as for me, i have the original jdm blackhousing headlamps, but demons rage painted his... i would recomment painting them instead of getting the jdms...

reasons:

1. cost - the lamps cost me around $900.00 US..
2. jdm light pattern is different then US... the driver's side aim high as passanger side aims low, while the us versions is reverse..
3. jdm requires electrical work as well as new bulbs/sockets

the bad thing about painting them is that it's semi permanent. you can take it off, but not spur of the moment type of thing. don't they sell GTS blackouts for this car? maybe that's another option.

Sometimes you can find someone who will sell some cheap on ebay or on the selling area here. I got mine for 275 from a guy in hawaii with all the electric and bulb stuff done. But then one of then got a small burn on it and (me being the perfectionist with my car) got another one new from another guy in hawaii for about 175. So i mean there are some still floating around. I still have three lights because i have been to lazy to replace the one that is slightly messed up. If i had the pair id sell you it but i only have the drivers side.

http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/208477 the driver side one has a small burn on it but if you dicided to get TLxRaceR's eyelids it would cover it up. The burn did not break the seal of the light.

I'm trying to figure out if i should. I did it on a accord for a friend and it turned out awesome. The only thing is that i just got a new headlight, so one is shinier/clearer than the other.
