at @250$ a piece from the dealer, those AMs are less than half the price of new OEM headlights. the ebay ones are coming from china. who knows how long their "free int'l shipping" takes. GL

 

If the copies are DOT and you don't mind waiting for a potentially leaky, foggy, poorly fitting light, do it up.

 

If I was you I'd try to find an OEM headlight in the classifieds. The china lenses will yellow a lot faster than OEM because the quality of the plastic is not on par with OEM. They may look fine for awhile but you really get what you pay for.

I was in the market for a new headlight and I found a slightly used OEM on here for the same price as ebay....and it got here in a few days instead of a month or so.

This .net member is in the process of a rebuild and used eBay headlights. He says they fit good:cruising:

 

I didn't see anything about fit, but do the reflectors melt easily?

 

I've always wondered on fitment on aftermarket headlights too. Wish honda would've made stronger mounting tabs on the headlights. I'd rather just figure out how to make my oem one work.

 

From what I've read the fitment is extremely close to OEM if not exact. They are basically Chinese copies just like the fairings that are sold on eBay. They should fit just fine but the plastic used to manufacture will be cheaper than OEM. You can expect the clear lenses to yellow a lot faster than OEM.

 

Lights arrived today. Ive never installed lights on my bike, it never came with them...

Took a while to route the wiring and work out what to put on when. More to the point the quality

first time ive seen headlights on my bike, nice:banger:

 

let us know how the last... the reflector seems a bit different then oem

 

unfortunately, had to send these ones back. As i discoverd they point in the wrong direction.. They seem to aim the beam toward the right hand side rather than the left hand side for us Aussie riders.

Any one had a similar experience? Not sure what the oem lights produce, i assume there's a difference in beam direction per left hand/right hand traffic

 

Always OEM if you have the cash. Some after market Kits look good and fit but they are based off the OEM. So the clone will never be as good as the original.

But the only downside to OEM is usually it costs more but usually that's because it has a better fit and finish.

So again if you have the funds find OEM but if you don't nothing wrong with aftermarket stuff just don't expect it to fit exactly right or last as long as OEM. (in most cases)

my aftermarket headlights fit good but did not project the light for sh*t. Although it may have had something to do with the fact that they had a light tint. but i installed a 6k hid kit that solved that problems. and they look sick tinted. ;]
