    E-bay OEM headlight

    Hello, one of the crappy ebay projectors the previous owner of my car installed finally gave out on me. I was wondering if the aftermarket oem ebay headlights were actually OEM quallity or if I should just go junkyarding to find a pair of true oem headlights.

    Here is a link to the sort of ebay OEM light I am talking about.

    Thanks in advance.

          Those headlights are not OEM they are aftermarket, the description says it.

          OEM ones from dealer will easily cost $200 or more each, but for an 18+ years old car is not worth to buy OEM ones, the aftermarket ones should be fine and any body shop uses aftermarket parts anyway.

          I just bought the black one piece plastic ones with projectors and I am replacing the useless halogen projectors for xenon ones.

            I know they are aftermarket and not manufactured by honda, I say that in the first post. My question was if they were OEM quality. I appreciate the responses though.

            I think I am going to go with them, thank you all for the information.

              I bought one from ebay for a friend (she was about to spend $275 at the dealer )

              Been 1.5 years and she has had no issues with fitment (I put it in for her) and it has not fogged either.

              Still miss the CB though......maybe one day.

                Of course aftermarket parts are never as good as OEM.
                The aftermarket plastic brackets are really thin and the same goes for the body (back part of headlight) but once installed nobody will notice the difference and for only 25% of the price of OEM you can't complain.

                  I used the Depo headlights for my retrofit. They were pretty good for the 120 bucks I paid, but they don't like to be baked in the oven too many times. I had the housing snap on 1 set while fixing my retrofit.
