They are custom done. Search around the forum for more info for the few that have converted. most are S2K or TSX projectors with color mod to the lenses

how are you comparing projectors and black/chrome/clear look?
one is for looks and the other is for visibility. and neither are "JDM."

as previously mentioned, projector headlights are all custom work and there a million ways of doing it and a million different looks. it's not hard to take your lights apart, just very time consuming. you have to know what you're doing or else you'll never get it right.

I can't imagine how long it would take to align the projectors right.
