I love the JDM headlights, just wish they didnt cost $600


They should lower the price on the Hondata too......



I put JDM headlights + Hondata on the overpriced list.

You can busted for that. I would say just stay with the amber. The headlight itself already looks great and no need to pull stupid move and get own by cops.

where did you get them installed?

I would say to go with the orange PIAA's, I believe they are clear when not on and then light up orange.

I have been using the stock bulb for about a year now. its the ugly yellowish white but it has kept me from getting a ticket. I am going to push the limit though this next summer and switch to hyper white.

What's the point of getting the jdm lights if you're going to have an amber / yellowish marker? The whole point of spending all that money is improved looks on the lights!



I'm really not so sure that clear corners are illegal, or at least its a state by state thing.
Clear TURN SIGNALS are illegal, but putting white bulbs in the markers? Shouldn't be a problem.

I had a motorcycle cop at Starbucks compliment my car yesterday, in the dark (early AM coffee run). What did he see? This is what mine looks like in the dark with hyper white LEDs:



LED turn signal (so YES, I'm legal):


And daytime shot:

FreDroRN, you're not allowed to say "looks awesome" to us, only we can say that to you.

But they would sooo compliment your amazing setup.

I can still appreciate a tasteful mod that looks great on the car.

yellow i believe is legal. the blue bulbs you guys got look good but only in the 06 headlights. i dont think that would look good on my 04. its pretty much a race between amber and yellow for me...both are legal colors.
