Black = ITR
Chrome = non-ITR

It's personal preference. Of course, the 98 spec lights are HID. Up to you.

Got mine here from J-Hot imports for $900, non-HID. Figured I could save about a thousand by painting the housing black myself and install HID's myself.

I know Hmotors sells them cheaper than passwordjdm and I've never heard any complaints from their service.

For those with the conversion, do people bother you about your car looking like an accord? To me that's what the conversion looks like, and it seems to be a waste of money just for the Accord look. Add to that if you get in an accident you're pretty much screwed.

your better off getting non-hid and just buying your own HID kit and installing them. and yes, i drive a JDM face teggy and NO, it looks nothing like an accord.

VerbalVenom: the accident thing, as long as you tell your insurence company or have proof it was like the with the conversion on it they will replace it back to how it was at point of time of accident... it happened to my 91 toyota pick up with the 4 runner conversion, recked it and they paid for a new front end about 1k worth!

as places top purchase the conversion, what the heck is the difference between the JDM Integra Type-R or the Sir-G conversion, the look the same minus a few bumper changes but they are 1k cheaper! whats the deal????
