They pretty much look like a copy of the JDMs. Price is good if you consider the price of new JDMs (~$600).. but you can get a good set of used JDMs for $250.

I must that I'm pretty impressed with those lights, but other than the black housing it's the lines in the shell that make it look good too with the JDMs.
Hum, I might trade my JDMs for some of those. They look much newer than the ones that I am working with. I like the amber corner, looks good with the amber corners.

IMO, they came out with these 5 years too late...back when even used JDM headlights were still $500+, these would've been flying off the shelf...but now that the price of used JDM's are ~$50 or so more, its gonna be tough to sell these....I'd rather pay $50 more for Stanley made headlights...can't go wrong with a genuine honda part...

^I was under the impression that, sooner or later, all headlights eventually need restorations after a period of time... from fogging to some scratches- even for jdm one pieces.

i beleive that there was an implication that the quality of the Ebay ones arent up to par, thus leading to the fogging...fogging only occurs when its not sealed properly or if the light is cracked, etc. Take care of your lights and they should never fog up...restoration is a different story...
oh yah i agree... I'm sure the ebay ones def don't have the same quality... im just saying, in general, seals over time always wear down though for any headlight. All it takes is a little heat or moisture to slip in.

not sure if im correct with this. but dont the JDM ones kinda point more towards the road since they r made for driving on the other side of the road? if this is true, wouldnt the people who retrofit HIDs into their one pieces be better off putting them into these, since these shouldnt face towards the road and blind oncoming traffic? i dont know, i might be way off, but i remember hearing this and wondering if this would be a better route to go

The jdms flare to the left since in japan they drive on the other side of the road with sigsn on the left. This left hand flare causes you to blind on coming traffic. Usdms flare to the right. We have signs on the right side so this lights up signs for us. Now the flare is the design of the reflector bowl. When doing a retrofit you are not using the bowl for the light, you are using a HID projector. This is what creates the flare, not the reflector bowl. With that in mind you still need to make sure you use projectors that flare to the right. So it doesn't really matter which headlight you use.
they look nice, but i must say those arent euro headlights...i have euro headlights which are 2 piece lights...who ever custom makes these just called them euro... and besides...from what i see on the picture, thse use 9005 and 9006 bulbs ... i m also a member from a prelude forum from europe (france and all near by countries...) all their headlights look are just like the 2 pieces i have...some of them did do the jdm swap tho.
