RSX Headlights worth the money?

[Dj Blaze]

I need some new headlights for my RSX Type-S but dont want to go to the dealer to get em cuz they are too expensive. I saw some on ebay such as these:

What do you guys think? Will they be ok or are they not worth the money? Any recommendations would be GReAT!!!!

Fit and finish may not be up to Acura standards. You may also want to check the lamps and their output.

From the many reviews i've read, fitment isn't a problem at all. However, the install looks like it is a real pain, also, you need to get H3 bulbs (should come with the headlights) as opposed to the stock H1's. You might want to consider the H3 Hid's for them so you can get the lights to be a lot brighter, unless you are in the USA where they are now illegal. Also, you can get the JDM headlights.

But i mean it would look ok, right? And new H3 bulbs should be less than $30, right? I heard something about the headlights leaking?

Yeah, I think they would look good, and H3's should come with the lights themselves...HID's will be extra however (if you wanna risk legality if you are in the states). The leaking (condensation) I am not sure about and depends on the install I guess. ClubRSX is also selling them at a clearance price (brand new). www.clubrsx.com

True HID's properly installed do not pose any problems. Using JDM lights in a USDM car the lights are oriented to driving on the opposite side of the road. JDM lights don't have enough adjustment in them to take them to the correct orientation for driving here or in other countries that drive on the right. The driver's side light will be pointed more toward the center and oncoming lane than ours is. If you look at the light pattern from the cars (JDM and USDM) you will see the difference. The driver's side light doesn't shine as high or as far up the road as the passenger side. (All the better to see deer, moose, other big stuff off the right side of the road).
