they are much nicer than our USDM headlights...they are set up with a separate high and low beam housing instead of our H4 high/low single housing...

if you look in the picture you will see that the high beam is located next to the grill, nice headlights...

They will fit our xB without a problem...you might need to do some extra wiring to get the high and low beams working but i am not 100% sure of that, it might just be plug and play.

i just looked at them a little more and they look like gen 1 bB headlights, the first pic of them on the orange xB is the gen2 bB headlights that are much nicer than the gen1

The only thing i like about the gen1 bB headlights is its just a JDM look and JDM part but i would rather have the ones on the orange xB

i think thats the reason everyone goes with the gen 1 bB headlights tho cuz the gen 2 are just like the xB's stock ones

i agree with daneisthegreatest - the ones on the orange box are the HID option in japan, while the actual part they show is the gen1 bB housing. the HID headlights are what many people try to find, but they are extremely hard to find and are much more expensive ...

$400 is too much for these headlights. Check ebay. You can get then from a japanese seller for $310 shipped (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-T...spagenameZWDVW)
or from a seller in hong kong for $290 shipped (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-S...spagenameZWDVW).

The orange box has the JDM Kouki (2nd gen+) headlights, but the product pictures are of JDM Zenki (1st gen) headlights.

I've been wanting to get the JDM Zenki headlights for a while now. I just haven't had $300 to spare.

I think they look cleaner than the USDM version or the Sonar projectors that everyone else buys. But that's just my opinion.

new vs used though

If you install those on your car you'll end up ____ing off bunch of people as you'll be blinding all the oncoming drivers. JDM headlights have asymmetrical beam cutoff adjusted for left hand driving.
