    Japan HID's...

    Did you all know that in Japan HID lights came standard on the NSX since 1997?? Maybe old news but I did not know this???
    Come on guys and drive those aluminum beauties and stop them from collecting so much dust, they won't rust, after all the world could end tonight, so driving them is a must...

    Yes, old news.

    There has been a number of threads on this. Many NSX owners, including myself, wanted to retrofit those lights on US models. The bottom line is that you are better off getting an aftermarket kit. The beam pattern is not suitable for US streets, and rewiring is required to make everything work.

    It's not a bolt on intallation.

    Well, at least the RHD lighting pattern would be correct...

    You have a choice with which harness, brackets blah blah when you buy the light housing, i'm going with the cheaper alternative, hid isn't that important to meh!

    I think the question would be though, is it legal and would you have after market support, considering i priced 02+ lights in Adelaide at Nordic Honda before i left and they cost double what i can get them here for in Japan! I'd hate to know the price in Oz

    "Oz" is sometimes used as an abbreviation/nickname for Australia.

    Either that, or it refers to these folks...
