Default EG JDM foglights vs. Aftermarket...

I was lookin around and found these JDM look foglights:

http://www.procarparts.com/sto...52FLX. I was wondering what the difference is between these and the JDM H.O.P. foglights (besides the bulb color and manufacturor):

http://www.passwordjdm.com/pro...D=250

What do you guys think?? The only reason I'm considering these is because I'm on a budget and these things look pretty similar to JDM for a lot less $$$.

I was wondering myself. Very slight differences like the color of the lens and such.

I like them, but they are black... did you paint these or did they come like this? Also, did you paint the lens? AND is there a link to the guy you bought these from?

I think I'll just go with the H.O.P. foglights... yellow or white? What do you guys think?

I have depo brand copies. They are sex.
They look like oem, plug-in like oem, they even tasted kinda like oem.

Brightness will have to do with the bulb (or output). Not brand.

edit- I got mine from Luudogg55. Shoot him a PM, I got mine for about $100.

Inspect what you want.. 1/2 the parts off my car is worth more than both of your cars.

Did I say anything about og jdm? nope.. I said OEM has better light output for FUNCTIONALITY.. not to be some trendy jdm ****** b/c you got foglights.

Function &gt; Fashion.

Think before you type.

There is something called quality..

And the the projectors are not the same.. projector affects the light output.

Taken from the EJ sqaud post... By looking @ this pic you can tell who has OEM and who has copies.

Damn, jump on it . Im guessing you own oem or jdm lights right...
Ive owned them both, i've compared them side by side, and it is really tuff to tell the difference.
And the Depos are really good quality lights in comparison to oem lights, so I dont what you're smokin.

The reason that pic looks so different, is b/c some of those are yellow... some are not.

Nope I don't own a civic nor do I own fogs.

oem/jdm =

depos =

No.. I know the owner w/ the depo's and the light output sucks.. he knows it too.
