Default Street-legal headlights

Are there any street legal aftermarket headlights for 5th gens?

And also...are clear corners and bumper lenses legal?

silverstars or just bite the bullet and get the HID.. dont buy any others....
clears are legal as long as you dont put any stupid bulbs in them.. keep it clean and you wont get yanked...

in cali, front clear corners are fine as long as u have clear/amber bulbs in them, back clear corners are fine as along as u have amber/red bulbs in them, brake lights cannot be clear even with red bulbs

Put in some Sealed beam headlights!!! I heard those are the bomb shizzle!!!!

P.S. The new Lexus SUV with clear tails is legal. It has red reflectors in the rear bumper, which makes it legal, which rice tails do not have.

well in ny, there are TONS of people with HID's and cops barely f^&k with em, unless some idiot decides to aim it to the moon as some people do... and with my altezzas it came with a dot approved signed paperwork + that stupid lil tyc card, that gets u out of situations of cops trying to find a way to mess with ya ive had my car for over 4 years now, only thing cops every messed with me for were, (exhaust being too loud, and tints) which the judge dismissed the case.

not sure about how socal rules are, but cops over here are not as strict to pull u over for altezzas or hid's, unless ur one of those kids that has ur system blasting and grilling at cops when u drive by em like ur gonna do a drive by, if i was a cop then i would of pulled ya *** over too..

everyone has their taste in style, i know those jaguar tezz's are far more better than some cars u and i have seen around with those wings that look like its about to take off, or giant stickers of things half of them dont even have...

i was referring to the tyc card, because someone was saying can u pass inspection with them... and that was my reply back... if you check around im pretty sure im not the only one with these jaguar style altezz's...

if your talking about the whole headlight and not the bulbs, you should get the depo black housing headlights...if your into the ricer **** just go and get some angle ring ones and call it a day!

i have them on my accord, they look really nice

those are the exact same headlights you have now on your 5thgen just with the painted black housing, the real Sir headlights are slightly different and i think you need to do some minor shaving to get it to fit correctly. plus they use different bulbs if im not wrong H4's?

yeah those are the same as your stock headlights with black housing but the corner is dif and it wouldn't look right with the black headlight. you can paint the housing black by yourself then buy the corners seperatly from autodynamic.com

Good, I'll be getting those sometime in the near future...

By the way, these are certified and all that by the appropriate organizations and all that...correct? Or do they not need to be certified since the design is the same?
