    My sister smacked into my truck and I decided to fix it myself with the insurance money. I figured why not update my 05 a bit and do some smoke headlighta, and newer style honeycomb grill. So here's my dilemma, two different types of headlights ordered two different color bezels. The ones with the gray bezels are a little bit more expensive but definitely a much better quality. Which ones would you guys choose?ImageUploadedByTapatalk1420241393.149055.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1420241407.167273.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1420241417.205141.jpg

    Wow, surprised no one has an opinion. I went with the lighter smoke color, CAPA certified and felt much more like oem.

    I have been thinking about upgrading my headlights and those look good! What brand/model are they? How do you like them? Any pics of them on your rig yet?

    I think so too. I bought a set of DEPO LED taillights to dress it up too.

    I have been looking at replacing my headlights as well. From what I have read and my experience with aftermarket lights I will stick with OEM. After market ones wont last long before they fade or end up with condensation in them.

    I wanted OEM's too, but they were alot more $$$, and very hard to come by in the smoke style second hand, so i took the gamble on the DEPO's. They have been well reviewed everywhere I researched them. And they seemed very well sealed, trust me when i tell you i looked them over with a fine tooth comb before i decided to keep them

    I used depo for a civic headlight I destroyed. Seemed to be the same quality as my oem the couple years I had it after that. This was in 2004 so I think they are pretty reputable and aren't going anywhere.
