Anybody else looked at these?

I just happened across these headlights on eBay today. I remember alot of members on here talking about how the 'only' way to get a black housing on a 2G TL was to DIY on your factory lights. $250 seems like an awful lot of money to drop on what could be a low quality part. Anybody ordered a set yet? Opinions about the quality?

junk...

can't believe they'll just add JDM to the title and people fall for it and buy it..

probably DEPO headlights.. opened up.. cleared + painted and sold.

imo.. if i was super desperate for that clear diffuser.. then i would buy it.. only to break it open and use the clear diffuser on my own headlight

can they legally sell it calling it JDM? the JDM headlights at least had the "city" lights and these ebay knockoffs do not.

if you want that look just order a set of depo and open it up do it yourself. atleast then you would be proud of the work as you had done it yourself.

plus if you screw up, who cares it was a good experiment and you didnt damage your original lights but $250 for this is not worth it. if it had the halo's or the lenses installed then yea cause they are a bitch to get right

not worth my money. just DIY. only thing i like from what they did was the clear diffuser. they didn't black out the turn signal bulb area and they didn't remove that silver lining near the edges. look closely near the bottom of the headlight and you'll see "DEPO"

NOT JDM!

if anything...

put the depo on your car.. then mod the OEM one..

OEM light output and cut off line > Depo

i hated my depo headlight at the time..

Hey those are DEPO.... those are pretty good to me. It not the money thats the problem, its the time. I have NO time to work on my car...

I could just get these and they have the clear diffuser.. and then work on my OEM ones and then sell those to make back half my money....
