Default Before After DIY Black to Aftermarket Black

Well twas a rainy day today and my aftermarket black headlights arrived so i decided why not put them on?

First pic is before, OEM DIY-Black Housed lights, next two pics are after, Aftermarket Black Housed.... Much Betta! IMHO

Was a bitch to install due to the stupid way honda lights are installed... but nevertheless got them in and they fit pretty darn well too! Glass lens's!

Ebay: $103 shipped, includes city-light socket

Look alot less foggy and better black behind them, nice that it includes city lights, makes your front look alot cleaner, nice buy.

woo went out for a ride and my right bulb low beam went out . Damn greasy fingers!

I got a new bulb fixed it right up, the main difference with these, which is more pronounced in person:

1. Smooth glass lens, no ridges in glass like oem
2. NEW! No rock chips!
3. Diamond cut reflective housing as opposed to smooth mirrored
4. City light hole and free socket!

Thats all, not a huge change but a welcome one nonetheless! Now if my amber corners would just get here

I got a tripod so ill snap another pic when the battery charges up, i lovem!
