i wouldn't use them but if you like them get them. Id recommend resealing the headlights before you put them on. Usually aftermarket headlights aren't sealed well and moisture gets in. I"ve had experienced with some from jdmcarboy.

have them for my ej6, love them. EITHER RESEAL THEM OR PUT MINUTE HOLES IN THE BOTTOM OF THEM. other than that just plug them in and soder the angel eye wires on the parking brake and ground them and your done. took about 1hour. its bad ace in my oppinion.

I have looked at them before. TYC or nothing is the conclusion I came too, and re-sealing them is a great idea.

The only TYC one-pieces I would use are the ones that are designed to be HID, and come with the ballasts, D1S bulbs, harnesses, H1 highbeams, and a washer tank to mount the driver's side ballast on.

The picture is not working, but generally you should stick with TYC or Depo brands for lights if you're switching from OEM. The cheapie lights almost always fill up with water and/or develop condensation unless you pull them apart and re-seal them yourself. Cheap off-brand lights also tend to not have the best fitment.

Keep in mind also that most aftermarket halogen projectors have poor lighting, so unless you're planning on converting them to HIDs I would just stick with reflector halogens.

As if you have room to talk.

An 18-year old with a primered hood and an Acura badge on the Civic that mommy and daddy bought doesn't deserve a Honda either. BTW, were you aware that your body panels fit like *** and you have a giant ricer windshield banner?

Grow up.

I must be old. Why are there three headlights? HID, High Beams, and... ???

Is the third some kind of forward-only-lighting turn signal? Isn't that illegal? Couldn't an insurance company refuse to process a claim due to that?

How would it be illegal? How many cars on the road do you see with bumper-mounted forward-illuminating signals?

The illegal ones are the blue ones that some kid posted above. Blue lights are reserved for emergency vehicles only.

Possibly, if the lights aren't DOT-compliant (which most aftermarkets aren't) and are directly related to the cause of an accident.

but yes, they are cheap, i have them. i didnt seal them properly and i had condensation in one, drilled 3 tiny holes in the bottom and the condensation was gone with in 2days. other than the seal they are pretty good headlights, espesially for the money. i do have an ek but i just like the halo's in general, and no im not a ricer i dont like body kits or neon or being loud even though i am right now(turbo kits on the way). some people just like halo's. the lights that are stock in my new egay lights are much brighter than my stock lights. i just think its a good buy and good looks.

I wrecked the front end and needed new lights. These were cheaper than what the shop was charging for OEM. I bought these on eBay for about $80 (plus s/h). They are fine...not great. I've heard of people saying they are weak, but I think they are about the same brightness as stock. Also, mine have vent ports in the rear, so they don't condensate. They are something if you don't like the stock (I didn't). Also, most of these (pretty much all on eBay) are not meant for HID bulbs, so don't put them in unless you plan on blinding everybody else.

That's my car with the TYC's. I bought them after a truck ran over the front of my car and destroyed my headlamps. The light output is superior to stock and I get lots of compliments on how they look. Definately updates the front end of the car a little bit.
