S2000 JDM Headlights question.
I want to purchase a JDM headlight unit. The sites I'm considering purchasing the headlights indicates it's none HID.
What does this mean? Can I move my HID from my stock headlights to the JDM? How difficult is it. Etc. Thanks

Since JDM cars are RHD the headlight pattern is reversed from our LHD pattern in the US. Unless you seriously adjust the light pattern you will be blinding oncoming traffic if you install the JDM version. The European Domestic Market Housings match our LHD pattern correctly and many have used these in the US (including me) without issue. You may want to research this a little more before you make a decision.
About the non-HID thing, when you order replacement units whether EDM or JDM, usually ALL you are ordering are the housings. So, you must reuse your bulbs and ballast from your stock housings. The entire process is not very difficult if you are handy around your car. Just remember not to touch or get any contaminants on your hid bulbs.
Hope this helped, good luck.
