JDM Kouki Headlights?
So i'm thinking about swapping my s14 Zenki front end into Kouki, and I need a second opinion on this. I'm ordering the entire JDM front end, which has everything up to the headlights. To my understanding, the lighting for the JDM lights require some mods to get it "street legal" (such as adjusting the projector angle?) Should I just purchase the USDM Pair? I understand either way, there's wiring work, but this way the lighting should be legal. Any insight? Also, for JDM Kouki tails, are they plug and play with US cars or is there extra wiring involved?
I've tried searching on these, but direct insight on this may be more helpful.

The JDM tails are plug and play but don't use all of the usdm bulbs. You can drimel out the hole in the JDM tails to install the extra bulbs if you want.
As far as the fronts go you can either make your own cutoff shields to install or do a HID retrofit with different projectors. Either way requires opening up the headlight which is a pain in the ass.

jdm headlights are not as good as usdm
jdm headlights beam pattern is fucking backwards, correction cannot be made with aiming them lower installing an hid kit only amplifies the problem, which is why the above poster is an idiot dont use jdm headlights unless you plan on doing a full disassembly and replace the projector with one that can serve a purpose here in the US last and most importantly, dont be stupid |

JDM Kouki Tails use reflectors on the side corner pieces...no bulb in there. I would not suggest "drimeling" a hole just so you can stick a bulb in there. Why fuck with it? |
