Yeah dont think their oem ones man, and about passing vehicle inspection yeah they'll pass. I passed RWC in diy black housings. As long as you got stock lights on and your sweet.

I believe it is just the black inner housing.

yeah and that doesn't affect the lighting at all, just cosmetics.

That is a really nice replica... Most sellers will just get black housing ones. But these actually look shadow chrome.

Honda ones should also have STANLEY printed on the lens as well.

Even got proper headlight adjustments like it comes on a honda D:

So general consensus is that he's pulling my leg when he saying their OEM ek9 ones

Is it just me or are the headlight adjusters and that adjusting screw next to parker is just plastic not metal?

Another give away is that the fake one has the 'shield/cover' around the bulb where as the OEM ones dont. (included a pic for reference)

They are probably the best looking replica's i've seen though.

This, i'm pretty much amazed, it can surely fool me and a lot of people from afar.

nobbs, are you sure about the shield/cover around the bulbs are fake headlights? Mine are genuine headlights yet they have that shield around it.

Genuine Ek9 doesnt have the reflector around the bulb and inside is slight dark in colour compared to normal headlights which you can't tell.

All genuine honda headlights have that reflector. But the genuine EK9 one doesn't.

Yep, all genuine EK9 headlights do not have the reflector/shield/cover around the bulb.

actually they do have the reflector arounnd the bulb, but its actually part of the OEM HID's not on the headlight.

I know this cos I still have the OEM EK9 HID's from my old EK9 headlights lol

The reflector is part of the HID not the headlight; so if your headlight has a reflector on it when there is no bulb then its safe to say its fake.
