Default Black housing clear headlights for EK Civic that don't leak?

Where can you buy some decent black housing clear headlights for EK Civic that don't leak? Anyone have a pair that has been holding up? How much were they? I bought some clear ones and the chrome plastic housing is bubbling up and it looks like ****. Suggestions appreciated.

it's up to you, flat black looks better than gross black if you doing a black housing.
or try this, colormatch Joo car's color.(dont know it's rice or not)
put a bunch of silicone sealer on it, you prolly will see some water vapers for a while and it will be gone after the first week

I just did this myself. When you put it back together, make sure to use a good amount of silicone, and take your time. I guess APC makes some stuff that'll do the same thing but why buy $200 headlights when you can buy an OEM pair that fit better on E-bay for 50 bucks? If you need the how-to, do a search on here... There's a couple of how-to's posted.

get real deal CTR...nothing beats it.
the DIY ones look good but i think real ones look best
plus with OEM you don't have to worry about plastic bubbling up

CTR is the only way to go. If you dont wanna waste the money then just dont worry about some black headlights.
