Default black housing lights.

Do you guys its worth the time to black house rsx lights, or is it more worth it just to buy the real thing. what are the high risks?

It's easy DIY.
Make sure you use good waterproof silicon.
IMO, itr headlights cost too much.
It's up to you.

Because some people actually know how to remove their headlights, paint properly, and then make a watertight seal...

Then again.. some people dont

DIY. Ive done 3 sets on a rsx and 1 on a focus. If you can do it right, go for it. It looks awesome.

if you don't have the money...go with diy. i did mine a while back but am looking to buy some real jdm's. the real jdm's have a bronze tint to it so if you diy yours, be sure to add a little bronze to it. good luck!!...diy's tend to fog up a little bit too if the seal job isn't too good.
