jdm headlights back to usdm?
So I have the jdm headlights corners and grill on my b14..they're cool n all but at night I can't see sh!t! Thing is..the people who installed them cut the two metal handles where the OEM grill went.so the only thing holding up the lucino grill is the jdm headlights..any help fellas?

when you swap back to OEM are you keeping the lucino grill? the oem light will bolt up reguardless, then use zip ties to hold on the grill.


and how much you want for the black housings, pmme

I have no issues with seeing. I'll put up the special hid kit I have. It is for h4 and redirects the light to hit correctly. Before I couldn't see shit either. My hid bulbs also move.

Here was my coverage at night before i adjusted them.


This is the set i have. These lil things the bulbs slide into redirect the hid light output so the reflect better in non projector housings. 2× 35W 12V HID BI-XENON KIT BULB HI-LOW H4 H4-3 8000K | eBay

They also come with a relay kit, so you can use your hi beams as well, and these bulbs have moving bulbs for hi and low beams. Their a decent price so

i dont think you need brighter bulbs, just adjust the lamps to hit higher or lower depending on how they are. do you have HIDs now? if you go back it wont be as bright as it is now.

10k is wayyyy too blue..probably why you have issues seeing..if you switch to a 6k you will have wayy more usable light..you will see much better as well..

Keep in mind, the higher the temperature, the lower the vision! 4300-6000 is about the color of a sunny day, anything above or below only puts out less light!

You dont need brighter. these are regular white ones, and the thing that helps them is the piece that the bulbs slide into. It redirects the light, its awsome and what makes that difference.
