Shogun506 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Which has better lighting output/cutoff? I have a set of 6.0s in my headlights right now but also have a set of standard JDM rev a-c HID headlights. I'm happy with the 6.0s but if I can get better performance out of the JDM ones I'm happy to switch. Which to sell which to keep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedaykin Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Changing the shield since JDM is RHD? I put clear lenses in mine (Aussie HID, UK spec I believe), but the replacement bowls I got aren't that great, might change to fresher projectors. Don't like the foreground though (maybe that's the bowls). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering whether anyone knows if the JDM HIDs are brighter than USDM with HID retrofits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering whether anyone knows if the JDM HIDs are brighter than USDM with HID retrofits Check to see if the wattage is marked on the bulbs. They frequently range between 35 and 50watts. The OEM JDM HIDs come with 35w bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedaykin Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I think this should give you an idea http://www.jvxdriver.com/RX330%20vs.%20Mini%20H1%20Comparison.htm Apparently non-AFS RX330 are same as Maxima, which is same as our car (I put USDM Maxima bowls in my car, RHD, direct fit). Remember JDM = right hand drive. tl;dr I don't think they'll be brighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun506 Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Yeah the right hand drive doesn't matter I can flip them without a problem. I'll probably just keep what I have, I was mostly thinking about using them so I could wire up the self-levelling feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battelready Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Honestly i heard you dont even need to flip the shields. Most people just use the adjustment knobs to adjust them to US settings. I bought an auto be more involved in my uninvolvedness . 200k+ Club If you can't blind them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit. My high mileage turd.
