hold up- friendly advice

Realize that it may take more than 15 minutes to get a good reply. Everybody wants questions answered with validity, but be patient. You ARE new here and it's a public forum. Think of things like you're starting out in Prison and act accordingly. Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad, man. If anything it kept your thread bumped near the top. Somebody will come along with help sooner or later. Ok?



this has been a public service announcement

They are the same headlights, the seller just titles them differently. When you go down to product description in the middle of the page you will see that they are both listed as Diamond Black. A lot of Ebay sellers do this especially the power sellers in order to get more search results I guess. Either way these are not JDM headlights as they are listed.

JDM is not a brand...JDM stands for japanese domestic market.meaning it was made in Japan.

they are boring,, i could do what everyone else is doing, which is clearing them out = (pain in the arse), and your left with you stock housing, possible leaks if u didn't silicone the housings back together properly, and you might just wind up cracking the housing in the process of taking out a reflector...... SO i'd rather be different and have something many don't. The ones from atomic street look pretty slick i think,, what do u guys think of em? i think they would go good with my 8000K HID's , 5% tint all around on my white TL.

here is my car

so not JDM....just paint them yourself, and its not a pain in the arse, like a 1 hr job, most the time just goes on to letting the paint dry. and its like a 25 dollar job =)
P.S. JDM ones are just leaving your headlights the way they are STOCK.

this is true, they will still be stock,, except they won't lol ,, they do look completly different than just clearing out your headlights,, from the finish of the inside out, plus,, NO REFLECTOR! and really 180 bucks is not bad at all for a pair of OEM parts that you see all the time.

lol he has the funniest post ever.

1. JDM means japanese domestic market, not a brand
2. there are no such thing as JDM headlights for our TL
3. both those company are the same with different names
4. if you have money to spend, then buy them. they look a lot cleaner because most of our headlight lens are already hazed up bad.
