hmmm knock off CTR style lights. Do they make them for a 96-98? I rather these if they look good than black housing.

 

Never seen them before.. care to be the guinea pig? If they start to fog up, you can open them up in your oven and reseal them the correct way so moisture doesn't get inside.

 

they've got these

and these also

hard to tell but they may be virtually the same thing.. i'm not sure.


thinking about getting them for my coupe. they don't look too bad i don't think. buddy on cardomain has them so these are pics of his car. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3872463

 

They look solid. I picked up a pair of something similar for my Sol but they have A LOT of glare. I'm going to pick up a set of stock corners and go back stock

 

Ive used 96-98 ebay CTR lights. the pattern is absolute garbage and they usually leak. Did a HID retrofit so doesnt matter now. Also the lens gets yellow after several months.

 

hmmm. well i think i'm probably going to try the smoked style lights and hope for the best. since i'll be transfering a retrofit as well i guess it doesn't matter whether the stock halogen output is good or not lol.

 

bump

 

I have them. They're a little on the bronze side. Plus they fog up from the inside. Weak. Plus the light beam is wack. I think I'm just gonna black-chrome my stock lights.

 

eff that
ill wait till someone uses them and i think some chinese company makes all this junk anyways but it seems like a newer design they got going the black housing headlights just looks cheap

and about the retrofit i was thinking but never liked them on a 96-00 civic

 

why don't you just paint your oem headlight housing black and sand the lens to a clear finish? better than ebay junk.

 

well i have done that many times but it just looks cheap just liek the ebay black housing headlights. dull black vs the ctr gunmetal

i want one that looks like the ctr ones but doesn't cost a fortune

 

I hate the amber side bar on the 96-98 lights lol.

 

they can be easily removed, only one screw holding it on i think last time i removed them. but im not a big fan of removing them now

 

Mine doesn't don't have the amber reflectors...same concept though.

I like them...fitment was good...haven't had any moisture...don't have pics before I put the eyelids on sorry.

 

i was sketchy about the idea also but i really wanted hids. i knew the stock housings output was pretty much garbage, so i bit the bullet and did the retrofit. it definitely looks different, but they've certainly grown on me since i've first installed them lol.

 

erm..either your headlights are tinted or the reflectors are painted darker as well either way...

To the OP, I bought those same exact ones you're looking at since I wanted a set of cheap aftermarket, and those were only a little more $ than the typical ones. However, all I can say is they are not noticably darker period. Here's a few pics with mine on




I can't comment on the beam pattern cause I didn't notice much of a difference between OEM and them, but I'm not certain.

A few days ago I sprayed the insides with some brake light tint

 

If you're going to get egay headlights just get the TYC ones.
