Recently purchased the c-west front for my 96 black civic. However with the body repairs i also need new headlights. Im thinking either black housing or the clear. What do u think and also where is a good place ti purchase them at thats not to expensive. Say under 200? I need them by about Wed or Thursday next week at the latest so if u know somewhere that would be great.

I went on e-bay and got me a pair of CF angel eye projector headlights.... for 220 shipped. Not bad, works well, lighting is perfect, angel eyes are ncie and bright (well.. at night..) and they've already been sealed from the distributor. I was expecting it to leak.. but no problems so far.

I wouldn't suggest buying anything from creverything, they tried to screw me out of an intake, and a friend of mine out of some taillights. They told the BBB that they never charged the card and that is why they never shipped them...thats why I had $190.90 taken out of my account...doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure that one out :no:

they are Tenzo so they should be pretty good. you could always just run the silicon around the edge when you get em. They have to be better than APCrap.

oc what brand are your lights? they look nice. If they continue to leak try the silicon...if not I'll take em off your hands for $20;)
