Default ebay vs. authentic jdm foggies

Anyone have any experience with the ebay knock off jdm style fog lights? I'm in the market for a pair, and if i don't come around an original set, i might go the ebay route. So if anyone has purchased and used, or know someone that has, feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks

the ebay ones are good.. they are exactly like oem and have the full wiring harness, switches, bulbs, mounting.. that is a cheap alternative to having somewhat close to honda's manufactured ones

Ehh, i haven't had any experience with the jdm fogs, but i will say that the clear corner turn signals for 89-91 crx DO NOT fit very well they hang off. We were able to make them look fairly decent after awhile.

I have a set of ebay Fog's in my car, like said above, they come with everything, wires, wire loom, the stock zip ties (not the ones from discount, the stock zips) even an oem switch. No problems with mine so far. Good luck to you. -Ben

Thanks to all that have replied, your feedback is appreciated. rep given to all. If i end up keeping my ej coupe i'll be going the ebay route. Ben, do you have the yellow vinyl'd fogs? or just white ones? If so the yellow, does the tint appear to be cheap or nicely layed out?
