Sorry if it came out rude, but that's the term I use when I see replaced oem parts with cheap ebay parts on a car. They look nice, but quality is horrible. Oh and not really feelin the taillights

those are my taillights, you're correct. I dont really like them too much, but those are NOT by headlights they look similar but i have posted the link for MY headlights.

2006-2008 Civic Black Projector Headlights for Civics (my low beam lens isn't blue, that looks really cheap on the ebay one)

the ones you showed me on ebay are horrendous!!! i would never put the ebay headlights on my car. you can't see in these photos, but they are different! Very different, mine look great in the light, these here on ebay are just cheap and lousy looking.

The only problem with your headlights are that they fog up at cold temperatures because moisture builds up in them due to the poor sealant the manufacturers used to seal the clear housing to the black housing. All you basically have to do is reseal them and you'll be all right!

these look the exact same!!

the thing is, i paid about $300 for them from Procivic.com and they have really good deals on other things that i've bought. They have never fogged before and it gets pretty cold in the bay area

They will eventually. Happened to me and a lot of people on this forum... I thought every thing was all fine for the first couple of months then it started to fog up at night! which made me switch back to stock.

I like them, ebay or not. Keep us posted how they are as time goes on. Better option if you don't want to dump tons of cash on retros.
