other then the fact that they look better can you see any better at night with them cause i know that my stock one are horrible at night on dims but the brights are a god sent.

i think you see worse with them...everyone will tell you that they were made for RHD cars so they are aimed a different direction but you hardly notice that at all...i just think they way they are made makes the lights less bright that comes out and the road a little darker

i definitely think mine are brighter than stock..

it also depends how you have them installed, with or without the relay.

they kinda shine up and to the left since they're for RHD, but otherwise, good lighting.

they have sort of a projector type lighting to them. pull up to a wall with the lights on and the lights have defined edges, unlike stock USDM which scatter light a bit

Mine are deffinately brighter, but the view is kinda weird cause they are angled for RHD. Also, H4 and H1 bulbs are way better, and there are more options for upgrade. Get some JDMs and fogs and you won't have any problems seeing at night

prelude2005 · 02-06-2003, 06:15 PM

ooooooo yea....bright for shooo

with fogs that is

G_Loc · 02-06-2003, 06:18 PM

do you guys have the center lights wired so they come on with the high beams in the H4s?

homie_hoges · 02-06-2003, 07:10 PM

so do the black or chorme housings look better on a white car.

Even the picture is blinding me

That looks like REAL HID!

i think it definately depends on the bulbs, and i guess the relay might help too. I do know that without a relay, and using stock bulbs, the jdms are not as bright. even after you adjust the lights. but with a nice set of bulbs you'll see better than stock, but not sure if stock would be better with the better, reason suggests it would, but either way you'll figure it out and be happy because any lacking of light whatsoever is definately outweighed by the apearance.

you cant use stock USDM bulbs in them and you dont need a relay either. some people just wire the H1's with the high beam harness and dont use the high beam portion of the H4s

yes, well sort of. the h1's are the actual high beams but for the low beams you use the brighter of the two filaments in the h4.

G_Loc · 02-07-2003, 06:47 PM

now im curious as to how much light the H1s actually put out now.

i have them them wired in to come on with the high beams in the H4's... can you say blinding? hehe

thats how mine are and they behave the same as high beams on any other car. high beams are blinding that is the point.

H23Lude · 02-07-2003, 07:05 PM

mine are actually a little better than the stock usdm ones.

just curious...what kind of H4 bulbs are you guys using in your JDM headlights???

G_Loc · 02-08-2003, 12:29 AM

normal ones, the guy i bought them from (Engineland on here) included bulbs and harnesses.
