If you look closer madmaxx you can see the edgs of the silver housing are rippled instead of plain like the ukdm/jdm ones.

Also they have 3 nipples on the glass, 3 nipples, now thats weird. Razz

I know that the wiring and plugs are different as I had lights from the states in my old lude (JDM style, but looked awesome)

They run 9004 and 9005 bulbs (or 9005 / 9006, can't remember Razz ) and are basically on or off, whereas the UKDM / JDM ones have dual filament bulbs on them for the sidelight and dipped beam, and then the light closest to the nostril for the high beams.

But IIRC aren't the lights closest to the nostrils on USDM lights the running lights? I've seen loads of pics of USDM ludes with the lights closest to the nostrils on with no other lights on, which we can't do on UKDM / JDM lights

Ratty, are you sure you are not talking about these?



many confuse these with USDM and say they are the same, which is not true.

yeah, the USDM headlights are made of glass, and those nipples are weird. I don't know what they signify??

The 1990-1993 Accord also received the 2 piece glass headlights with the nipples.
