They're actually really good headlights. I have them for two years now and they've been through two NY winters and they've held up extremely good. I'm actually surprised on how good those headlights turned out to be, especially for the price. If you want to see them on a car, go to my profile and I have a couple of pics of them on my car.

Can you use the original HID's with these ebay headlights or do you need to get aftermarket HID's as well?

Yes you can use the factory HID's with these headlights. No modifications needed for these headlights, just install them and you're ready to go.

They look very nice. Question if I may,I noticed the turn signals are clear however are the bulbs amber? Also what color is the sidelights when turned on position 1 on the stalk?

Thanks,

Get some stealth bulbs so you don't have the "yolk" look.

if your're referring to the fishcake ones on ebay you can use your original HIDs but you can't swap the projectors. the ones it comes with are okay but the OEMs are definitely better. i ended up opening up both sets and swapped the housings so I could have the clear corners with the OEM projectors.

Japanese cars are right hand drive, so headlights would glare oncoming traffic if used in USA.

Thanks for the clarification. You mean the projectors?
