The only difference between the two are the ctr is more of a smoked chrome color as the depo lights are black.. also the ctr doesnt have the delfector that goes around the light bulb.. its really your call on the lights tho.. they will both hold up and last just as long.. just tryin to help

OEM CTR lights....


DEPO lights

I would stick with the CTR lights. The smoked chrome looks so much more professional and cleaner than the painted plastic stuff.

And as the saying goes...

There's no replacement for di- Honda OEM parts.

I would go with the depo because I think the CTR's are just to freaken expensive! Either way I don't care for street cred... I care more about track cred lol
