Re: what bulbs do jdm eg headlights use (SnowSurfer)
I talked to a guy who worked for luminics bulbs at the eibach meet and he said you can use h4 bulbs, you just have to dremel out a tab, he said its pretty easy to do. I'm gonna look into it because h4h bulbs are pretty expensive.

actually the difference is in that metal piece with the 3 tabs on it. the diameter of that piece on h4h bulbs is a lot smaller than on h4. u can jam it in and it will work, or just cut out a lil bit of the larger piece on the h4. but yea, it can work.

and if you dont want to do that then you can buy "rabrig" bulbs which have h4h's.

I heard some people say that, and I've also heard people say that the output is fine.....I might just bite the bullet and try it out myself to see if it works.

i have done it and the pattern is drastically changed for the worse.it sucks to have to pay so much for the right bulbs,but if you do much night time driving,it's worth it to see better and not blind everybody.
i don't see how people can justify spending money on headlights that are practically identical to the stock ones,but can't justify paying for the correct bulbs to make them work right.
it's pathetic that people are charging 10 times what the bulbs cost.i could even see maybe doubling the price for the trouble of getting them to America,but charging $50++ for a set of stock bulbs that cost $10 is a rip-off.sombody needs to go to an auto parts store in Japan and buy a ton of these to sell for a reasonable price here.
