In Japan, the JDM front end which you guys are talking about came from the factory of Japan starting 1997. 1994-1996 had the 4 eyes front end. In 98 Type Rs and up, the JDM housing lights came with factory HIDs (with proper HID lense) very similiar to the S2000 beam cut, basically you're just getting what it's supposed to be from Japan, USDM front ends are basically old style from back in 94-96 from Japan.

I had a 2000 Integra Type R with OEM JDM 98 Spec Front End, it was awesome. And I cannot emphasize how much better it is to actually get the 98 Spec Version that came with the HID Housing (built for HIDs) vs the non HID version.

Here's a video with my car in it. (Mine is the JDM version) my friends was the USDM version.

Yes, that JDM front makes the car look better as well.

I saw a CL converted Integra today, I had to try hard to not point and laugh at the guy as he drove by. Although I had mild nostalgia for reminders of AIMES.

 

cool, thanks for the info.

i am about to aquire a JDM front 2000 dc2. it has non HID headlights right now but i wanted to go the HID route. I was wondering how it would look with just a regualr 9006 HID kit on the non hid housings. I guess i will just have to save up and get some real deal projectors.

 

JDM becuase USDM is becoming the new fad.

 

JDM because it be's what it be's.

 

What else would be coming with it?:P

 

the JDM non HID housing with HIDs will pretty much have the same lighting output as the USDM projectors, you don't get the nice clean cut like you see on the S2000, with the HID Housing 98 spec, you will.

 

I like jdm front end wayyyy better, and I own a usdm front teg now .

 

JDM front ends hands down!!! this is a no brainer! it is expensive to do the conversion and do it right but the jdm front is hella sexy.

 

dang...who has that car now?
