#98668 What ch'all think about plastic JDM headlights, I mean over the OEM glass? I was informed that is was a little "Cholo"-ish. I think they're dope, just because they remove the nipples. Is this a step up? Feedback please!

#98677 I'd rather the EDM headlight, they are glass and look just like the JDM ones, plus have power adjust capability.

#98684 and they don't put as much light where needed since they are from RHD cars.

our lights disperse more light to the right to see objects roadside, jdm ones disperse more light to the left.

#98689 haha "Cholo" ish

I never really had a problem with whole lights to the right thing but then again i dont drive at night and here in town there are so many street lights that sometimes i forget to turn my lights on lol

#98696 Only thing I like about the jdm headlights is the weight deference. They turn yellow over time and the plastic chips very easy :thumbdown: Glass is the way to go.

One of the things I hate most about 96+ Civics.

#98936 Plastic ones are rubbish - get EDM glass ones from France or something, another country that drive on the right

#98946 Nice, where do I cop the EDM ones and how much do they go for?

I love this forums, ya'll are always helpful.

#99034 Ask one of the French guys nicely to send you some :P

Shipping is expensive so take that into account but the lights themselves dont go for much, here maybe $40 or $50?
