Default uhhh, you want how much for ctr headlights? *PICS*

I think i'll do it myself.... I don't have $1,000 laying around for neato headlights. I do however have some time and nice paint.

I actually messed up a little. I wanted to keep the chorome inside the corner light, but my blue.... PAINTERS.... tape, pealed some off, so I had to paint it. I was pretty bummed.

Shitty camera phone, in the garage after dark... So it looks like I painted them black, they aren't, I used gunmetal wheel paint.

CTR headlights only run about $300. And they have city lights sockets.

Nice job though

300ish all day. However the older our cars get, so the harder it's going to be to find new headlights.

So I really wouldn't be suprised if the climb that high.

$50, will bearly get ebay headlights and they blow. Lol

I paid $220 shipped for my CTR lights. *shrug*

The way I see it, CTR lights aren't something you need, so you can afford to wait until the right deal comes along.

Also, PW:JDM sells some items (like the lights) way over what they should. There is no reason to buy brand new lights when a clean set of used ones can look and perform just as well as the new ones.

CTR lights new from the dealer in Japan run about $600. I don't know where you guys are getting the $1000 number.

No casper shields. No city lights. Maybe not bad for $60 though, if you don't want to crack your lights open and bake them.

Password, their known for that kind of crap.

I saw 96-98 lights posted for 800 ish in the past. But I manily see them posted for 600-700, manily below in the 650 range.

Where he got 1k form I dunno.

I would have never bought ebay lights but I wrecked my car and couldn't find oem lights. I was young and was ohh "jdm". Now I kick myself. They look good, but aren't. Pass side leaks like a siv.

They would charge $70-280 to ship those headlights to Miami. I really hope no one buys from them.

Is it OEM or aftermarket?
My friend had a aftermarket sunroof in his hatch and it leaked like crazy.... The seals were failing left and right.
