Default question about JDM conversion

I dind't find it in search. But seeing as the HID front end is leik 1000 more.. can you just get a regular conversion and get like a phillips HID kit and install it yourself? or is the house different with the HID JDM front end one?

The housing on the HID headlights are different.

:edit: do a search on JDM HID or HID under the archives and you should find the answers to all your questions.

I believe the regular housing is a projector set up right? I could elect to just get the regular front and then later put HID bulbs in there right? it would be basically the same as puting HIDS in a usdm right or is there some other problem with doing that?

You will getting better results with the OEM HID housing.

If you've ever seen OEM HID, the light is spread evenly. The phillips kit on NON HID housings will have the same beam pattern as the Halogens except brighter.
