alright, i have been looking on the civic coupe pic thread and have fallen in love with the gunmetal headlights. i was wondering if anyone has any of the ebay headlights and if there any good, and if any one has the gunmetal ones. dont realy want to pay $450 for the jdm ones on passwordjdm. any help is welcome. thanks.

im sure theyll work and look great, only thing to watch out for is shitty sealing, so they might fog up, but who knows, i could be wrong.

 

simple fix is to go around the outside of the light and reseal it before you even use it. as far as the quality im not sure but the main thing would be the seal as previously stated. ofcourse you could also follow up on a DIY here on the board.

 

alright, cool. i guess ill buy em and i wont be out that much if they suck. ill go ahead purchase them, then seal, and do a write up if all goes well.

 

Interesting, I hadn't seen this style before I always just come across the ones with the flat gunmetal housing or flat black, they seem like their probably the closest to the real ctr headlights. I definitely would like to see them installed on a car.

 

$45 for shipping??? Jesus Christ!!!!

 

i bought black housing lights, not off ebay, and they began to leak after a few months, luckily they had the factory drains. anyways go to autozone, get a tube or two of clear RTV silicone. its your best friend. cut the tip as small as possible to get it down in the cracks and use your finger to smooth over and press into tight spots. i did this in about 5 min and shut the hood hasnt leaked since. good luck

 

dont get them bro...i got some gunmetal 99-00 headlights from jdmcarboy...basically the same quality as the ebay ones...aniwaise...the lighting output sucked...too much scattering...after a couple months they started fogging up...plus fitment isnt all that great...i sealed mines up and sold them...stick with oem or the CTR's bro...trust me...

 

yeah i wouldnt get them..i got some ebay headlights a while back and they were crapppp..just open ur stock 1's and paint em
