DA Integra's Only
uh...that's odd, i was always under the impression that the JDM headlights had a better and wider light output. also, if u think about it, it's only the Headlights on the USDM that is glass, the foglights/corner lights are plastic. glass is actually more fragile than plastic. if u think about it, plastic headlights are better than glass because it's flexible. throw a rock at ur glass headlights-it breaks, throw the same rock at a plastic headlight-most likely it won't break!!! i.e. drop a glass cup, it shatters...drop a plastic cup, it might crack a little if anything. the only down side of the plastic headlights is that it need maintenance so it doesn't oxidize.

Not IMO. JDM headlights = driving in the dark vs my USDM headlights. The crystal clear glass alone is better. Yes, 9004 is USDM and it has more restrictions but that means nothing in terms of my experience with h4h/9004 bulbs and headlamps.

im not saying ur wrong or trying to knock you...it's just that u're probably one of the first person that said the USDM are brighter than the JDM.
it also makes a big difference on how you aim the jdm headlights as well, obviously if its aimed in the wrong direction you're not going to be able to see ****
have u ever had JDM headlights(not ebay)? if so...they must had been oxidized/hazed. when i drove my buddy's DA with the JDM headlight...his light output was way better than mines(i have USDM), im thinking it was almost 2x better. and i was running PIAA ultra white 9004 while he still had the original 17 year old Stanley h4h bulbs. that's why i switched over to HIDs.

I had 2 JDM sets. One cleaned by me, one brand new.
HIDs in Halogen housings, sorry that's wrong no matter how bright and how much better you can see, they're not designed to work hand in hand. The housing acts like a huge blur shield making it a hazard to the on coming driver.
Obviously.
damn man I want some one pieces bad! come on guys, I know someone has them they want to get rid of. hey have you ever thought how your fellow gen2 drivers look? why don't we post pictures of ourselves?
I want to keep my usdm ones to, I am gonna start a new trend, the right side of my car is going to be jdm and the left side is going to be usdm, please, nobody copy my style....
i havent had a chance to take any yet, its been raining 24/7 over here, dont expect much though it hasnt been color sanded yet.
Edit: got an offer for my rims, for some mugen RNR, just waiting to see how much cash he wants me to add on top.
