winnipegsubaru Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Hey guys, can someone point me to where I might be able to buy a set of JDM HID headlights that work with the USDM cars... I have read alot about them but cant seem to find them. Any help would be great... Oh, they would be for a 2006 Legacy Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesA Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Please remember in Japan they drive on the left side of the road. That means the headlight beam patterns would be the mirror image of what you would need for North America. JDM lights would be perfect for blinding drivers in the oncoming lane and they would not illuminate the right side of the road adequately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocoholic005 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Headlight angle can be adjusted to fix this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnipegsubaru Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 And there is also a walk thru on these forums to swap the shields to correct that problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesA Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Interesting. I decided some time back to just go with the Osram Rallye+65 bulbs which have been great. +700 lumens of pure white light for just a few extra bucks using the stock fixtures -- keep it simple, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnipegsubaru Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 Yeah I passed simple a while back.... I really like the idea of the JDM HID Headlights... So if anyone knows where to purchase them from that would be awsome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmrider Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Check the Vendor Specific Forums on the main screen. JSC imports them on occasion, JapanParts will import them for you by request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leke Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Check with HKC-Speed for a used set in excellent condition. Japanparts can get them, but you'll pay an absolute fortune for brand new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Why can't we just swap the whole projector assembly on the new ones? Swap left & right and presto -- they're ready for LHD use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Power-B Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Interesting. I decided some time back to just go with the Osram Rallye+65 bulbs which have been great. +700 lumens of pure white light for just a few extra bucks using the stock fixtures -- keep it simple, etc. I am pretty sold on these bulbs. I have heard nothing but praise about them. I am still trying to get an image of what they look like. If you can supply a picture or two that would be sweet! What are you running for your high beams? +100 for keeping it simple..our legacys have great projector headlight housings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbc84 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 How bout German Legacy's they drive on the right and should have HIDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty2Hotty Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Not sure why Euro and JDM stuff always seams to be wayyyy cooler then US stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnipegsubaru Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 I just like that its an OEM HID headlight housing... These should have been offered in north america in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Headlight angle can be adjusted to fix this issue. You have to take the headlight apart and swap or mod the projector shutters in order to alter the beam. It's definitely a DIY thing but it involves patience and a steady hand.

jedraz Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I had thought about this, and found the lights. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/anyone-have-experience-these-headlightsi-134405.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seville_sv Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Hi, you could check a mexican Subaru dealer if you live near the border, here we hace the JDM or EDM Legacy I don´t know which and the light pattern is the right one they are HID and I think they are bi-xenon, but still they are pretty expensive around 1,200dls each one. Hope it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnipegsubaru Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 I was told that there are many versions of these headlights, and If I am not mistaken, rev a-c will fit a USDM Legacy but e - whatever they are up to will not fit our USDM's. Thanks Seville.... I am trying to find anyone who imports these into the US or Canada, as so far HKC is where everyone is pointing me, but they have yet to reply to any of my emails. Also, I think this is the longest running thread I have ever started in this forum. Thanks to everyone for all there usefull information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 That is one steep price for them headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnipegsubaru Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 The Price of a new set of OEM headlights is around the 500 mark... and yes these would be used... but they are a true HID headlight.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
