HID lighting suggestions

[Death-the-Kid]

why is that? does the housing diminish the light output or something?

JDM head lights are plastic. plastic will fog over if it isn't buffed and sealed due to exposure to the elements. just keep them clean and the light output is amazing and clean.

Yeah. Just make sure your housings aren't fogged over and you're good. the factory Projector's/HID's are nice. I"m running stock 6000K for my low's and aftermarket 8000K's for my highs. This is my 2nd HID jdm front integra as well. No need to molest the headlight for an s2k retrofit unless you're just that meticulous

okay thanks.. i guess i wont retrofitt unless im really bored or just wanna try it for myself..

ive always loved the jdm fronts..but i like both the usdm and jdm fronts..

that's why i may buy another integra for that reason... but i don't need a 3rd honda at this point lol

I don't think you will pass DOT inspection with a jdm front because the jdm lights had no reason to be dot tested since jdm and all? Or am I wrong kid?

Haven't heard of anybody having a problem up here. only cars i've heard having issues with that were the jdm s13 silvia front ends because of the light housing distance from the ground.

Mine are pretty clean but I'm going to wet sand them when they are off my front end.
Op is going to have a lot to read btw

at our shop, we have a headlight buffing kit from 3M and i am very biased on using :/ i personally think that the headlight should be replaced cuz if you buff it, itll get yellow again later.. its just a temporary fix..

spray on sealant works like a charm... after you buff.

I use the 3m kit now actually. It's just temp till I can get eBay lights to take the cover off and use on my oem housing retrofit. I don't want the eBay housing or halos though

one s***ty thing about the jdm front is there are no glass housings that i'm aware of to replace the factory plastic

What sealant you recommend?
And I didn't know that, just remember a member on here had that problem with their jdm front and were trying to put on Usdm lights to make it pass even though it wouldn't fit with the jdm front...I wonder how that ended now that I think about it

yeah i wish i had glass headlights...i know silvias come with glass headlights :/ why cant integras?

Start producing them and people will buy, then you have a business for yourself to make money to go to school

you know thats not a bad idea..unless i get sued for some reason :/

silvias make tq and integras don't so the added weight of the glass would knock 3 seconds off of the integra's 1/4 mile
