whats the difference between the USDM headlights and the JDM ones for the EG. i see that theyre plastic instead of glass with the JDM, and they have the city lights. what exactly are city lights?

 

no nipples on the front! lol

 

city lights are what you would call running lights.

it's a small extra bulb in the headlight.

 

search

but ill asnwer it

plastic covering
no nipples
city lights like what they said

also i noticed that the headlights beam alot better then the usdm ones

 

nippless plastic

 

JDm headlights seem to fit perfect together, as the usdm headlights seem to have a bigger crack between the corners and headlights

 

by nipples you mean the plastic nubby thingies?

 

anyone have a pic of them, possibly even installed?

 

I thoght the city lights only illuminated the housing. Which would make them a bit diferent from DRLs.

 

I have a pic of them on my friends eg but i dont know how to attach it to this, help me out and I will

 

most importnatly is that the jdm headlights use a H4H bulb. very few upgraded bulbs available and no one makes an HID kit for it and even stock replacement bulbs will cost you $35.00

 

dont forget they dont weight as much!!!!

DRL's are technically the headlight bulb running at a lower percentage of power than normal...

City lights are just that... city lights... DRL's are on when the power is on and lights are all the way off... city lights light up when the parking lights go on...

Also to the poster.. FYI

JDM headlights also use h4h headlight bulbs which are not available in the U.S. I believe there are some vendors that sell them now but at a premium

SDM (Singapore DM) have the city lights... have GLASS lenses with no nipples, and take normal h4 bulbs...

acutally that not true at all
running lights, as you know in the USA are mainly for safety purposes when driving ( let other drivers see you coming) and come on automatically when driving
city lights are used in the city, are not automatic, and are used when driving in the city. the purpose is so that when you get to an intersection, you turn off your main lights so as though you dont blind the driver across from you. once you get deeper into the city, and its alot brighter ( see any picture from tokyo at night), you just use these lights as the city around is well illuminated from all the buildings
hope that cleared up any confusion

 

You guys realize that plastic lenses discolour over time right? Take a look at a 1990 Mustang LX.

 

Do the EDM headlights produce as good an output as the JDM headlights? Also, I know the EDM headlights are rather expensive but do you know where they can be purchased?

Honda Europe, about 215 euro each. They are expensive because they are motorized, you can raise and lower them from the cabin. Also in Europe the "city light" is used for parking , so other cars can see the edge of you car since street cans be very tight.

 

the true function of city lights is to complement LED washer nozzles in the local parking lot
