fake ones don't have the citylight holes unless you drill one there, it's hard to tell because the chrome looks a little too light to look like real ctr lights

Well, they do make non CTR headlights in Japan. Every Civic that sees production is not a CTR...There are other models. It is possible those came from a Ferio, SiR, etc.

yes...you can still get "best jdm" with them.....but if you want the darker ones, those aren't them. You will be different though running og headlights that aren't ctr.

look for these things...
-does it say SAE/DOT? if so...FAKE no sae/dot in japan

-should be smoked/chrome...not just straight chrome

-running light

-no reflector over the bulb

to prevent from getting scammed..just buy em new..

hahahaha....to tell you tha truth, i made them okie dok headlights. guess i had a lil too much time huh? this was just a test "wanna b ctr headlights." i will profect it soon, just need the housing to be painted the gunmetal color. the only reason i decided to do this was becasue the headlight bracket was broken from an accident and there was really no use for it. how many of you were fooled? looks good for a 1st tyme diy headlight thing. well have fun looking
