What could be wrong with them? I'm talking about the "jdm" style black housing headlights? Is the plastic lens thin and so a rock will break them? bad seals? please let me know. I have tried cleaning mine but with no luck.

btw 99-00 ek

 

Well the headlights are just cheaply made. I know they tend to fog up alot. Idk how thin the lens are, but yea there not the greatest headlights made. But we all dont have lots of moeny to spend on our cars. So the choice is up to you.

 

I wouldn't trust any other brands than Stanley and DEPO for headlights.I bought some DEPO's in the past and I was very satisfied with them.The headlights never fogged up on me, and the headlights also fit well with minor gap issues.

These are like the ones I purchased,and they come with city lights too.

look at the bottom picture closely, it says depo on the lens

 

What if you use some silicone or caulk the seal on the headlights where the lens meets the housing? Do you think that would help them from fogging up? B/c i am in the same boat, i have been thinking about getting headlights off ebay.

 

i had some ebay headlights before it works fine. Just put silicone seal on them and then put them on your car. They will fog up if you don't.

 

Almost anything you buy off of ebay will need slight modification. But you should alright if you use some silicone seal on them

 

looks like these would be pretty easy to install city lights into.

 

i have had the ebay oem looking lights for 2 years now and no and no fogging, cracks, leaks or anything.

 

I was thinking of purchasing an Ebay headlights for 96 hatch, but after reading this, I having second thought. I did order a set from this seller for my uncle, he wanted an 98 all chrome clear headlight and it's really nice. It looks like oem spec, but with the orange.

For an older person that doesn't like the orange crap, he have great taste in lighting.

 

dude just stick to oem... i bought sum depo headlight for my 95 ej1 and they looked dope but when it was night and i turned em on.. it sucked they had alot of glare didnt do a good job of lighting up the road... just get go with sum type r imitation.... depo has sum i think

im real happy with the type r replicas i got from jdmshit. $125, good quality too.

 

Wait till you try to focus the cheapo ones, they scatter the beam all over the place.
Buy OEM's.

 

... mines werent type r or anything just black housing.... and sucked looked like i had a broken headlight or sumthing... i said type r bc ist type r ... "replica" rather than a headlight with black housing....

 

its is a copy of something that is dope and was professionaly engineered.. rather than a kool looking headlight that is cheap in its performance

 

I have some knock off Type R lights, probably Ebay quality, and they leak, are turning yellow and they scatter the beam like crazy, and they dont fit well. Im going to buy an OEM set.
