Just wondering if anyone knew where to get the JDM 5th gen headlights that are NOT black housing, but chrome?

They use H4 & H1 bulbs and have seperately adjustable Hi/Lo beams and Fog. Also, they don't have the "nipples" on the housings.

They don't have to be true JDM, I don't mind Depos. But I do want them to be the non-SIR type (non-blackhousing).

Why not just keep your oem ones? That's pretty much what you're describing

I thought about it but:

1. You don't get the "nipples"
2. Each beam is adjustable
3. They use H4 for HiLo and H1 for Fogs
4. My oem ones are really really dull and worn.

 

I can't remember if the '97's (mine) have the nipple. I've had the JDM black housing for so long I'd get some blacks, they are sweet

 

94-97 all have "nipples"

I've had blackhousing and I'm going to retrofit HID's eventualy and want a stock looking housing with adjustable low and high beams (USDMs can only adjust both at same time)

 

As far as being dull, use some Mother's Aluminum Wheel Polish. Couple coats of that and a little elbow grease, and they'll look good as new

 

To be on the more thrifty side, some Turtle Wax polishing compound will also clear them up. I used it on the dull yellowed headlights on my beater Dodge and they cleared up like new. Just a little TLC and a couple of coats and you got it.

 

I've tried all the polishes and compounds...they are clear, but they are pitted from 10 years of driving and need to be sanded to look like new again..

 

$249 shipped seem like a good price for STANLEY clears?

on a side note, does $195 sound like a good price for real deal JDM fenders with sidemarkers?

 

Ok, so why not get the JDM black housings and switch out the black piece with the chrome piece from the OEM ones??? So after that you end up with new clear covers and chrome housings. You can then call it a REAL DIY part.

 

Because internaly the JDM ones have individualy adjustable hi/lo beams. USDM ones , they're both molded together...

wont work


----------------------------------------------------------------------

btw, is $235 a good deal for real deal JDM headlights? what about $195 for real deal JDM fenders with sidemarkers? both are with shipping included.

don't change this into a JDM thread, i'm not asking oppinions, i'm asking for information.

 

got to jdmshit.com or jaydm.com they have alot of great stuff

 

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THE JDM 7th GEN PROJECTOR LIGHTS!!! I bought these I could not beleave that they were sold for 300 dollars. They are junk and they have so low quality projectors and they have H3 bulbs Chuck out the link below they are a bit expensive but they will retro anything, and they will do it right the first time.
