I JUST got the same pair off Ebay about a month ago. They look 10x better than halo's. There's a fitting in them for driving lights too just on the inside corner of the main headlight fitting. Make sure you get the ones that have the GLASS cover, NOT the plastic. They are the same price and better quality.

The amber corners are very light though, I'm blackin them out anyways, but the corners are cheap that come with them.

By the way, the corners will need to be re-sealed with clear silicon. The ones I got had openings here and there. Cheap-*** POS's.

Seems to be a mass stigma about Ebay parts. Honestly, some of the no-name stuff I've bought turned out to be just as good.

It may work but the fitment is usually awful.

I would get a used pair of OEM's. But if you want aftermarket go with the one piece TYC's.

do you have a pic of the lights intalled in your car for me to see the fitment and how they look. Thanx. i think i might just get them and have the halos as spare. I just need to see someone with them to make my choice.

By the way, Lights Cost $50 and $45 Shipping. is price fair? or anyone know where i can get them same price better quality or cheaper same quality

get them man. those halo's are terrible. i have a pair of ebay headlights for my sedan, and never had a problem with them. ive had them for over a year now and they still look good as new. i do suggest like someone else said, apply some clear silicon around the corners of the headlights to prevent water from getting in and any sort of moisture. as for them being pieces of crap, trust me they're not. they'll look great! goodluck

i think i might consider getting them, im kinda tired of my halos, plus Halos dont let me put my hood pins on where i want them cuz they too big and block off the chassis/radiator support holes.

**** id keep them. I own a pair on my EG8. If nothing is wrong then why buy new ones? Just so your car can look like every other one out there? I have halos on mine cuz I don't want my car to look like someone else's car. Makes my car alittle diffirent, I might say. Think about it maybe those halo's are preventing those JDM grabbing thieves from stealing your ****.

And you have a point there....It doesnt look riced out...but it doesnt look JDM aither. It gives it a newer look.

i would still like to see a pic of those lights in someones car that has them. maybe that will change my mind...

I might consider keeping the Halos and save the money for my B20 build
