got a question about the jdm headlights can u put hid's in the non hid headlights.

whats the diff between the 2?

 

Yes you can put HIDs into non HID JDM headlights. I would guess the main difference between the two are the low-beam projectors, the HIDs in my non-HID headlights don't have the greatest light output.

 

yeah i have my 9006 HIDs (cheap non-retro) in my jdm headlights.

 

then whats the difference i know if u by the hid one it comes with hid's but is thats the only difference?

 

non-hid have lines going across the projectors/low beams

non-hid also come in chrome/black housing

 

wow, are these serious replies?

OEM HID projectors put out a MUCH better pattern without almost any glare. It has a wider beam, nice cutoff, and great appearance. Regular headlamps are made for halogen bulbs so it doesn't give you all of that nice stuff. Do a search on here and you can find a much more detailed comparison and some picture comparisons.

 

next time search. this is the second post in the Lighting forum.

^^^^ clean pics

 

yes you can. the diff is that the NON hid comes with regular bulbs and headlights duh. it still has the projectors so id suggest just getting nonhid type R headlights then installing some nice HID kits.
