Default depo jdm or stanley jdm?

which should I get for my new 5th gen accord? does anyone have pictures of the beam pattern for either one against a wall? since i've already got H4 HID, i don't feel like buying another set of bulbs and wiring them up to work with stock headlights. so lemme know i guess, i've got till this weekend till i buy my new car.

you've got a 4th and 5th gen accord?
the pattern isn't what you want when you get the OEM jdm lights...the pattern isn't the same as the USDM lights......they aim away from where you want them to, so you won't see as good, but it's not a HUGE deal....just not optimal and the output/pattern of the aftermarket lights will actually be better since they are aimed with the LHD, usdm market in mind

I'm with Chuck, if you have money to burn, get the Stanley JDM's, but if you want the same look for half the price, the DEPO's will be just fine.

Basically yeah he does, but he wrecked the 4th gen and he's gettin' a 5th gen...

If you get the depo ripoffs will they be able to pass inspection? b/c Ive noticed it doesnt say SAE or DOT approved on the lenses...
