My fake JDM headlights + silverstars - before/after
I'm a VW guy, and this is my first mod ever to my dd Civic. 
I drive pretty much to and from work in the dark, and my lighting has become a real issue. I had some change jingling in my pocket so I went ahead and ordered some headlights and amber corner lights. The headlights are "JDM style" with the city lights, but I opted not to install them.
$80 eBay headlights + $44 H4 Silverstars ...and I'm pretty happy with the results.
Here's a crapload of before/after pics... (yes I know it looks retarded with stock corners... the ambers have "shipped out")

Now time for the money shots. :jackoff2:

...and one head on shot after (yes, this is low beams as well!), this pretty much tells the story, I'm very pleased.

negative... I ordered amber corners on ebay same time I ordered these headlights. The headlights even had a shipping problem and took 2x as long, and I still don't have the corners. I'm giving them until Monday for them to send me some kind of info. All I have is the "payment received" about the corners ...they never sent me a shipping confirmation.
I agree, it looks like *** with stock corners, but then again, this car is my beater and it took me 6 months to spend this $140 on it. It should look a lot better when I get ambers on there.

I have the exact same headlights. Light output is 10X better than OEM
I purchased mine from a different seller which included the city light sockets for $80 shipped
