Default USDM vs JDM headlights

I'm trying to figure out if it's worth getting jdm headlights being that it's brighter than usdm. Anyone got a picture or video of the comparison? Pros and cons? TIA

I got JDM headlights for my EG. Dont notice a difference from the USDM. Lucky for me I got them for free, or else they would be a waste of money. Not worth it.

Not worth it, the turn signal has a "city" light in it which is a daytime running light, and the corners only come on when ur turnsignals are on, not when ur headlights are on if you wire them like theyre supposed to be. Stick with what u got.

How much can you get them for?
I paid $200 and it was worth it.

They are made of plastic as opposed to the USDM ones that have Glass Housings. This saves weight, the JDM ones have daytime running lights or "city lights". If you buy them at the right place they will also throw in some JDM Amber corners. Lets see anything else?

Is there a big drop in current in the factory headlight wire harness? If there is, I could make or buy a wire harness with relays and run them off the battery directly to the headlights, giving the bulbs full power, making them brighter.
