Don't bother - I love the way ebay sellers list items and make you hunt thru descriptions. Why can't they just be straight up and tell you this is not an original factory / manufacturer part.

It has LCI like styling but says fits on pre-lci... So, my recommendation is to buy them, install, and give feedback on the forums. Take one for the team! (One of mine is jacked too, been looking for a replacement for almost a year!) Doo eeet!

I think if you need headlights, you should go for this. The reason I say this because it has the CCFL Angel eyes installed and the clear corners. So you are getting the best of both worlds for not as expensive. Considering modding the headlight is like $700 from luis. Euro headlights are like $700 themselves (for US people i mean).


Go for it!! I'm sure u'll be fine.
