"OEM" fog lights from ebay

"OEM" Ebay Fog Lights

For a price of around $30 shipped, it seems too good to be true. Is it worth getting them off ebay or would you not recomend it. I know I'm gonna hear "you get what you pay for. But I wasn't sure if anyone already had them. Thanks!

Not really, I just bought it and the quality is jsut like other replicas that costed 100$ a year ago, if not like oem that cost 350$ still.

They have over stock, that is why the price drop.

you get what you pay for, that being said get some headlight film and coat the lenses. The ebay ones brake really easily so this might give it more strength but for $30 you cant go wrong.. If you want a better switch just get the OEM one from the dealer Or rewire your DLR or parking to fogs, looks really clean and you will always have them on.

oh oh,

the switch from ebay is fine.

I part the switch out and inside it is just a PCB, one push switch and 2 bulb. Nothing fancy so do not pay Honda for this kind of super easy circuit! You can even change the bulb to whatever color LED, and resolder anything you don't like. Again, there is no active part inside (ICs) so there is nothing to worry.

Anyone need DIY??

They are really easy to install, Good Luck getting the switch to work. I would get the OE ones over the OEM, but thats just me. BTW anyone have a wiring diagram upto the switch? My switch was faulty, and I need to make a wiring harness, for a factory switch.
