Couple of Newb Questions

Post by Trailblazer »

What does JDM mean??

What are the best replacement headlights to put in a 91'?

Thanks

JDM = Japanese Domestic Market

SS = Sport Sedan (a Turbo Legacy)

You can put 90 or 91 headlights in your 91, do some searching on that. They will get yellow, and their beam patterns suck. If that's your concern, you'll have to live with it :(

Scott and Flip are both right. Xtravisions are about the best you're going to do with your stock wiring and everything. But if you've got real yellowed headlights, nothing is going to give you exceptional lighting, especially if you have headlights as bad as us 90-91 people do.

Yeah mine are pretty yellow, but I just bought a set from Tristan that he had cleaned and clearcoated... I'm a lazy ass! I'm going to put them on today.
