    Default ebay headlights

    my stock headlights on my 98 accord have seen better days, so i'm ordering some new ones on ebay

    i want the black housing "angel eye" headlights but there's so many different brands on there for the same price and i dont know whats quality and whats not

    budget is 140, just looking for some that look decent and dont leak. anyone ordered some yet?

    More than likely they are all going to leak. I had TYC (The most popular brand of aftermarket lights) projectors and they leaked. so its a toss up.

    ^^^that what you should do, but if I were you I wouldn't buy the projector wanna be the light output is horrible. just go with some black housings everyone loves those


    ...especially when you put retros in them
