Hello guys, how is everyone doing? I am a current owner of a red 91 hatch 240sx. I am looking into purchasing all of the parts ness. to complete a silvia front end swap. I just have a few questions, hopefully I can get them solved!

What does JDM, and OEM mean. I know they mean there from Japan right? But ill see like *OEM* From Japan! And then ill see *JDM* Like New! , and they will look the same. Just dont know the difference. And is Kouki like OEM or JDM?

I have been searching for headlights, and I have come across a few different looking styles, they all claim to be org. from a silvia s13. But they all look different. Can some one explain to me which head lights are org from a silvia ,or which ones are OEM or JDM. Please just help me get these straight mates! These are what they look like...

Triple Projectors

Dual Projectors

Halogens

*THANKS FOR PUTTING UP WITH MY NEWBISH QUESTIONS, I HOPE I MADE IT MAKE SENSE, AND I HOPE I DIDNT GET TOO MANY NAMES WRONG*

JDM = Japanese Domestic Market, generally anything sold specifically in japan, either stock or aftermarket.

OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer, anything made by Nissan; stock factory parts. could also be just OE for Original Equipment, refering to the parts.

all the lights you posted are stock/OEM/JDM silvia lights, different years and trimlevels had different styles. specifics are out there, just search for them. they are called tripple projectors, dual projectors, and halogens, in that order.
