can anyone tell me the difference between teh two??

from what I've heard the major difference is that the fog light doesn't have a yellow cover inside the 96specr they have a yellow bulb where as the 98specr they have a yellow cover with a white bulb inside .

can anybody shed some light on this matter?

 

I think the 98's also went to HID and the housing is black.

Both are black housing, 96 spec is non-HID, 98 spec is HID.

I've never heard this rumor about the foglights. I'm fairly certain that both types of lights have a yellow cover with a clear bulb inside.

 

oh yeah, completely forgot about hte hid and non-hid
lol..that was hte obvious
haha

black housing for R and chrome for SiG correct?

Not true at all. Fog lights are the same for 96spec and 98spec.

Yes, I checked to make sure and they're all the same.

BTW, the chrome headlights are for non-ITR's. I don't know why they're called commonly referred to as "SiR-G" headlights. All non-ITR's have the same chrome housing headlights.

 

beautiful thanks for the reply and answers.


now is that fog light capsule replacable? or are you screwd if that breaks?

 

The chrome housings are from the 95-up Integra SiR-G. That SiR-G is the equivalent to the U.S.'s Integra GSR (motor wise) SiR-G's are the same front end as the Type R, but with chrome housing headlights and no front lip.

 

BTW, the way you can tell the difference between 96/98 headlights, is the 98's have a clear circle on the lens around the where the hid projector shines through. The 96 maintains the pattern of lines that goes across the lens.
That's how you can tell without seeing the back of the housing whether or not it has a hid ballast on them.

This is possibly the easiest way to visually recognise 96 and 98spec!

 

i have the non hid conversion and a guy i know has the hid conversion his projector for the headlight beam is smaller than mine and they are both oem conversions
