Is it really worth the $400?

custom headlight painting might be rice but ive seen some damn good ones that look close to the real thing. not to mention the $$

 

They also have little city lights y0!

But seriously, they aren't worth $400. IMHO (Even though I have SiR headlights )

 

arent the city lights just your turn signal tho?

I found a guy selling for $200 but its kinda damaged

just wondering if its worth it

 

yes they are worth it. you can install city lights. brag that you have ctr's, and blind on-coming traffic with your HID's b/c there isn't a diffuser shield in it.

Nope. In fact the turn signals on JDM cars only light up when you activate them to signal a turn.

The city lights are little lights inside the headlight that stay on, but don't blink.

The only reason I got my JDM headlights is because one of my old headlights shattered, and I figured "why the hell not." Plus I was able to get them mad cheap...and I'm a ***** .

What sort of damage is done? It's really up to you if you decide to spend the extra money on a little bling rather than a little "go."

 

Things are worth different things to different people.

If YOU dont think they are worth it, then don't buy them.

I dont think half the things people to do their cars, including mine, are worth it.

One of these days half of you guys will get your own backbone and stop leaning on other people to figure out what you like.

genious.

the only time you should ask OPP (hahaha) other people's opinions, is when it is not a cosmetic issue...mechanics obviously have goods and bads and people have their testimonials and reasons for liking and disliking a certain functional product...

Comsmetics though, I guess if you need someone to break the tie, where you honestly cant decide what you want, then i guess its cool. The power of pursuasion (i cant spell) i tell ya....

 

if you want the real thing, but don't want to spend a boatload of money on it....get the ones offered from http://www.soulracing.com . i think they're the ones that say "best jdm look." oh yeah $129 plus shipping ain't bad.

anyways, i could have seen myself buying a brand new set of the real deals for like 400 or so, and a rock jumping out of nowhere and tearing my junk up. it just would happen to me on my new headlights. so i opted for a cheaper version.

finish is excellent, and they look IDENTICAL to the real thing, minus the honda stamp on the lens. even the stock honda city light sockets plug right in. perfect.

plus if these get damaged, i'm not in over my head. i'll risk it at $129.

 

are city lights just daytime running lights in Canada?

 

no. City lights are real small low-output bulbs that are in the main headlight reflector. They just brighten the headlight circle, but dont really cast an outward beam

 

they are the same as the push-in style sidemarker bulbs.

Off topic.. i recently replaced my HID's with super yellow halogens in my ctr headlights and the glaring problem is solved.

 

I personally dont' think they are worth it. I would rather just paint my stock ones and call it a day. Save the money for something else, but that is my opinion. Whatever floats your boat.

Umm...

I don't know what the big deal on ctr headlights is.

 

holy chit im stupid. opo...hmm yah im stupid.

 

its all a styling preference... just like a carbon fiber hood. really how many people do you know put a racing hood on their car to make it go faster... I always felt it was always show over function...

I can understand if the car is a weekend racer and sits in your garage and is completely gutted, but if your the ceo of some company driving some rice rocket all tricked out and ****, for ***** sake of being tricked out because you like to spend your money on **** to tune.

its all up to your wallet and what you want to do with your money.

I scored mine for 250 and I got my carbon fiber hood for free... I would of never paid 500 for some ****** headlights if my car came with some, and would never of paid 800 dollars for my carbon fiber hood like body kits nw was charging for the thing...
