Default JDM CG3 Headlights?

I have seen JDM headlights for sale on a few different sites that are supposed to fit my 2000 accord, but I thought that the JDM accords in that generation are a different chassis. Only pics of a JDM accord I have seen is the Euro R which has a different body all around. Anyone know anything about JDM Accords 6th Gen?

Also, I have looked at projector headlights for my car, and they all seem to have one more socket in them than the OEM ones do. Why is that, and would I have to do some sort of fabrication to install them?

Here's a link to a place that has some for sale.....

the real jdm headlights for the 6th gen accords will not work on your usdm accord...the chassis is much diffferent than yours and will require a lot of custom fabbing...as for the projector lights, i dunno...

They just look like back housed headlights to me. You can DIY that to save you some money if you want.

The "JDM" headlights listed on the website are NOT true JDM headlights. As already stated, the real JDM headlights would not fit on your Accord. The ones on the website simply have black housings.

Yes, the projectors on that site have an extra socket and bulb. Its purpose varies between the different kinds of headlights. Sometimes the extra is a fog light housing, and you would need to wire it up as such. Sometimes the extra light is simply another parking light, and it just shares the connection with the other parking lights (no wiring needed).

Be forewarned that most of those projector headlights have a poor light output and visibility will be much worse.

If you want the "real" jdm headlights you'll have to find the jdm fenders as well. Then it'll work.
