JDM FTW!!

Dumb question, what exactly are the city lights?

Its a bulb in your head lights that comes on when your corners come on. Their not as bright as your regular driving light because their made for driving in the city where you have the street lights too

Oh ok. Anyone have pictures of them installed? This sounds like something I might do when I get my new headlights. Are they particular to any specific headlights? Such as maybe the JDM ones? Or can they be mounted in most OEM like headlights?

only on the JDM ones I believe

JDM headlights are identical looking to OEM ones..except a few differences.


JDM takes H4H bulb
USDM takes H4 Bulb

JDM lenses are Plastic
USDM are glass

JDM has no DOT nipples
USDM does on the glass.

JDM has city lights
USDM does not.







in a JDM headlight, the turn signals DO NOT turn on when parking lights go on. Instead, the city lights go on. These are 194 bulbs that luminate the inner headlights just enough so others can see you.

Example of a JDM headlight without nipples



example of JDM style wiring.



example with citys lights on (but no parking lights) like jdm wiring.






on a small note, there also exist the EDM headlights which have no DOT nipples and is glass and runs city lights and also H4. I would personally get these over the plastic since plastic fades.

Any idea of a reputable place to get the EDM headlights? Or are they quite rare in the states? Do they have amber corners? Sorry for all the questions, but google isn't turning up anything for me. Sounds like what I'll end up getting though.

password jdm has em

EDM housings are somewhat rare in the states. only a few have them as they are not as plentiful as the JDM ones.


as far as places that have it.


www.n1concepts.com have loads of jdm ones. email them if you dont see it on the site cause they have ALOT of stuff. They are local to me



amber corners are not OEM.


OEM ones are clear corners with an orange insert inside.

Ahhh, I wasn't sure if the amber corners were standard for the JDM or EDM headlights. Well I suppose I'll be on the lookout then for an EDM set, and hope to pick some up. But no matter which I get I'll be picking up some amber corners, as I just hate clear corners.

lol




whats wrong with OEM clears ;)

Haha, nothin against the clear corner lovers, I just don't like the way they look for some reason. Maybe on like a 3 series BMW, but for some reason, I just don't like the look of them on a Civic at all.

can we still get a brandnew of these JDM, EDM etc..

yah I guess its much better to get the glass ones so it wont fade quickly. Can I buy a JDM ones then just swapped the glass of my OEM to the JDM ones anyone done that?
