They are not too bad. I dont drive an EG but i have seen them on many eg's and i dont think they look too bad.

Do they feel ricey to you??
Answer?
Thats all that matters.

I think they're ricey.

If they were black they'd be less ricey.

I prefer black housing regular looking headlights though.

A lot of people actually like this style of aftermarket headlight. They're called Denji headlights. They're sought after.

I don't particularly care for them, but I'm also not really super into 5th gens.

Get them if you like them. Who cares if it's JDM or not. F*ck the haters.

OP: and when I say they're kinda ricey (not much, just a little), that's just my opinion. If you get them or not I really don't care.

A lot of people will still like them, if that's what you're worried about OP.

No matter what you do to your car there will be some people that straight up hate it/you. My car is nearly all Honda parts and plenty of people don't like it.

OEM lights with amber side markers.

I would personally spend my money on something more functional. Suspension, brakes, swap........

If your car is totally finished and you are looking for minor upgrades, then get something aftermarket that you like. Otherwise, save the bling until your car can back it up.

x2 . if its fits well, then just black out the housing... it looks like crap when the clear lenses aren't that clear. You can try to buff it out, but cheap stuff you might crack the plastic.
