HID's should fix the spottyness though right?

I have them and do not recommend them. The build quality itself seems pretty good, but the reflector causes the beam pattern to be very off, and safety is something you don't want to be messing with.

I've also had the tails (the fake CF ones, before the black ones came out). The quality of the tails actually weren't bad at all, if thats your style. The factory seal was fine on them, unlike the corners. Only thing weird about the tails is that the blinker is on the inside of the brakelight, rather than outside as expected, and the bulb for the reverse light is completely exposed, so it sticks out like a thumb, (like they do with clear corners).

there are actually two different types of JDM headlights for sale on Ebay both claiming to have OEM quality. the first link i put on seems to be a bit more reliable.

First (and hopefully better) headlight

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-03-TO ... 8689QQrdZ1


and Second

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-03-TO ... 3379QQrdZ1

any comments on the both of these?

I agree the beam pattern is bit weird. But it's not bad as long as you aim them properly. Besides, I like black housed headlight's look a lot better than OEM.
I am not really into tail light...... It really makes us look like honda driver.
I think gen 1 OEM tail light is the best.
