Default who has switched to aristo headlights?

Just picked up a set cheap on ebay, and i was wondering how you guys wired in the extra "city" light, i was figuring on just wiring it into the outer marker/turn signal bulb wiring.

You guys have any pics?

there is a difference between jdm and usdm headlights? I assumed they'd be angled differently, due to driving on the opposite side of the road?

The way they come on the Aristo is when you turn on the ignition or car the city light will come on and stay on like the IS300 if you want to do it this way just look for an accesory that comes on with the ignition switch and tap into that

are these the same thing? They say Aristo, but they have the orange corner lens. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-94...41212313QQrdZ1

do you guys ever get flashed? because the cutoff/step for those should be opposite of USDM. I would think you would be blinding oncoming traffic here in the us.

I like the way they look tho.

btw JPGS300 nice gs.

Default Those on ebay are USDM headlights not JDM.

Those headlights are to the GS300 not the Aristo. The Aristo ones have verticle lines all the way to the end of the corners and the corners have a molded piece that sticks out kinds like a clear reflector.

True, but people here want to be JDM. Not that it's bad...

I believe there is a difference between the JDM kouki and Zenki headlights, I brought a few sets over from Japan for friends. wireing is easy, you just tap into the constant side of your parkingor corner light, or you can just run it back to the ignition ... post up more picks ! ! ! !
