seriously, it doesn't matter unless you're a jdm junky. there is no difference unless you look at them close as hell but who's gonna do that when they're on your car dude. i would get the ebay ones if i didn't get my foglights for free not really but im just saying

Why do you have to have the "JDM" units?

Just buy some good ol Stanley foglights and paint them/buy new bulbs if your that worried about how they look.

I wouldn't even say the aftermarket kits are of any less quality.

I've seen some aftermarket kits that I just absolutely could not believe weren't OEM.

IMHO, the only REAL difference is the price! Aftermarket get a from me (the nice ones anyway).

Why would the quality be different? They are almost exactly the same and they are both OEM just from different markets. I thought they were made by the same company.
