How to identify real 96-98 CTR headlights??

I just got my CTR headlights in for the 96-98 civic hatch and was wondering if there was anyway to make sure they are genuine. They came in the honda box and have the city light, but was wondering for a sure way to determine if they are original. TIA

They will have a city light, they will say HONDA and Stanley on them, and they will have a tinted/gunmetalish finish on the housings.

You can tell mine are fake because they have none of the above. Plus they were only $165. God bless Newman!

I have a set of CTR lights for my EK and it's exactly how you stated.

the real ctr lights also do not have the little shields that cover the headlight bulb.

ok thanks guys. I will check the lights ASAP. I am sure they are real. I will check them when I get to the shop on Friday. I just wanted to check before the body shop picks them up and installs them. They are from VIS racing and cost about $500 so they better be real. On another note, VIS really knows how to pack their products. The headlights could have been dropped out of a plane and I don't think they would break.
