Default Quick question for you teg owners.....

Did japanese integras ever have a usdm bubble headlight front end? This seemd odd, but read this and tell me what you think?
This pic clearly shows that it is a usdm integra with a jdm b18c1 engine right?

Here's what he had to say:

well just to get the facts straight, the integras in the US ONLY came with the bubble lens headlights, while in Japan i believe 1997-up SIR2 had the 3 piece lights and front end, while 93-up non-SIR had the bubble eye front end and 95-96 SIR2 also had them. It is confusing, i know, but at our lot we have about 3 bubble eye jdm integras on there. So its not that uncommon to see for us. Trust me, its a Jdm vehicle and swap. Thanks, I hope I clarified your concerns.

-Rick

Is he right? This is all new to me if he is?

There were Integras with the "bubble" headlights
Only ones with 1 piece were the SIR-G (optional)
and the Type R (standard)
Thats the info i've gathered in the past, hope it helps

he's right.

the bubble lights (eh, I hate that name ) didn't go over well with the Japanese...especially following the old Gen2 integra.
