Re: jdm headlight vs. usdm headlight (EGRhatch)
since we're on the topic of the headlights, are there any jdm head lights for 92-95 civics that have that reflecting look to them(yellow, blue, purple..), kinda like the ones that you can get for 96+ civics..?

Re: jdm headlight vs. usdm headlight (95cxhatch)
The jdm head lights turn yellow and fade when they get old. 
Rubbing compound can brighten them up but you have to maintain them.
Another drawback is that there is not as many h4h choices out there as there is h4. Atleast thats what I noticed last time I was looking for bulbs.
One more thing that makes them different is the way they focus because they drive on the different side of the road. Wich is hardly noticable.

There was one guy on here making ION headlights for 92-95 Civics, but he turned out to be a scammer, but that was back in 2002. Someone should make a DIY post about how to do it.
