"Just becuase its painted black, its not JDM". we should modify this to:

The term "JDM headlamp" is more assosiated with the higher end Japanese cars; Silvia's, Type-R's, S2000, etc, not so much just the Civics.

sure clearing your headlights will look almost the same, but its great to see that someone actually carries original parts for our cars.
Its like a DC5 painting their headlight housings black/dark gunmetal, bc its ALMOST the same as oem jdm, but most people dont realize that the clear plastic actually has a bronze tint along with a dark color housing. clearing is just not the same if you truly want geniune jdm parts.
