Do JDM HID housings exist?

[SickCelica696]

I know I can buy the blacked housing JDM for like $700, but I assume they have the HID's are on their cars, so is there one thats both with the HID projectors?
I want the jdm headlights but also want to do an HID upgrade so for the best output and cutoff I figured I could find something with the best of both worlds.

Yes, standard JDM HID headlights exist. There are two versions, the obvious Sport M:

I heard from member Evil Eye, the standard 03+ HID headlights is NOT as same as JDM one (different housing).

the Sport M one is discontinued and the retail price was around $2000USD

BTW, I have JDM headlights for sale. Only $699.00 SHIPPED BY AIR WITH TRACKING NUMBER :wave:

just get an 03+ hid housing and paint it black ;) j/k i was not awair that they made the 03+ hid housing in jdm version. it sounds very nice. MAy have to look into that. But it would still have the issue of pointing into oncomming traffic correct?

[SickCelica696]

yea whats this about pointing into oncoming traffic?

[hombredelassrta]

ask evil eye about his. essentually becasue they drive ont he otehr side of the road the lenses point out such as our do. but their out is ont he otehr side. so when driving over here they lenese point to oncomming traffic. I belive evil said he had to turn his way down so not to get highbeams flashed

[SickCelica696]

ohh makes sense, i thought it would be sometihng like that

[evil eye]

Yeah, my low beams are pointed really low to the ground, because the first week I installed the JDM headlamps and my HID kit, I was getting highbeamed left and right for weeks on end. One dude even chased me. So I said F it, it's not worth the hassle. I aimed them down and now I don't get bothered at all. However, I can't see sh*t from the passenger side of my car when I'm driving down a street with no streetlights. It really sucks because there's a lot of those dark roads here on Long Island. Eventually, I plan to counter all this by retrofitting the housings with HID projectors, either from the USDM Audi A4 or Acura TSX.

[SickCelica696]

ill probably just do standard jdm lights with a xeon depot kit then, that should counter act the aiming right?

[hombredelassrta]

^^ if i am not mistaken that is prettymuch what evileye had and that caused the issue.

No, the issue lies within the projectors, not the bulbs.

You are not mistaken. :)

[SickCelica696]

oh yea..even the standard jdm ones would point the other way as well...hmmm...i think ill just get a bat overlay to tint them for now :chuckles:

[hombredelassrta]

:chuckles: you coudl jsut crack your current housing open and paint them black and u would be set "_

[SickCelica696]

already did that, i want the tint to cover up all the damage done to the housing... ive got a 00 so the headlights are so ****ty looking with the yellow stuff and all that...the Bat overlay will do just fine

[DopeCelicaGT]

^^^Yellowstuff???

[hombredelassrta]

the watermarks or whatever it is that gets on headlights over time. u can "Flitz IT" with their kit i see on tv ;)
