Archived from groups: alt>autos>acura (more info?)
I'm looking at installing foglights in my 2005 Acura RSX. Factory can be had
for about $280 while the E-bay clones for around $100 uninstalled. Any
opinions on the quality difference?
Thanks

Aftermarket will be dismal quality compared to OEM.

Provided the dealer-sold lamps are actually FACTORY and not just some
dealer-sold aftermarket puffery, it's worth the extra cost to use OEM.

However, many dealers sell aftermarket accessories. Doesn't make them any
better quality. Ask your dealer for the official *Honda* part number of
their fog lamps. Report that here.

By the way, genuine Honda OEM part numbers will be in this format:
xxxxx-xxx-xxx
where the first five positions are numbers, the next three will be two
letters and a number (or 3 letters), and the final three are usually
three numbers, or one letter and two numbers.
Examples:
15400-PLM-A02
22910-SK7-A02
90173-SR3-003
