    Indigo Ink Corolla with JDM Headlamps

    Anyone has black JDM headlights on their indigo ink corolla? I want to get them, but I don't know if they would look good on a blue rolla. Please give me some comments and suggestions. Thanks.

    It's funny how no one knows that JDM stands for. If it was true JDM headlights, they would not fit at all.


    Just in case the above statement is not understood, JDM=Japanese Domestic Market, so basically parts that are avaliable in Japan or cars that are bought in Japan are called JDM. Well if it was a true JDM headlight, it would like headlights in the in the link....which of course it doesn't. I really hate it when JDM or Altezza or whatever new catchphrase is used to descibe parts when those phrases have nothing to do with the part. Argh! Drives me crazy and I also see JDM this and that when they are not JDM. Anyways....enough of my rant.

    the whole mis-use of "JDM" is from Ebay. They put JDM in the auction title to help get hits to their product. And then the guy that bought it figures it was JDM, so he keeps it going. Its good for the seller coz the price stays a bit higher. And the seller thinks he is a real JDM freak, when really he is overpaid, and under educated on proper tuning procedures.

    604, is that you Ken?

    Yea. if not, I had black housing headlights on my car (JDM as people want to call it) and it does not look good in real life. In pictures, the reason it looks decent is because of the picture quality makes the light almost the same color as the body of the car!

    I do custom A-Spec (Euro-Spec) lights for many cars up here in Toronto. I have a set going to be put onto my car soon!

    Its blue housing on our blue cars. I did one black housing for another 03 corolla here in Toronto too. As well, I did a moonshadow housing for a 04. haha.. i looks decent, too bad I do not have pics... but they are pretty sweet.

    black housing usually looks good on light cars, not on dark cars (except black).

    If you wanted black housing earlier, I woulda given mine to you for $100 US no prob. I sold mine for like $100 CDN hahaa.. cause it looks nasty in real life.

    Jae...I can't wait to see those blue housing headlights on your car. They sound really awesome! I want blue housed headlights, too. I've seen them on the magenta Rolla that someone posted awhile back...obviously painted magenta color...and they look sweet!!

    And thanks for your opinion on the black housing headlights on our cars. I was thinking about them as well...and now that I've heard they look like crap, I'm not gonna get them. So thanks for the heads up!

    I happen to like black "JDM" lights and Indigo Ink. That's all that matters to me.

    Since you have gunmetal rims I would go with carbon fiber.

    Finally somebody said something. If it's all black: black housed head lights, black grill, and black tail lights, along with 18 inch black rims with a polished lip on an indigo corolla itz str8.
