yes they will burn your wiring, and TRUE jdm headlights use H4 bulbs, not H3 like most of the "JDM" projector headlights I see on ebay.

Forgive my stupid question, but what is the difference in the JDM headlight and the USDM?

Other then I am assumeing the bulb since you are saying the JDM takes H series bulbs and the USDM takes 9005/9006 bulbs.

I'm using my old car as an example.



That is stock. Two-Piece. 9006: Low, 9005: High. Beam Pattern: LHD

JDM







One-Piece. H4: Low, H1: High. Beam Pattern: RHD

Are there any bright bulbs that I can use that will NOT burn out the wiring. What if the bulbs are xenon, gas filled?

try some sylvania silverstars, or sylvania cool blues. just don't get PIAA, not worth the 100 bux you'll spend on them. otherwise get HID

Silverstars work fine for me and are pretty cheap in the big scheme of things.
