If you need me I'll be in the back reading threads from 2001 and pretending they are current.

people judged the ebay headlights early as well, and look ; you still have people using them and liking them.

why dont we wait until someone has them on and posts pix before judging them?

I just don't see why anyone would consider replacing a quality OEM piece with a cheap ebay part.


for one thing, all these aftermarket headlights and taillights don't even flow with the car, they stand out so much it takes away from the car itself..

I'm torn between the headlights.

I like the way both look in a way. I think they look a little more updated per what 2007+ lights on some cars look like.

I think at night, they would look stunning.

I wonder if someone put the OEM lens cover (lined) on the Ebay lowbeams, if that would look better.


I want to do it....but then again, I don't




You can make the lights work just fine for driving with slight modification

That's why there is a write up on taking your quality oem piece apart because they start to look like crap? I see they made by Stanley but my 92 Honda didn't have the light problem these cars are plagued with.

there will always be people who like a different type of design, like the bomex or veilside bodykit for the sc, not my cup of tea but if you like it, go for it! At the end of the day, you have to enjoy your car.

I just want to see them on a car first, and preferably a black one with a 97+ front bumper before making my decision.


And I don't want to buy them and be dissapointed

lol

my point is, alternatives spur on the creativity; the blacked out ebay headlights w/ the clear lens inspired my clear lens, blacked out, properly retrofitted TSX lights.

we'll see how it looks
