Euro edm headlights possible import from Italy, how many???

Hi guys,

I always seen that you are always interested in the EDM headlights, so I've think that could be interesting if I try to contact Honda, here in Italy, for know the price of 04 and 06 Euro Accord models (EDM).

Now I'd like to know how many people could be interested in...


Hope you like the idea!!!!


p.s. in any case tomorrow I will contact Honda for the price!!

It would be a great help for us. However, the shipping might kill the deal.

Sounds cool to me but the price has to be significantly reduced, not to mention shipping. All and all I think it would be faster and less expensive just to get it from Marcus.

I think they LOOK the same, but mechanical wise, it's a little different. Auto adjustment (EDM) VS . Manual adjustment knob (JDM/USDM)

The EDM ones are designed for left hand drive cars.

u can adjust the height of the shine, but not the actual projectors. its the pattern of light that the projectors make is the difference.
left hand side ones goes like this:
--------_____
____/

and the right hand side ones go like this:
____
-------\____

aka: whichever side of the car your steering wheel is on is the side where the pattern of light sits lower?

Hopefully this is so, b/c my driver's side is lower. I just thought they were misaligned and was going to try and adjust them to even, but I guess I shouldn't do this.

is there a noticeable difference from the drivers perspective? I can't really say that I have noticed a difference with my jdm headlights. just wondering why getting these would be superior to getting the jdm headlights.

so you don't blind the people coming toward you. that's the reason that our driver's side isn't as high.

So today I've called the dealer and he tell me that he need the VIN numer of the car because there are a lot of type of headlights... like 04 or 06, xeno or not xeno.

So i told him that I need 06 with no xeno but he didn't give me a price anyway, I don't have the car today so I don't remember the VIN, I'm waiting also for the honda italy reply, today I've sent them another mail to remeber them my question...

the dealer told me that the headlight could costo between 250 and 350 euros each(like 366 and 512 US dollars)


what do you think, any suggestion???
