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 Greyhound in FL

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
Now that info is definitely need to know and I have verified the numbers as
08v31-s6m-211 so it checks out from what I see so far. Thanks! Greyhound
I installed a set of factory lights in my '05 RSX and while it took some time, the kit was absolutely complete down to the necessary cable ties. I can't imagine a clone having the wiring harnesses that the Acura kit had. I bought my kit from here:
