the ones with the lines look wierd i want to get black housing headlights with matching corners and not have to guess what color to paint the corners or should i say the headlights since u can buy the corners separate but i was just wondering i want the ones without the lines! i could jsut get rid of the lines but hell i own an accord i don't need to spend all that freakin money when i can just DIY!!! that more fun anyway i guess i just want to know if the ones with lines are Edm or JDM? Thanks

i think that all of the jdm ones even the depo ones require you to change the bulbs to h1 and h4 i believe. So ive been told by people that have owned the two. But the thing is are the lenses of the edm and the jdm different because one has the lines and the other does not. I do not want the lines i think that looks really bad !! I really want to make sure also that when i get new corners they fit as close to the headlights as possible. Not like the crap i have now. Oh and i want my headlight color to match my corner lenses so if i do a diy headlights what color should i get for them? to match the corners that is?? DANG i know so much to think about!!!

thyey def are more unique but i guess im used to the usdm ones like the jdm that have the clear lenses, also would that make them glass then since they have the lines, the reason i say that is the edm supra headlights that are glass have the lines and the us ones are plastic?

im unsure if they are glass or plastic, at first glance they appear to look like glass but jdm eg civic headlights look just like the us counterparts but are plastic with the fluting...

That is a pretty decent price for a set of stanley JDM/EDM headlamps (even without the corners). I would like to get something like that for my car and an imitation corner lamp that doesn't require bracket modification. Unfortuantley however I can't seem to find any sort of decent corner imitations.
