need to replace hl, anybody have problems w seals or glass on aftermarket?

 

Cant really comment on aftermarket (havent bought any) but others have without complaint. If your going to go OEM get it from here. Its going to be cheaper

I bought one off ebay for around $90 shipping included. I havent had any more moisture problems. Only thing is one looks brighter because of the slight oxidation on the old light.

 

OEM=leaks in 4 or 5 years (maybe never but our seem to let moisture in)
aftermarket=leaks in a few weeks.

worked on a guys rsx and he had aftermarket blacked out head lamps and had silicone all along the edges with like 300 miles on em.

 

Mine have never leaked, been on close to 2 years I believe. It really depends on the set you receive. Mine were $220 IIRC and the quality was as good as OEM.

There are far more aftermarket choices for an RSX than a TL, so the competition is higher and product quality goes down for costs. I'm not surprised some aftermarket RSX lights leaked.

 

thats funny... my original headlights are 10 years old.. no leaks... one of them even survived a front end collision
also.. the depo lights i bought were left half dipped in water for 2 hours and not one drop got through.. dont see how 2-3 weeks of use would just make them leak all the sudden.

 

Just purchased two OEM headlights on fleabay and the dealer is kind enought that he will check them out and make sure they will work and then will install both for a grand total of 110 each for a grand total of 220 plus tx? this dealer is great here in san antonio
I have purchased two sylvania hid D2R bulbs thru auto advance for 137 each and he will put them in while doing the headlights for no charge...................
