I'm going to be completely honest here so just warning in case butt hurt occurs.

I would NOT get any aftermarket lenses for any vehicle I own for a few reasons. 1) They usually tend to leak like Niagra Falls. 2) The fitment is usually piss poor and you'll end up cursing A LOT trying to get them to fit somewhat decent 3) They are typically 99% of the time made of cheap materals which leads to bizarre light patterns either blinding other drivers or not allowing you to see shit at all.

Just my 2 cents.

I agree with COTahoe... my projector headlights came in and although i did like them after i installed them and got everything hooked up, they are very cheap. Mine were made in Taiwan and were made of crappy plastic. I would try and look for some good headlights that cost a little bit more and are made of better materials

If you are looking for aftermarket lights quality definitely is a good thing to go for. Although sometimes you can get lucky on ebay I would say most of the headlights on ebay aren't that great. If you are looking to buy HID headlights, everything I've heard about these they are worth the buy. They are also $400 though. I personally feel they are the best looking ones out there. I am not a fan of the halo rings like in the ones you linked and like most of the ones on ebay. These have the projectors as needed but without the halos. Best looking ones out there IMO and street legal which is probably why they are more money.

What about this 37-4520?

Is this along the same lines as the headlights on ebay, or would you say this is of better quality?

i have ebay projectors in my civic, no problems at all, just ordered a set for my yukon, they're fine as long as, when you get em, you bake them, take the lenses off and re-seal them.

the fitment on my civic was perfect, they are very very nice, and improve the look of the vehicle huge IMO.

here's my civic
