Default would these headlights....

I found them on ebay and i was wondering if http://www.assembleweb.com/ima...n.jpg those look good on a black civic?

It's a black coupe 98 so if anyone has pics of these on their car can you post it pls? They're supposed to be gunmetal.

they're rly hazy and i'm having a lot of trouble cleaning them up, i tried sanding as well and meguars. It's not the yellow haze either, it's just fogged up. And on top of that i need to see why when i turn the left signal turns on, but when i just have my lights on it doesn't turn on, so i figured while checking the wiring i could change them, but idk. It's about 100 bucks for the new ones.

Actually thats not true at all. You just have to buy the OEM replacements (which arent DEPO, and arent OEM). I bought some from a guy on there and have had them on my car for about 2 months. Absolutely no leaks what so ever.

If you're that worried about leaks, then just run a bead of silicone over them and install...... no leaks.

There is no point in spending $450 on some headlights if:

A. Its not in your budget
B. You're more about go fast goods
C. You're smart. I mean c'mon, $450 for some headlights that will oxidize anyway.

IMO its not worth it. To the OP, get what you like. If you want to prevent a possible leak just silicone them bad boys up.
