What's the difference between the JDM and USDM headlights? They look pretty identical to me.

the jdm ones look a lot more aggressive in person. its hard to tell from the camera because of the flash on the usdm one. ill put up some pics of the zomg bbq either tonight or tomorrow... you will see then.

Honestly I just got the cheapest ones on eBay I paid $30.50 shipped. I don't know if they will last. When I plugged them and hooked them up to a dead battery+ charger they worked and were extremely bright, but they kinda changed colors a little. Some pink, red, and blue. After I got the battery all charged up and left them on for a lil bit they stopped making funny colors and went white. But when I took out the bulbs the looked like they almost had a little red rust in them. It was really strange. So I don't know how long they are gonna last

I wish I knew what brand my brother bought, it was packaged with tape that had a bunch of japanese letters on them (that's not very detailed...) but they've been working for like 3 years no problem...He paid a lot for them too, not sure how much, but I remember being like "say waaaaahhh?"

kouki 10, those look LEGIT for sure. they are damn expensive though. honestly if i were you and you have a little cash to through around, i would buy the same ones i did and if they dont work then just throw them away and then buy the philips ones. i mean if the ones i have last a year or two ill be more than happy.

i put some in my girls car, i got them for $20.99 shipped on ebay in an auction that was listed poorly and nobody bid on them. they are still kicking with no problems after about 5 months or longer. they hum kinda loud, but you can only hear it when you are in front of the car when its not running. the ones i just got are quite. i dont know if the bulb color has anything to do with it?

i am a firm believer that the ebay ones are great for the price and i will be buying more of them for any vehicle i can lol. for the price i give them ***** (5 stars)

ya i know the page your talking about. i didnt have that problem with my girlfriends car. or my kouki. but both were wired with a relay. so when the highs were turned on the hid's would run off of battery power (relay) and not the switch. i dont know if expensive hid's would help in this. but either way the relay isnt going to hurt anything (unless you do it wrong).

separating the hi beam and low beam circuits should eliminate the hid's shutting off when the hi's are flickered/turned on
