They're not the same. Acura owns the patent on the OEM ones and if another manufacture makes them they can make something similar but not the same. That's why aftermarket replica parts never fit quite right, they're always a bit off because the replica companies make their parts CM/milimeters off to not violate patent laws. JnC probably the best head/tail light modifier on here will attest to the difference in quality between OEM and replica.
