Getting close to decision time. Leaning towards JDM9MR's for my WW 9MR - the 8MRs sometimes looks really good, sometimes look too dark/hazy.. Please post pics!

PS: Has anyone bought either from Vivid Racing before & can confirm they're the correct MR headlights that work with our cars (plus harness?) Good deals from Vivid Racing

JDM 9 MR: M8301-A777/A778
JDM 8 MR: M8301-B717/B718

 

I've always kinda wanted to get a set of the headlights with the amber markers, but I don't like that the JDM ones are aimed for a RHD car.

Makes me wonder if I can get my hands on some EUDM ones.....

 

I don't think i'll mind - the evo's lights are already pointed super low as it is.

Trying to confirm part # (OP) for the MR headlights, as well as get an idea on how each look on a WW 9... the flat black tends to look way too dark in certain lighting imo - looks great on a sunny day though

 

Here are my JDM ones, I bought them from RHD Japan:

 

seems even darker than normal 8MR - though it definitely looks good. dilemmas. did you get the one with fog lights?

 

Yes, they have fog lights working, I don't have now a pic of the fog lights turning on, I will take one more late and I will share you.

 

you use the nokya harness? did you smoke the headlights afterwards, or they are stock jdm? man I wish we got yellow evos in the US

 

I'm not using the nokya harness, is just a local conversion, I did not smoke the headlights they are stock jdm.

 

There is a NON-HID JDM headlight for both 8 and 9 as well. Using the 9 MR or 8 MR part number will guarantee that the headlight is HID.

 

We did get yellow evos.

 

ordered, hope I got the right one! (9MR, so must be HID)

I guess I meant yellow 9s - forgot we got yellow 8s!

 

VIIIs for light or vibrant cars to create contrast, like white, yellow, red, silver etc. IXs for dark colors to match glossy paint, mostly just black, but maybe graphite gray and blue as well.

VIII flat black looks awkward on my black car, the IX glossy stuff looks way better. If I had a white RS on the other hand, it would definitely be VIIIs.

 

to me it's almost too much contrast.. we'll see, I ordered the 9MRs, i'll post pics once they're on the car!
