Default 96-98 CTR or SiR Replica Headlights?

last time i checked, the 96-98 civic type r headlights are almost 500 bucks! my stock headlights are extremely foggy and gets all moist at night. i can't even see out of them. i figure i might as well replace them!! rather than spending 500 on a set of headlights, what are some good companies that make replicas.. this is going on a 96 roma red Ek hatch. any pics would be greatly appreciated.

What?!?!? You spent 300 for fakes?!?!

I'm sorry, but you should have either

a) spent around $7 for diy blackhousing

b) spent ~$100 for the replicas that the guy here on H-T sells or

b) spend around $500+/- for the real deal

Not $300 for ******* replicas!! If you look around you can easily find oem ctr headlights for that price!

Spend the money. Don't fake the funk. Otherwise just buy someone elses stock headlights. I have a set of stockers $180 plus shipping, in the boxes. taken off the car when it was 4 months old.

Why would you even try to tell him what he can and can't do with his car? If he wants replica lights, let him get replica lights. Damn how is that so hard to understand?
