It looks pretty nice to me. The problem is the projector might not be up to par with OEM.

 

3M headlight restoration kit at Autozone, $20 and a couple hours later with a drill and your headlights will look brand new and work just as good too

 

The home kits only work for a little bit, and then wind up looking worse a few weeks later.

I took my 2002 to a body shop and had them sand down the lights, polish them, and clear-coat them for $100. I was VERY happy with the result. After a month, they still look brand new.

 

To anyone complaining saying their headlights look bad after a few weeks after doing the restoration process, go get them clear coated at a local body shop. You won't even really be able to tell they have a clear, and it will prevent them from hazing up again. This way you will also be able to just wax them and make them look brand new again no problem. I know in a couple of the last 5 threads about these headlights there was an argument about people saying they just haze up after a short while, so clear coating would solve the problem.

Also usually with cheaper aftermarket headlights, they will end up getting moisture in them and you will have to tear them apart, clean, then re-seal them. Even then later on the lenses will also just haze up, so I don't see how this is a good alternative since they are so expensive, and i'm betting the projectors arent up to par with our OEM ones either.

AP1 headlights restored with clearcoat > Cheap looking ricey aftermarket headlights that arent up to par with OEM that will also just have this problem later on, and are decently expensive.

 

So this is what the THIRD 'new' headlights of ebay.... uke:

I think they are the best looking out of all three but you sacrificing alot of quality moving to those, unless you NEED new ones cuz you screwed your old ones, than go for it, i'd be interested to see the results.

 

use the turtle wax restore kit, had my headlights looking at least 100x better in under 30 minutes

or if you want to get rid of your headlights for a good price, lmk

Found these, they look better that the first post

 

Meh if your gunna do it, at that point its all personal taste. I would have taken the blue ones over those but they have those two stupid lights on the the top.

To each there own, if someone DOES go through with it, lets see it. And if you do, get next to another s2k and lets see comparison shots.

This SHOULD really be investigated.

 

The light output and cutoff will not be as precise as OEM.

My previous TSX had ebay headlights when I purchased it and even though it looked better and function fine I didn't like the cutoff of the HID. Switched back to the OEM headlights and what a difference it makes with the light output.

 

Wow, these aren't bad...
