i know that this is personal opinion but id like to hear other peoples as well...would you rather get the stock jdm hid that comes with the jdm front...or buy non hid jdm front and just buy aftermarket hid?

 

stock hids, cutoff is soo nice

 

Go with OEM!

Think about it, its HID and its stock Honda. It doesn't get much better than that.

 

for oem

 

isnt stock jdm hid blue though or something? im planning on painting my car red once funds come around...still stock?

 

i have a red 97 gsr w/ oem hid's and its sick. oem rules

 

u gotz pix of ur car? i wanna see how it would look if i were to go this route

 

OEM hands down no questions asked. The cutoff and the output will be SO much better than those ugly aftermarket kits. plus you risk a chance of getting glares from those kits.

if you cant find OEM hid, then go the retrofit way I dont think anyone has ever retrofitted HID projectors into JDM non-hid headlamps.

I have S2k projectors on my USDM 98+ front and i love em!!!

 

ditto that

actually retrofitted HID would be better as you would get a US LHD beam pattern. But OEM HID would be the best for ensuring everything is fit together and works properly.

Don't even think about an HID kit in the non-HID lights. Those are t3h suck

 

anyone have any pix of a red teg with jdm front with oem hids?

 

This is a fairly new setup so I just have day shots...




I'll try to get some night shots soon. This car is for sale by the way.

I have plenty of my non HID setup...

The only difference when looking at the car is the little circles in front of the projector instead of the lines going all the way across on the lens... you wouldn't be able to tell unless you were really close up. It's not like it changes the look of the car in any way.

 

Actually, the projecter itself is smaller in diameter...

you can tell from this pic with my old halogen headlights...

 

OEM

 

OEM ALL DAY!!!!

OEM HID uses 4300K bulbs, the "blue" color you're thinking of is a result of the projector's optics with the lens and cutoff sheild. Look for pics of projector beam patterns on the hidplanet.com forums and you will see the blue band at the edge of the cutoff. You will not get this from stock Integra halogen projectors.
