    If all you are looking for is looks, you have the right product. And yes, you have the right to your personal opinion.

    Thanks crashnburn80 for saving me time and money. The ultimate headlight upgrade thread is gold.

    Hello, I have combed through posts for about an hour. I understand the upgraded oems are best. I simply do not have the time to do that. However it doesn't seem the morimotos have a headlight for an 09. Are the axials any good? I know now alpha rexx are garbage.

    Any aftermarket headlight for an early 2nd Gen will be a downgrade. If you absolutely cannot afford OEM, and your OEM lights are not in a condition that can be refinished, then look for assemblies that look like OEM. Not great, but will likely be significantly better than those that look different than OEM. While I don't condone these aftermarket brands and would recommend OEM, Depo and TYC are common aftermarket OEM style lights that are popular.
