question

what is the difference if any between jdm headlights and us version

does our 9006 bulbs fit the jdm housing .. has anyone bought and used jdm version with no issues

i want a fresher set of headlights and the jdm versions are quite abit cheaper

 

JDM headlights will aim slightly to the right to aim light more toward the centre of the road for a vehicle that drives on the Left Side (Japan / Australia / New Zealand / UK / etc)

USDM are the opposite... your beams point slightly left.

You can get around it by just adding a couple of washers when you bolt in the headlight to correct the beams to suit... may take some adjustment, but asides from that, all fittings are the same from memory

 

^^what he said. O yea they have some JDM lettering lol.

 

I have 2 sets of JDM headlights. I'm using one set on my car now. They use the 9005 bulbs.

I also have an ebay plug and play hid kit. They show great with a nice cut off line. I know it's nowhere near a retrofit but it's all I need. I haven't been able to compare it with a USDM headlight though because mine came with the car.

I don't notice the aiming to the right. It looks pretty centered to me.

 

so are u saying 9006 bulbs for us version will not work in jdm version

 

Nope. It didn't on mine. The base of the 9006 bulb is too big. The part the actual glass bulb attaches to. The only way I can see it working is if you drill the hole bigger on the projector. Both sets of headlights I have fit the same way.

 

Arrrrghhh, So that's whats wrong with my JDM Headlights. Now are there any heads light actually made of glass?

 

I found out the hard way as well, I have to grid the HID bulbs to fit !

 

yup they are deff 9005s i dont believe there were ever any glass headlights made for our cars

 

Same here

 

Buy new bulbs?!

 

i wish they had glass...

 

Went out and bought 1 9005 and fit perfectly. Thanx guys.

 

you mean 9005?

 

the only thing i had to do was convert one of my connectors for the blinkers to the JDM version.
