First, did these come stock on any accords 94-97?

I am wanting to replace my amber ones and wanted to know if these
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW

or any other kind on ebay would be good to get?

I've heard some places to steer clear of the headlights on ebay, is this true?

 

Not an option to my knowledge on any year Accords they have to have certain colors to them because of DOT and Japanese highway regulations etc. The fitment may be an issue and they are not legal in most states.....I used to own a set of both of those lights because of the previous owner but I ditched them for the SiR clears and the amber tabbed version bumper lights.

 

I got those. Exact same match. Though police here in CA don't care about it, it's illegal without any reflectors. Though people don't care over here. Anyways clear is fine. But I do suggest getting some amber bulbs though.

 

i just looked up the law in florida and it does not say anything about non-reflective corner lights and stuff..... but i would get amber bulbs if i buy them

but hows the quality of them?... i dont want them to get here and they just fall apart or they begin to let water in or anything like that..

Well the quality are great. I had the corners for almost 10 yrs on the car, and it just leaked now. The bumper ones are great still. They are good. Remember, the bumper lights from 94-95 are different from 96-97. But the corners lights are compatible with all the 5th gen Accord yrs.

Overall they are pretty good quality but I did notice that after time (about a year or more) the chrome on the inside starts to peel and fade on the corner lights the bumper lights should be okay since there is no chrome. Oh yeah Cali is great the police here don't care as stated by kid very leaniant in my area.

 

ebay lights such as those usually get moisture inside the lens from bad seals.. i don't recommend them.

 

Yea I have the clear corners and bumper lights and they look great on my black 97'. Not sure about how long they will last I have only had them for about 3 months.

I noticed that when I first tried to insert the bulbs in mine that they where a bit loose. That could be a cause of a moisture problem. I'm not sure, all I did was double up the rubber washer. No moisture problems yet. Two full years of rain, sleet, hail and snow. You can buy a plumbers washer kit for $5 max. Very easy fix.

Now if your talking the main seals around the lenses themselves I haven't had a problem with them yet..... A tube of two part appoxy should clear that up real fast.

 

is there anyway of like resealing them before i put them on?

and by chance, does anybody know if a 96-97 front bumper will fit on a 94?

 

No the bumper lights on the 94 are different than the 96-97. Most corner lights should last a long time. I live in California, where it doesn't rain a lot and doesn't get cold that much. But they do last long. If you want to, you can heat them up in the oven and push them together to get a better seal.

 

&/or re-seal the lens before you install them.

 

I understand that the bumper lights are different from a 96-97, but I'm talking about the actual bumper. I need to replace the bumper on my car and wanted to know if i would be able to put a 96-97 bumper on my car. (1994 Accord)

If it is not possible, I will just order the lights for a 94 Accord, seeing as how once I get a new bumper for my car, I could just change out the lights. But if it is possible, I would wait to see if I could find a 96-97 bumper instead, as I like them more. And then order the lights for that bumper.
