Hey guys, I needed to buy some new headlights for my 2000 civic, and I wanted to ask what the main difference is between buying new OEM headlights
and buying new aftermarket headlights?

My headlights have to much water inside and i want to buy OEM but they are extremely expensive for just one side, any help on why aftermarket is so much cheaper? will aftermarket headlights not fit my car correctly? is that why aftermarket is cheaper?

 

Sometimes the fitment is slightly off, most of the time the reflector isn't made as well so the beam will be more scattered. I bought some ebay type r replica headlights from seller "imotorsportoutlet" about a year ago and honestly they have held up surprisingly well. No fogging or leaking, and the beam pattern isn't terrible. Then again, I bought them for the specific purpose of doing an HID retrofit, but I just haven't gotten around to that yet.

 

PicknPull or any pull it yourself bone yard is your friend, $30 is the most expensive headlight assembly at PicknPull. 94
