if you really want city lights there are knockoff ones on ebay sometimes
they look decent I guess and cost around 1/3 of what the actual jdm ones do

what some people do back in the days was split the wires and squeeze the city light bulb in between the headlamp socket.





opt auto sells those kits

of course, then you'd have to drill your chrome housing, as well.

personally, I would say, if you want city lights, get JDM lamps. They're well worth the investment :thumbup:

eh, here in the states, its just bling, really. I like driving around at dusk with my headlamps off when I can show them off
:werd: u just can beat the look of JDM. I also go the JDM tail so im liking it.

no cutting/drilling. just tapped the wires into my parkings lights. the metal rings sandwhich between the bulb and housing, the wires fit thru the holes in the base of the h4 bulb

TYC makes a set of headlights;



Not projectors or anything, but supposedly they could also accomodate 194/168 bulbs as an optional "daytime running light". These sell for a little over 100 bucks.
