I know you guys probably get tired of all the JDM HID headlights threads, but I still want to share what Purolator brought me this week!


Can you say "fresh" ?


Cheap looking DIY testing adaptor! (Hey, at least it works!)


A close look of OEM HID!


A further look of OEM HID!


Lastly, the stock projector headlights with hyperwhite light bulb.

Hope you guys enjoy the picture. I am now a happy man! Can't wait to swap the JDM front end!

 

wow... looks nice!
good luck w/ the JDM front conversion!

 

Nice Sony 52X CD-ROM in the first pic, just kidding, nice lights.

 

i love the loft wood pieces very nicely done and the cd drive, sike sick lights pure sex

 

Dirty engine bay

 

poor engine bay... nice lights.

 

Clean that Chit!

 

It is actually an AOpen cd-rom .

And yes, the engine bay is extremely dirty, thanks to the Canadian winter . But some of the yellow stuff are anti-rust material that protects the metal from salt and water to avoid rusting. Will try to clean the sucker before I do the JDM conversion .

PS: I will possibly do the conversion myself, so wish me luck!

 

What did you pay for the JDM HID headlights?

 

that looks awesome... I just hope when u do the conversion you clean your engine bay a little but

 

I think I got a pretty good deal! 870USD shipped from Japan, and the seller actually paid 170USD for shipping (express courier, arrived in 4 days!), so the headlights actually cost 700USD. I will sell the non-HID headlights from the JDM front clip after I get the front end (I have no idea when will I get the front clip as the seller has POOR communication). The average price for non-HID is around $450USD, ranging from $3xxUSD to high $6xxUSD. So I think the price difference justisfy the upgrade from non-HID to HID!

 

BTW, the headlights I received have a little broken piece (please see the red circle on the picture below):



My question is does it matter? I personally doubt it matters as I think there are already 3 clips holding the grille to the front bumper already? Any input will be greatly appreciated!

Great, now we got another JDM HID car blinding oncoming traffic.

 

Thanks for your input!

Kinda OT: But what rims are those?

Okay, where did the picture go?

 

nice

 

Man, those lights do look FRESH!!!
so when are you gonna take that freshness wrapping (I have no clue that those wraps are called ) off?? cant wait till you do the conversion!!!

I was there when Ideal R first tested his HIDs during the day and man they are BRIGHT

ps: Ideal R's HID test adapter works wonders, Im tryin to get him to make a few of them and put them on ebay and make some bucks off it to help with the conversion expenses

 

Almost forgot to thank my buddy Clement (CH-02DC5) for giving me a hand!

 

thats clean....love HID's.....and gotta love jdm front end!!!

 

mine are still fresh.. but too bad they crapped out on me. Anyone with Type R HIDs have them go out on you?


I need one of these now....
