dont get them! they may look good, but the fitment wont be tthe greatest.. ive been through ebay "style" headlights, blacked out, they look great, but when they start to not line up with holes and leaves gaps with the bumper it sucks. plus mine didnt have a crank on the back to point the headlights so i was forced to drive around as if i had my brights on.. i hardly saw any of the road. its so much easier to bake your own headlights clean them up inside and spray the inside black. and get spray tint for your tails.. TRUST ME!

you must have just been really unlucky. Many people buy lights off of ebay with no fitment problems. Are you sure you were looking for the right thing when you were looking for an adjustment "crank"? There are screws on the back that when you turn them the beam adjusts.
1. On my old Civic I bought "Si style" taillights on ebay. They fit perfectly.
2. On my Del Sol, I have "Black JDM Style" headlights. They fit perfectly, and they definitely have adjusting screws on the back.
3. I have ebay "Black JDM Style" foglights on my Del Sol too. They fit perfectly.

nike, why not go to the local junkyard and buy an extra set of heads/tails? I don't think your dad would object to modifying a cheap extra set of headlights, and you'd still have oem quality and fitment, something you rarely get with ebay items.

honestly, I have no clue... I'd just call up some local junkyards and ask for prices... if they want too much, look around for people parting out cars (there's usually a ton of part-outs over on Honda Tech). Usually when people are parting out, they sell for what the part is actually worth
