As the title says...how do you tell them apart?..Is one glass and one plastic like older jdm headlights..?....Thanks in advance

 

You can tell if it is real or not by the tint of the housing. fake ones are just flat black. the real ones have like a dark bronze tint. also I do believe it says honda on it. but I'm not sure about the honda part, I've had my headlights on my car for 2 years.

 

thanks........i was browsin ebay and i found these......i'm not planning to get them...but damm..is it me or do these look pretty authentic to me.....

Replicas on eBay could be DIY OEM headlights so they would say "Honda" too.

But yea, it has a nice metallic shimmer to it. It's got a dark bronze color that can't be copied.

 

I have the real jdm lights. It says "honda" on them on the inside corner of the lense. And ther is a bronze and black color to them.

 

thanks for the responses

 

some ppl now are doing the dark bronze tint DIY's so replica's won't be far off.

 

also with the jdm's, there will be a light cut off on the lights..so when there on, should should see semi circles

 

There is a company out there called DEPO that makes performance and OE lamps. They have good quality and match the OE specs. The lights shown on the link are probably DEPO lights so you can rely on the quality of them.

The only problem with the JDM's is the beam pattern messes with oncoming traffic (shoots off to the left). If you DIY or buy the replicas, at least they will have the correct beam pattern.

Believe me, I have the HID JDM's and I have to adjust the beam all the way down to keep the light off on-coming traffic.

i have the JDM lights and the beam pattern is perfect.

 

jdm lights like on the ep3's dont have a dot number on them. Check the lenses.

those are fake ... they say "JDM RSX Style" on it ... so it's not the real thing. Lots of ebay sellers will try to do this to make you think it is real

 

Yea i know......i just know alot of people will opt to get these and it would just suck to see eveyone rolling around with fake headlights...I myself dont agree with fake ish....Save up and get the real deals!
