Do all the people in Las Vegas talk like that?

I'm going to Vegas next week, and from the sounds of it, I might need a translator.

My point is, if you spoke like a semi-literate human being, we might understand what exactly you're asking.

If you live in Las Vegas, like your location says, and if everyone in Vegas talks like you, then I'll need a translator to understand you guys when I'm there visiting this week.


Thumbs down to poor grammar, broken-english speaking people.

I was thinking about doing this a while back but I think there was all this hassle involved with wiring or something and it looked like such a pain that I decided to just drop it. There may be something in the how to section.
If it's because you want it to look like a JDM headlight you can get it painted..
If it's because you want the fog lights.. it may be more hassle than it's worth

i went from usdm hid to jdm hid. the only thiing that needs to be changed is the foglight harness. i had a shop splice the wires and they work fine. just be prepared to drive down dark roads with your highbeams on, otherwise they are fine. jdm are 9006 i believe, i forget usdm ( maybe H something..)

kreeker: that was a detinate answer. and i got that definate answer by using the search button.

the stock hid will drop in the jdm housing. the foglight needs to be spliced as it is a different style light. you will need to buy 9006 foglight bulbs for the jdm housing. thats about as definitive as it gets.

for oem hid guys, youwill still be able to use your headlight adjuster. youre welcome

If you check out the vendor forums Z1 performance sells the JDM MR headlights with a harness for the fogs, you can use your aftermarket HID kit and you just need to get some 9006(JDM fog bulbs) and plug everything up.
