Looking for a set of jdm one pieces. Every set ive seen dont have the lines n the glass like the true jdm ones. Id like to get my hands on a set but im having a hard tim finding them. Anybody kno of any vendors that would have them.....preferably black housing but either way im ok. thanks for the info

 

Usually you can find sets on Ebay, and if you look around, can get great deals. My first set I paid 200+ shipped, and put them on my car. My second set, which I bought to replace a cracked lense and maybe start a retrofit, cost me 65 bucks shipped, and ended up being in near perfect shape, I was amazed.

There should be a few jdm suppliers that will also sell them, some even sell brand new ones, but those are usually 700+ for the black ones.

 

65 shipped for JDM headlights? Wow!

EBay is probably your best bet. Just use the search functions to weed out all of the light bulbs and aftermarket headlight assemblies. If you just search "Prelude JDM headlights" you probably wouldn't find what you're looking for in the first few pages.

 

what are they worth to you? lol... I have them on my car now. These the ones your talking about?

 

The way to weed out the real from the fake are the 3 horizontal lines running across them and having Stanley on them.

why are headlights so expensive )=

 

Because they're Stanley made.

 

Not that bad IMO, especially since there are some coming up for $180 that look to be in mint condition.

 

one of those on thelink I posted is actually a really greatdeal never seen one that low...

the reason there so expensive is ... it's from another country so the shipping is high for fragile product, it's oem jdm...not fake jdm, and it's prelude parts... we have way less demand compared to civic/integra stuff also alot of prelude stuff isn't in production any more

 

i got a clean used set off ebay for around 200bucks shipped from some guyn california, tracking says there here tomoro, ill post pics soon as i get them.

***question
Do the headlights jus plug right in or is there a certain harness i have to buy to use stock lights. im not ordering my hid kit until a couple weeks

 

You'll need to solder the connections that (hopefully) come with your headlights onto your existing wiring. Hopefully you actually get pigtails with yours unlike the bull **** they gave me. Dropping solder into the plug and praying they hold was painful.

 

I have a feeling I won't b so lucky, but we cn always hope

 

I bought my honda prelude from some dude, and it was in a slight front accident and they only replaced the hood bumper and had JDM stanley headlights, he mensioned it to me but Didnt make it sound like they were so special. Now after having them I think they look 10X betters then stock chrome housing

 

PasswordJDM sells a JDM-USDM headlight jumper harness; I'm not too sure but I think it would eliminate the need to solder.

 

i seen but will i need the jumper harness for my hid conversion? the passwrd jdm kit i mean?

.....no pigtails

 

i may sound dumb.....but here it is.....

..the back of the headlights themselves looks diff than the usdm model....they dont have the rubber boot like the jdm ones......how do i connect the lights? lol

...please dont judge my noob-ness

 

uhhh those don't even look like black housing.
Chrome housing? Maybe it's just the picture.
To connect the lights, just put the bulbs in and get an h4 plug and h1 plug and wire it up. Just cut the old plugs off and put the new ones on. Pretty simple. Just a power and ground.

 

yeah they are the chrome jdm housings, im not a fan or the black housing on any color but black, white or silver...so i went for a "stock" jdm look. im gonna order the pswdjdm HID kit that wires right in to the h4 headlights, 6000k...i dont want the blue tint, i want a pure white light

 

go with 5000k or 4300k then.
6000k has a bit of blue in it.

 

well a bit is ok, i jus dnt want like completely blue...as close as i cn get to the blue without it being too much

 

wouldnt 4000k start turning yellow?
