JDM IX MR Headlights vs. JDM VIII MR Headlights on a TB I

Ps: Thread title is supposed to be ..TB IX, not I lol. So for a tarmac black evo 9

Which do you guys think will look better/ have pics?

The IX MR JDM headlights are chrome black and the VIII MR JDM headlights are flat black. I like both but I think the flat black tends to look better on darker or black cars. Not 100% sure though.

The IX MR JDM headlights are the same color as the USDM IX headlights, with just the amber on the bottom. Sometimes the JDM IXs look pretty good but sometimes they have this washed out/hazy look to them that I really hate.

Opinions?

USDM:


JDM IX MR:







VIII MR (on an VIII, couldn't find a pic of VIII MR heads on a TB IX):



it's hard not to be fooled just from the fact that the third picture is so much better qual

+1 for VIII MR, they're flat black versus a gloss black for the IX's, correct? They look amazing.

I have the VIII MRs and have seen many a JDM IX MR. Def go VIII MR! The flat black just looks totally black in all light where the IX looks chrome in some light and not as good on TB IMO.

chrome black for IXs, yep. The flat black really seems to work for TB cars....

Personally, the 8 MR heads are by far nicer looking. Although, they both look much better in person.

Hope this helps.
