Difference between EDM and JDM headlights other than beam pattern.

SinhCredible · 05-28-2005, 09:28 PM

I got EDM headlights shipped to me but in the guy reused a box and he still had the packing slip from a previous purchase. The packing slip said had JDM headlights in the invoice. How do I make sure they're edm other than the beam pattern.

It has a DOT mark on the lens of the headlight. I heard that only EDM headdlights say DOT and the JDMs don't.

There are 3 plugs on the backside of the EDM's and the JDM non-HID's have only 2. The plug above the vertical adjustment knob is for the leveller. JDM non-HID's don't have that.

JDMs say DOT on them too. DOT doesn't really mean anything worthwhile.
