Default JDM Headlights

I need to buy new headlights and want to get the JDM headlights. Where did some of you buys yours? Also, I was reading that they have a different socket for the parking lamp and turn signal. Where did you all buy those from and are there any other part to make the switch. I got in a minor accident and both cases are done; so I need new ones completely... Rick's diffusers are out.

Thanks,
Matt

You will need these sockets for the turn signals. The US spec signal socket will not plug in.

BNB is correct. You definitely need different turn signal sockets. However, the parking light sockets are the same, so no need to change anything there.

And one last note, if possible, order some from Europe since those headlights are made for the LHD side. Otherwise, the JDM ones will be blinding everybody.

Correct me if i'm wrong. I believe the Euro units incorporate an auto leveling feature, and it does not come with the motor assembly. I originally had the JDM units, but the beam pattern drove me up the wall and I woud up going with the EDM pieces till I ran into the problem with the adjustable motors.


Here is a pic of the JDM beam pattern.

Chrome Housing, Clear diffuser, and bragging rights. I honestly don't think they look good at all. If you search spacecowboy, he has a set on his car.
