I have read a few threads on buying different types of headlights butt nobody really answered with anything besides ebay or :

http://www.advancedjdmparts.com/home.php?cat=437

But, I have a dark blue car and I am going to do a gunmetal gray or a graphite color as an accent maybe even a black.

I am leaning towards the black headlights with HID's.

IF ANYBODY HAS ANY PICS OF CLEAR/BLACK HEADLIGHTS ON DARK BLUE CAR pleas post them. I will try to take a few pics when I get home or try to find a pic of a car the same color.

My headlights are completely shot and I don't want to drive it at night because they are soo dim and the driver side shakes soo badly.

Is that something that can be photoshopped???

Also is there anywhere else to get headlights? There has got to be more sites than the two above.

Thanks again,
Ryan

clears look better unless you have a black car then you can get the all black headlights. Umm go to ebay the have these diamond ones that are like 155. I heard (havent done any research about it yet) that JDM's dont work with HID. I dont see why they dont but i dont know, deff go with the clears =)

I want to get the black head lights for my car. I have navy blue metallic, but I already have a darker theme going for my car. Black rims, and the tint.

Anywhere else to get headlights though? i don't wanna pay $50+ for shipping when I know it doesn't cost that much. Or is ebay the only place to really get aftermarket headlights?

Ed sells new ones that claim to have a good warranty. I need to ask him about them myself.

There are other places, but I don't remember there being a big price difference. Two full headlight assemblies would result in a rather big and a bit of a weighty box, so $50 isn't too exorbitant.

It is a bit much, though.

I was looking for places to get black headlights when they first came out for the GP and were sold out practically everywhere. eBay was the best.

I notice most of the headlight/cornering light assemblies on Ebay seem to run about $200 or so: headlights You either pay more for the part, or the shipping. Seems to be no getting around it, unless you buy the cheaper replacement stuff. Good luck, and I hope you find something you're happy with! cheers
