Have any one Installed Ebay Kouki headlights before?

[T_wei]

Just wondering if the ebay kouki head lights for $240 a pair is worth considering. Have anyone installed them before?

If you are doing this to "upgrade" your stock kouki headlights...DONT. Why fuck up a good thing? Glass headlights for plastic headlights, YOUR DOING IT WRONG!!!

If you dont have any, then I'd suggest saving your money and buying the real thing.

glass for plastic

projector for reflectors

new headlights are around $600 a pair

u can probably get a used set for 2/3rds that

the ebay ones are what, $200?

you're only saving a couple hundred, if that

[projectRDM]

New headlights through a jobber account are like $460.

Being cheap is the ghey.

[hOngsterr]

haha dont waste your time man.
quality!
save up!

[ReLiC]

I've seen them go for about $300-400 here on zilvia. Just save some more and keep a look out for a good deal.

They will end up cracking or the seal will go bad and you will eventually have fogged up lights whenever it rains.

No, i didn't buy ebay lights. Just seen enough ricers putting them on there car and laugh every time i see fogged lights on them.

[jbuckley]

i think the ebay rice style kouki headlights are way fucking cooler than the oem projector boring as fuck lights

I'm all for cheaper alternitves in the auto industry, as long as they do what they are intended to do. But ebay lights are straight crap.

Go ahead. Rock em for all i care, its your car.

Ill be the one laughing at you when i drive past you.

[VQMaxFan]

id assume the output pattern on the ebay lights suck ass as most of them do

[aNskY]

^ holy shit i am in someones sig!! :D


and actually i DO care about cheap headlights... it's your car, but it's my vision you are impeding with those cheap shit lights. (they always shine right in oncoming drivers' eyes) same goes for cheap HID kits. fuck that.

If you're trying to stay away from projectors, the vertex headlights are a much better alternative. I've never tried them, but i'm sure their quality is better than ebay.

Just noticed the sarcasm. lol. But i'll keep it there to show op an alternative.

[aNskY]

^ im pretty sure he was being sarcastic

whats the difference between the USDM and JDM? just the lamp size?

Jspec projector is larger and light direction is set up for Japans left side driving roads

[SochBAT]

edit: lol i just realised you have already pmed me about these

[projectRDM]

Jspec projector is larger and light direction is set up for Japans left side driving roads

And you can aim the bulbs independently of each other, instead of both as one unit.

die

same garbage, inferior quality.


whats the difference between the USDM and JDM? just the lamp size?

us uses 9005 high beam bulb
japan uses bullshit h3 bulb

that alone makes the us-spec headlights superior in EVERY way


Jspec projector is larger and light direction is set up for Japans left side driving roads

correct, but regardless of projector differences the us-spec lights are still superior


o no im doing a kouki conversion. The ebay ones can lower my budget a lot

if a few hundred make that much of a difference, you may want to leave your car stock and not play. modifying cars with the big boys requires something called money, lots of it.

[ayuaddict]

i think that shit looks cool.

and plastic lenses are just fine.

[Johny5]

lol 2 fucking retards in this thread whining about how he should "STICK WITH OEM, RETAIN QUALITY~!!!!!" ... run those dumbass led kouki style rear taillights. news flash...those things are ugly as shit

[OptionZero]

oem tails are plastic
led tails are plastic

the only differences is aesthetics, which are subjective

you sacrifice more going from oem headlights to the ebay plastic reflectors

and one could easily say those are ugly as well
i think they make the front look like a 94-97 accord
