Default ej8 headlight question



I just got a 2000 civic ex coupe. It has smoked type headlights, and I think they look pretty cool. However, the blinkers don't really show up well, because there is no reflector in the headlight housing. I was wondering if anyone knew if I had modified OEM headlights, or just some ebay bullshit.

Also, they are kinda cloudy, think I could wet sand them and bring them back to new, or should I just buy some new headlights?

you should be able to tell if you look at the bottom inside corner of the lense. it should say something like "honda" or "stanley" anything else and its aftermarket...

i wetsanded mine, but make sure you use a high grit or you will be sanding for days like i did. after that just buff and polish the hell out of them and they will look beautiful. try just buffing first though before sanding...saves alot of time and work, not to mention has better results for the most part. if you search, i believe there is a few good writeups on this.

I had an 01 stang with crappy stained/fogged headlights so I wetsanded and polished them. I'll try that and if it fails, then I will get the jdmshit ones.
