http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2466657694 It is up to you whether you want to be authentic or not. People choose the Depos because they are cheap, and the average joe would not beable to tell the difference. http://board.hondasociety.com/showthread.php?t=98416 :rick: Groupbuy for the JDM style headlights. the price may be cheaper than egay. |
wow, $200? that's quite a bit for something you could do yourself at a fraction of that cost. you'd just have to buy the corners.

They also dont look quite the same as a "JDM" type light. I think the "JDM" ones are better cause you can adjust the low and high beams seperatly.
anyways, the depo headlights will come with headlight brackets too, so if you wanted the JDM style corners as well, you won't have to modify the brackets, and they'll fit perfectly. with the stock USDM headlight bracket, you have to modify them so that the corners will just go in place, then they most likely still won't fit right - one of the mounting points is located differently. |

how much does the stanley JDM accord headlight cost? A friend of mine has a genuine set, stanley made, but one of the corners have a small chip. Around 1 cm. but its not leaking? i dont know , planning to sell them over ebay and make some money.

I have the jdm corners and Would love to have the one piece but they don't make them do they? Anyone know any type-r style 1 pieces with the one projector ? Late

I think they are Fine to buy....
just make sure you pay a good price... And when they are installed dude makes sure the light is reflected towards the ground and not into the sky :mad: but get em man, they won't fall apart and are a cheap alternative... remember, i think those only have one slot for a corner light, so kiss that goodbye -Sun |
