Hello HT!

I really would like to know how to verify an original EK9 96 spec headlight and grille... I bought this to a guy who I trust sells original parts..

i will try to post the picture of the headlights and grille tomorrow.

Please post your original 96 spec type-r headlights and grille..front and back if you can..please do help me..

thanks and more power!

what I notice:
headlight has a diffuser
grille is one piece (for 2k spec I think grille can be parted in two frame+grille)

 

The headlights will have HONDA and Stanley on the lenses. The grille will have HONDA on the back.

 

There is Honda and stanley on the lenses..I can't find any Honda name at the back of the grille..

please help..

if you can please post pics of your headlight and grille 96 spec ctr..many thanks

 

All plastic Honda pieces will have HONDA on it. It will be small though.

OEM 96-98 CTR grille

 

 

I posted this on ek9.org

they look real.. so

 

You said the headlights say HONDA and Stanley, so those are genuine. The grille, however, looks aftermarket.

OEM 96-98...




OEM 99-00 (which yours look the closest to)...




Yours...

 

thanks for the reply...

how would I know if the headlights were not repainted to have that CTR look?

because I noticed pictures of CTR headlights does not have any hat or diffuser..mine does

Is there a city light socket?

 

if you take a close look at the pictures I posted at ek9.org..the H4 bulb has a hat/diffuser..or a city light socket if that is what is called..

 

The city light socket is a small socket at the rear of the headlight. But since the CTR headlights do not have the bulb cap, yours must be repainted.

 

someone on ek9.org that for 96 spec it comes with a diffuser/hat on the bulb..

where do I look for the city light socket?care to post pics?

many thanks BlueIntegra

the middle socket

 

You have a fake grille, and those headlights look to be DEPO headlights that have been repainted.

 

I have that city light socket?what is the significance of that BlueIntegra?thanks

Eran do DEPO headlights have HONDA brand in the casing?I have not bought any DEPO lights yet

No, they will say DEPO on them. The headlights you have look exactly like ones I used to have, except painted.

Actually, from the looks of it, you have repainted Stanley EDM headlights.

 

actually I have been thinking that they are repainted..there is sealant all over the headlight..maybe because it has been opened..

Do ctr 96 spec headlights have hats/caps/diffuser?

Like I said before, it looks like they are indeed Stanley headlamps, just the EDM ones.

I will tell my friend about it and I hope we can work things out..thanks!
