really nice build! it was definetly worth the time & money, because the JDM headlights are so much better looking. i would also suggest installing 4300K HID xenons. trust me, once you have used xenon lights, you never want to have those ugly yellow halogens again.

the jdm projectors are bigger, and the light pattern is directed in the opposite direction, so you get the added satisfaction of blinding oncoming traffic.

They both look the same to me. I mean, i wouldn't spend the dough on it. The USDM looks even better to me. + like numbnuts said, the JDM ones will blind oncoming traffic.
 Can i say FUCK THAT SHIT??

I have to agree. No offense, but it makes the kouki look like it has down syndrome.

Ummm........you guys do know that the headlights can be adjusted both vertically and HORIZONTALLY, right? They come from Japan preadjusted to the left. All you have to do is adjust them to the right. But the rest is opinion so "To each his own".

are you serious? i guess you dont know anything about lighting then. LHD beam pattern goes like this _____/------- it flares to the right.
RHD beam pattern is this -------\_____ it flares to the left its not a matter of just adjusting it down. learn your **** before you start spreading misinformation

Well.....I stand corrected. So now I'm curious....Its the lens of the headlight that dictates the pattern right? You can adjust the beam but not the pattern.

a projector is consisted of the lens, reflector bowl, and the shield. the shield is what determines which way it flares up
