    Question denji headlights... real or fake?

    So i got these headlights this past weekend. Im not sure if they are real or replicas but based on what i have researched, they seem real. Anyone on here know any more info on these? And are they as rare as people say?

    Yeah i saw those on there, all brand new.

    The ones i have are made of glass, have no grooves over the projectors, and say denji like the real ones do. So im guessing they are real lol unless theres something else i missed?

    Technically speaking, since the "EG" chassis never had the projector option I would venture to say "replica" but since these re obviously aftermarket I haven't a clue.

    They arent oem and didnt come on any eg chasis, they are made by a company in taiwan called denji. Real denji headlight go for a lot, but there has been companies making knock offs. Thats why im asking in they are real deal denji headlights or just know offs.

    they are real Denjis. there are many different variations of them as they were made different throughout the years. the chrome housing ones with the blue projectors are the final production run... the ones you have now are the earlier versions. they made both in glass AND plastic housings, it was simply an option when purchasing. also, both have shit projectors LOL.. retrofit is a big thing with these headlights.

    Sweet! Thanks for the info dude. I have read about the shitty projectors and bulbs. I might have to retrofit them if they are that bad
