Anyone remember usc's website? 56k warning

[HenRoc]

Anyone here remember USC's website about his car? I'm trying to find it because I wanted to know the differences between the USDM headlamps and E-Code (euro spec head lamps) in terms of light flare (basically where the light refracts too).

I know for a fact that the JDM headlamps flare to the left to compensate for the RHD car and USDM is vice versa.

I found a set of very RARE headlamps for my 5G...and I don't think I'll ever come across them again in my life unless I go to Europe myself.

And there's no way these are going to be ruined with a retrofit.

Theres no way a retro can ruin anything....it only ever makes it better lol

But if your spending alot of money on headlights I can understand the reluctance to cutting those bitches open

and those do look pretty good as is

Dude if they happen to be RARE I wouldn't even touch them before I did some research on the light output once a retro fit was done..because as far as I know right now.

Everyone and their mother has 'depo' headlamps including myself but I'm kinda second guessing the retro-fit.

:ninja edit:

From what I've read about the lights they are 'fluted' which means it spreads light out evenly..my only concern is if I even decided to get a retro-fit on these, I'm just worried about how and what the light output will look like once they're done.

Is it going to be ten times better than a depo 'JDM' retro-fit or is it going to just really suck.

Those are my only two concerns. Well one if you really want to get technical.

Bump?

Ive seen those on eBay a few times. Refracting light through glass is such old tech, I cant imagine why they were still using it.

They do look cool though.

Usually honda lights are made by Stanley. That should be an indicator. But yea I dunno more pics would help such as on the back of the headlight assembly or something.

Oh they are actual Stanley's .





E-code stamped:





I did find out that the HID would look like crap if they were retro-fitted on here...so I may back off on these head lamps.

youd just have to get rid of the bumps on the glass.....they did it a few months ago in a modified mag to an older acura....turned out pretty good

Link please

Plus the bumps are inside as opposed to the outside.

Ill try and find the mag....but their bumps were on the inside too (i think)....I remember they used something stupid easy to wear down the bumps....Ill try and find that issue.

zukko.com/julian.... don't think it exists anymore? He used my picture from circa 6 years ago before I had a digi cam to compare them to the jdm headlights. His are basically the opposite flare of these, but I parked to close to the wall for it to come out decently. His you could really notice. They were nice headlights. And he had a HID setup that worked very well. I might have some of the pictures of my old computer. I'll have to check.

WOW!!

those look are the rare 1.8 CD3 lights!! They are of the lens-optic design. Very olskool!

HID will look like poo in those

I didn't even know that and I've seen that car about 5 times now lol. Yeah I heard the flutes will make the light out put real crappy.

I think usc's ece set were allot different as well, I think they were clear but the light out was real different.

[blizzard335]

Actually, HIDs will work with lens-optics, the CF4 has it

Not ery clear in this pic of Fobs' car, but you get the idea


but the CF4's lens is more heavily fluted to make it work with the HID and also the cutoff is clearly defined as well.

Fobs got a new car?
