Headlight assembly replacement
Hi,
I am looking to replace the headlight assemblies for my 2003 Honda Civic EX 4D Sedan. I am in US. I cannot afford to buy original Honda headlight assemblies due to their high price. What is a more economical option? Both of the headlight assemblies are leaking water into them so I have to replace them. If anyone knows about any aftermarket part that would fit nearly as good as the original part and would come at a lower price, please help me with the link. Thank you.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Check amazon?
Know anyone who works in a bodyshop? They usually have sources for decent aftermarket replacement parts.
In the meantime......you could drill a hole in the bottom of each housing to let the water OUT

Amazon. Known good quality is TYC brand. I have had good luck with my "eagle eye" branded units in my wifes ford. They have been on the car for 1.5 years and are still very clear.
Stay away from all projector style replacement units. They are generally low quality with poor beam patterns and inferior UV protection on the lenses.

Re: Headlight assembly replacement
I'm rocking some OEM-spec replacements from k2motor.com (bought on ebay). Granted, I bought them to retrofit HIDs into, but quality-wise, they're great. Click the "her baby blues" link in my sig if you wanna see 'em. Been rocking 'em since february with no issues; they've seen rain, high wind, dust storms, heat (natural heat and 180F concentrated oven heat), relative cold (mid 30s) without any fogging, leaking, or other damage to the front lenses.

You said leaking water. Did you make sure the headlamp bulbs are properly installed? Seen many time people install own headlight and either not installed correctly or the rubber seal is pushed out not sealing. Just a thought.
