Stallion Motorsports1647545491 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 So we got a new to us car the other day to replace our van. Both headlights are foggy, I was going to wet sand them down, however there is moisture in both. I wasn't going to replace them until I found pairs of "oem" quality headlights on eBay for $99 and 1aauto.com for $125. So I understand these are aftermarket, however how do these china lights fit, and how do they hold up? Should I even waste my time? Anyone done this? Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhead Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I got cavalier headlights off amazon. The one was perfect, other set a bit low, but I may have been able to adjust it out had the gf not totaled the car a week later. I think they were $45 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidward Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Running a set in my truck right now. Fit perfect and project a little better than stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buelliganx1 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Got a set of headlights for my grand cherokee off of Amazon for something like $88 and thats for headlights sidemarkers and turn signals bulbs and all, they worked great and fit perfect. Also bought a set of newer lights for my ford truck and those fit great and work perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 What kind of car is it? maybe someone has a set or has a hook up at a dealership for OEM's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Id do it. I bought the cheapy 69 dollar ones from 50resto for my old fox, and they were really nice. I added some silicone to be sure they would not leak, but that was just for piece of mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallion Motorsports1647545491 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Thanks everyone, its for a 2004 accord, i don't see the dealer being a cheaper option unless someone has a big hook. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FyrhzrdGT Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I have taiwanese Depos on my Mercedes, they look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDHG940 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Tom I run them in my GT and notch, both are nice. You can feel they are cheaper and thinner than the factory ones but both have been good. Havent had any issues with leaks or moisture getting into them and have ran them for going on 2 years now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyster101 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I bought some ebays for $50 a set with lights back in 2002 and they sucked. They fit ok, but were dim as hell. Sounds like others have had better experience. I would go with Amazon, then you can return them if you have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleskate Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Thanks everyone, its for a 2004 accord, i don't see the dealer being a cheaper option unless someone has a big hook. Tom I bought ebay replacement's for my buddy's birthday for his 2005 Accord Coupe which had the typical Honda fade/clearcoat destruction. They look/fit exactly like OEM.
