Arrow Do JDM Headlight Fitment

I have a USDM FD 93 and am getting ready to buy some used 99 spec popup head lights because my motors are burned out in mine.

Will they fit? Any connectivty issues?

Thanks for the help,

Jon

Jon,

The motor, bucket and everything will bolt up the same, but you'll want to reuse your USDM headlight housings since the beam pattern will be incorrect otherwise.

I was going to mention the same thing. I bought some Japanese headlights for a different car of mine (Protege5). They looked killer with the black housings, but the beam pattern was terrible. I ended up trading them for a set of German ones that looked like JDM but were made for a LHD car.

The bike lane was lit up perfectly though!

Yeah and I went the opposite way once and put USDM headlights in one of my Aussie cars once. God, how do you guys drive with that beam pattern?
