they're in GREAT CONDITION! I'm so happy I can't wait untill install them. Right now I'm in the process of cleaning the filthy residue.

My second JDM set is up for sale. They're in great condition, I opened them up to clean them (will let you close them). They have small cracks in the corners that can be fixed with a little creativity and the passenger light had 2 broken mounting tabs that I fixed with some 9007 . The only things that are not included are the corner bulbs and fog light bulbs but the yellow globe diffusers are still there. I'm willing to let these go cheap but please PM with reasonable offers.

This is before cleaning:

JDMs have a dual high-low beam H4 bulb driving lights. Therefore they also have medially yellow foglamps that USDMs don't have. They still have turn signals, without amber. Most compelling difference is the much cleaner 1-piece look. Lots of people custom their bulbs to HID or paint the bezels, etc., it's up to you to define your own look.

Could someone clear up this for me? Why are JDM one piece lights better then USDM 2 piece ones? Far as I can tell they look somewhat alike? Is there a better beam pattern or projected?? What's better about them? Thanks.. still a newb..
Just bc the design of one part (no separate corner lamp) and a much better beam pattern. We have many members who have installed those nics JDM's. But you're right: IMO USDM's are the best ever ;) ! -Mike

How much do these JDM's generally go for?

And how much are they generally worth in good condition?

I'm looking to buy some but don't know whats a good price for 'em...
I'll trade you mine for your Euro Spec headlights :2cool:

The price for the KA8 JDM lights is 200+ shipping FIRM. I paid $500 for (2)sets. I did NOT get these for FREE so please don't ask me to lower price. The first person to PM or email me takes them home.
Thanks,
Mark

We're talking about these

For a pair of my standard headlights?

Whats the catch?
Very little I think given the JDMs are RHD. But I dont think there is a requirement in Japan for the beam to cut in one particular direction so you might just get light being flooded out. Also, some MOT places can be a pain in the butt as I had with JDM Accord a few years back.

Will it be a straight swap issue? Or do i have to convert and modify stuff? :confused:
I am not sure. I would imagine Mike Diaz is who you want to talk too. I am pretty sure he has installed JDMs, and I know he has installed EDMs. Also I think someone needs to be a gueni pig and try it out. I am a little concerned with that auto leveling system you guys have.
Later!

Shapss did you see my other thread? I was having a bit of trouble identifying which type my car actually is...

I am almost positive you have a Type I because even the JDM Type II has the same badge as the USDM Type II. I know there is a way to tell through the VIN. Post that up or manybe someone can post the codes. I saw it a couple of days ago, but I don't remember where.
Later!

You know for years now we have tried many times to set up a swap program for EDM lights. No one ever thought of trying JDMs. This will probably be a good thing for all.

Lee,
