Default ebay jdm crystal headlights

Anybody have experience or know of anybody that bought off this guy? He seems pretty legit and these headlights on passwordjdm are $300 but these are only $100. they look almost the same if not 100%. But for $100 how can you pass that up.

what most people do is take apart their headlights and black them out. The ones on ebay aren't bad, but from what I've heard the bulbs dont fit snug in their sockets

I have these lights. I have painted them and done some other things with them. They are nice. You might want to reseal them, and put some silicone on your sockets too, because they don't sit in there perfect.

If you are having issues with "fog" (water) try popping out the bulbs and blowing a hairdryer in there for a few minutes, then put some rice in there. Literally. The rice will absorb water.

BTW, what color em2 do you have? Im in Branford. Mine is red, I had 5 star 17's but now rocking Si's.. maybe youve seen it. hit me up

Same thing. It doesn't have those metal clips that hold the OEM lights together though. (I helped him out.) And I was also told NOT to touch the inside of the lens because there's a coating on there that is really thin and could get permanently damaged when messed with.

Yeah, but there are plastic clips that will probably snag when you are pulling the lens off. So make sure you pry them open.
