WTF? JDM/Asia Black Chrome Headlights

OK stumbled on these while roaming EBAY.... says hes sold 3 pairs... obviously not REAL OEM, right?

But dare I say it..... more manufacturers are looking into producing AFTERMARKET parts for our cars?

HMMMM might not necessarily be a bad thing. I know its a long shot, but does anyone have any experience with these :

wonder how good the quality is?

Doesn't look right, does it.

No JDM Acura. Only Asia market (afaik) is the CDM TL. Wonder if the came from a Saber or Inspire or something????

And it needs '03 Acura back covers.

It also says for the '04 - '07, but looks like an '04 - '06 type light (Fogs with the headlight).

+1

I did some more research and found out that the first batch of headlights produced for the Chinese TL were all recalled, same way as infiniti recalled first batch of projector G35 headlights due to safety issues. CDM TL owners that had the recalled headlights were asked to bring the car in for replacement, after the replacement the old headlights were suppose to be all destroyed, USDM infinti dealers were told the same thing, but it seems like the some of the "suppose to be destroyed" headlights made it state side, just like how some of the infiniti headlights and headlight parts made it to ebay.

hope im not too late but i can attest to these on a first hand basis.

whether or not they are real.. i dont know.

but i was in asia over the summer and HAVE SEEN these in china and a very rare one in TL (rare meaning they dont have acuras over there)
china had tons of buicks/ford/etc...a lot of cheap cars basically.

That is good to know and see that there are different headlight options for the 04-06.

Maybe there will be more clear diffusers popping up for you all since I know that is a hot product among all of you right now.

$275 is cheap too. New these lights would cost about the same as usdm ones plus shipping and exchange rate costs.
