whats the difference between the two? how much do the two cost for the jdm conversion?

 

I assume you're talking about the japanese front conversion...

The difference? About a grand.

Oh yeah, and you're actually able to see in the rain

 

right, nwo that i have seen one of the most beautiful jdm conversions ever. its a 98 mr jdm rhd and i want to do it so bad. so we're looking at about a grand for the hid head lights, and about 2 grand for the bumper, fenders, lip ect ect ect.. what about some the wheels? how much for the itr wheels? what do i need to do to make it 5 lug conversion?

 

bump for a dumbass

 

wheels usually go for $600 i believe, a 5 lug conversion is what you need though, im not sure on the typical price but i think around $1k(someone correct me)

 

about $2,200 for the front end without being installed and about $1,500 for the 5 lug and rims without being installed.

 

what does the 5 lug conversion consists of?

USUALLY...given if it is complete....should come with the ftont knuckles and calipers ( with brake pads...or you'll just have to buy them ) and rotors, the rears I've seen come in one of two ways. One...just the hubs with rotors and calipers ...or the hubs with rear calipers and rotors all attached to the rear trailing arms. Oh....and wheels too

 

For the hid conversion

Also, use GOOD COMPONENTS! cheap HIDS burn out, discolor and are actually usually dimmer than stock..

and make SURE you retrofit the projectors, because if not, you'll be blinding people and it's rude, illegal, and ruins it for everyone else.

good luck!

 

HIDS are cool...even though i just bought a 8000k HID conversion kit.. the retro-fits are better

 

you can get the whole conversion (used parts) with hid for about 2500 from Leo at Password jdm. I was looking into this for the factory hid... decided not to though.

Unless you know how to weld you are going to have to get a shop to do this install. The radiator support has to be swapped out which isnt that hard but make sure you use enough seam sealer and prime it really good to prevent rott. After that everything bolts right up!

Nothing beats OEM parts!

Also I have seen the HID headlights on ebay for 800 but it now (used) and Password JDM also sells them brand spankin new.. for a pretty penny!

 

personally i couldnt justify spending the extra $600-800 more for the HID jdm front end over the non-HID. i would rather just buy some HID's out of an e33 or s2k and retrofit them for under $300.

 

once you go hid, you'll never go back
