i've been looking around a lot and cant find a single place that sells after market headlights and taillight. you can only buy oem.
not even depo brand.

has any body ever bought them? any links?

 

Nope, I've looked, if anybody knows otherwise, post up. Have you tried car-part.com for used parts?

 

Nope.
I hear you may be able to mod accord lights to fit. Again I only heard this.

 

Ive searched and searched looking for some sort of replacement other then OEM, but thats all we've got

 

thats bullshit.

 

I like our oem heads/tails.

 

It would be nice to have something from Depo (which are usually OEM style replacements). Theyre cheap and would be better for modding.

 

Still waiting on jacob

 

 

ive spent countless hrs looking for some aftermarket ones when i needed them. found some oem head lights on ebay for dirt cheap. but rear was oem and cost more then what i got both front ones for.

ive seen someone on the bm selling some 03 tails for fairly cheap

 

Even if there was an aftermarket part, you'd have to reinforce the seal to stop moisture from coming in. Why not just find something used and have it cleaned up and cleared? Or tinted.

 

The reason I would buy them would be for retrofits, so Im replacing the seal with my own butyl.

 

havent heard any of the tl owners complaining about aftermarket headlights. but i know that the light output on on the tl aftermarket headlights is diff. u can tell when one is oem and one is depo

 

The reason why whne u need something immediately, or for some one who doesn't really care if its oem, aftermarket parts are readily available.
For our cars, u have to look for the lights everywhere and usually they're not available easily.

 

got depo's on my TL, and the light pattern they put out suck ass

even then they f***ing suck in an accident, the outside lense stays fully intact (minus the indent in it from the reciever hitch) and pushes the whole housing back, so you bend the radiater support instead of it shattering (and if you think it is good that the lense stayed intact, the light was completely useless afterwards anyways, cause the whole reflector and back houseing where cracked/shattered)

 

, why do you think i went and bought OEM ones for replacements (has hotspots)

 

I wouldnt be using the stock reflectors if I got Depos for modding.

 

i did highlight thtat part in the qoute

but then again i would be worried about that outside lense staying intact though
also what about the lense itself not being as good/clear as the OEM one

 

If they are that bad (which I havent heard many complaints about them), Ill make new lenses.
