Default How well do OEM HIDs on a JDM front end fit ...

How well do OEM HIDs on a JDM front end fit with the ABS and a Mugen intake (not to mention A/C)?

More a matter of if the stock ballast behind them will be too close to anything else like that. TIA

Ed, I just remembered that my local buddy AntonioH also has the oem jdm hid front end on his 01 itr with no issues.

You = good to go!

the fitment is wicked tight...infact some of the A/C lines are "bent" in order to fit the headlights in....but it works none the less....

Well you'd have to IM me a link ... but I may have just blown that $$ on a set of second hand TE-37's.

Then again, if the price is right ... well, send me that link anyway.

according to password, the fluid res. (windsheild f& r) on drivers side wont fit, it was a tight fit on mine, so I took it out, never got a chance to replace with the jdm unit.

It all fits fine. The USDM fluid reservoir doesn't cause any issues.

I do know if you try to fit a OEM JDM HID front onto a 94-97 Integra, you WILL have issues with that exact part.

The ABS module was changed in 98 to accomodate the HID ballasts, thus producing enough room for this option.

Wrong! The '97 ITR's had the same ABS module as the 98 and up.

Well, I figured that the 97 and the 98 ITRs had the same ABS module, but I was thinking that non-R integras were all the same. But oh well, I know that the 94-96 is definitely a larger type and the brake lines will need to be bent and the mounting bracket removed.

Good Luck.
