whats up guys, just wanted to clear something up and i would really appreciate it if you guys can answer a few questions i had about the JDM ITR FRONT END HEADLAMPS HID vs NON HID.

pictured below are from what i know NON HID headlamps and HID HEADLAMPS but i just wanted to make sure and ask a few questions.

[picture 01] - Hid headlamp.. correct? (notice the amber reflector)


[picture 02] - same car, different view.


[picture 03] - Hid headlamp...correct? (notice it does not have the amber reflector) *WHY?*


[picture 04] - nice crisp clear view of HID HEAD LAMP correct?

now these are all NON HID *NOTE: i understand that the HID BALLASTS will fit into these headlamps.. but they are labeled NON HID* correct?*

[picture 06] - non hid


[picture 07] - non hid



so why do some have the amber reflector and some don't?.. thanks again for all the help guys.

 

none of the jdm itr headlights have amber reflectors, in the first pic it looks like it because the way the light is hitting the turn signal bulb.

... so its probably the Amber light inside the reflecter vs the Clear light in the signal.. thanks bro

 

<FONT SIZE="10">You are absolutely correct.</FONT>

 

All OEM JDM front ends come with the pictures you supplied labeld "HID"... the non hid headlamps have the lines running all the way across the lense....

Not really sure but i took a shot at it

 

HID PROJECTER

NON HID PROJECTER

 

HID or not, they all look hotttt

 

there is no amber reflectors... the only reason you see amber in the picture is from the amber bulbs...

if I put amber bulbs in my JDM ITR headlights... they would reflect amber in the housing

when I put clear bulbs in my JDM ITR headlight, they would end up like the 2nd pictures..completely black housing

 

thank you all for the comments, just wanted to make it clear...

 

its not the sun hitting the bulb its the top of a building reflecting off it

agreed

 

that would be tight if the jdm headlamps were amber on the corners

no sir... its not the building.. although i do see what your talking about. Explain the other side then..

 

hmm you cheated getting another pic
but i guess either they are amber or its another building?

 

theres no reflector--its the orange signal bulb that you see.

correct. (haha)

no that would look retarded

the way they came from the factory looks best, but I would probably use amber bulbs if I had them to keep it a little bit less illegal (less attention attracted at night).

If I was really concerned about the amber showing in the daytime, I would use those new bulbs that appear silver when off, but amber when on.

 

HID JDM Projectors dont have lines all the way across the lens.

THE non HID ones do.

SImple as that

lol... especially after

 

HID have a Circle on the outside where the beam is. NON-HID dont have the circle, and have lines all the way across. Regarding the amber signals, thats just the bulb inside. You can have clear or amber but in most places it illegal to have clear so people use amber. I think amber looks better also! Hope that helps

 

Yea like they said, its just the way the light and angle you look at it... for example, here is my teg that is equiped with NON-HID headlights.
