Fake vs Real Ikon headlights
Anyone know the differences between fake and real ikons? I won’t my small claims court and defendant owes me a new headlight. He got it today supposedly from “dealership” but I wanted to double make sure. I will be going to see it tomorrow before dismissing the case. Thank you!

The headlight modules on the authentic headlight are much different than fake version.

Also, if you were able to turn them on, the OEM low beam is on the top half of the headlight. Fake headlights have it on the bottom. Both low and high beams are flipped on fake headlights. Not sure of other dead giveaways but as the poster above stated, OEM modules are different from fake modules. Good luck.

The replica ones on the market seem to use G30 DRLs. They look different and aren't as angular as F3X/F8X DRLs.
