Default Fog Lights OEM or Replica?

well my question is, would you suggest getting the Oem or the replica (JDMSHIT) one. ARe they more or less the same thing? Money is abit thight so the price of the replica ones is good but are they as good as the OEM ones? Plz give me your opinions?

Thanks HT

Dave

oems are the best IMO b/c the wiring plugs into the correct locations and they plug into the oem fog light switch. try to find a friend that works at honda. oem was 269.99 but wholesale, i got them for $117.89 including tax. plus 20$ for the switch.

I saved big time and had to do very very little fab work. Basically none at all. Looks like you are getting the 92-95 style ones. I don't know much about them.

I like my JDM ones. Of course, the replicas are just as good as OEM ones.

I've had both replicas and my current oem set. I can tell you that the build quality of the oem ones are much, much nicer. For example, the internal chrome reflector is much more mirror-like and will not burn off from lamp heat, over time. Also, the lense is larger on the oem ones. They are much brighter (I have Stanley clear, not amber) and the external plastic covers have a star pattern around the opening. I rocked the replicas real hard for like 6 months, but the oems are forever. Save your cash and get a clean set of oems.
