so basically the "generic" ones are ok? I'm not TOO concerned about the H4 bulb... because i'd put my HID's in there anyway (yes, the real ones) A D2R bulb fits much easier into a H4 housing, rather than a 9006 housing.

I'd then be using the H1 bulb for my highbeams...


Dude, judging by your description of the wirring for your DRL's, they are on all the time... even with your headlights... and i'm not really seeing how they can be 50% intensity if there is no form of resistance, lowering the voltage to the bulb... :dunno:

I got the fake JDM's and it looks/works fine. No one will know when you go down the road if its real JDM or not. Your pocketbook will know though! The beam pattern is not as good as stock headlamps and you dont have HI-beams. I saw somewhere in this forum you have to re-wire or something like that to have your lo and hi beam on at the same time

I have real genuine JDM headlights.

So far the beam pattern has been nice as I had them aimed. I do have people flash me as the left headlight you really cant do anything to it. Its going to shine over there unless you get a HID kit. They looks sick and I love them. For wiring I just bought H4 and H1 pigtails and cut the stock plugs off and used a butt-connector to connect them. It works great!

Overall I love my headlights and it gives off a decent shine. Its also not yellow like the stock.

Inner ones foglights? I have never heard that. I thought they were just the brights? Fill me in.

no, inner lights are not fogs. someone started that retarded rumor a long time ago.

in japan and europe, the h4 act as low beams and high. the h1's act as aux. driving lights. there's a 15-degree spread (pretty much a pencil beam) and they shine down the road like nobody's business.

fog lights are suppose to be wide and short. anyone with a pair of depos or real stanley lights can tell you that the h1's are neither wide, nor short in illumination.
