I saw those--all they are are the Projector units that everyone else can get.

People call them "JDM STYLE" which i have no idea what that means...but anyway

Darkside carries the OEM JDM authentic bB headlights--that's what he was asking for i believe.

Being I've been putting JDM parts on my xB, I've been told that the JDM headlamps will fit but the sockets for the lamps will need to be modified. If I recall, they will need to be opened somewhat.

you have to do that to the projector headlights that scionfx and bbist sells. the slot needs to be opened up to fit the bulb that comes with the kit.

But if you read above, projector lights are not JDM...only darkside has JDM lights...see Joe, you dont know what you are talking about either...

JDM style is just a catch phrase. I don't see the big deal over these, IMO those lights look like ___.

Folks, you _don't_ want JDM headlights on a US vehicle. Japan drives on the left side of the road, so their headlights are designed to illuminate the left side more than the right side. Using these lights in our "drive on the right" country will dazzle the vision of oncoming drivers.

Do _you_ like it when some Bozo comes driving along with glaring headlights? Don't be that Bozo! Bright is fine, but keep the beam where it belongs.

Even in Hawaii, you don't drive on the left side like they do in Japan, JDM headlights are illegal and discourteous to other motorists. It isn't the matter of how the lights look, it's how they are designed to project light:



Now, if you can find lights that look like JDM lights but have lenses and reflectors made for the US things will be fine. This is a case where "JDM style" is better than real JDM parts as long as they are designed for folks who drive on the right.

If you Google on the string "RHD LHD beam pattern" you will get lots of food for thought.

Hey guys, the reason for the projectors being called JDM is that the projectors are from Japan and were made for the Japanese market. The lights on our website were imported from a distributor in Japan.

As far as this "blinding on coming traffic", the situation is blown out of proportion. The beam on all headlights have adjustable ***** to lower and raise the position.

Simple as reading a little bit below you man.

You thought the m4D tyT3 pRojEktORz were "JDM Headlights"--and obviously the guy wanted OEM ones...which is what everyone else seems to understand.

Don't get mad at me because you were wrong! And how is being helpful directing him to a site that doesn't even carry them--let alone the guy above you posted a correct link in the first place?
