    They're not really black. They call it black chrome, but it looks more like a shiny gray, maybe like a lighter gunmetal.

    Yeah if you look closely, you'd notice that the inner shells are tinted a little darker than ours. Look up Type-X's car. He's got the type R lights on his EP.

    Those are the non-HID lights...the HID JDM lights are darker.

    I know how the lighting works, just want to know the difference in these JDM NON-HID headlights and JDM HID headlights (besides the tint color) that others are selling.

    I recently visited JDM Honda Parts store and bought some goodies for my EP, but I also bought JDM headlights for my S2000, which they say are non-HID headlights. I was confused about this at first because all S2000's came with HID's, but non-HID headlights just meant that it did not come with the HID ballasts and bulbs. I don't know if it's the same for the EP's, but it could be the case.
