Headlight specs?

Are the headlights 9005? or H something? And I've been looking at converting to the JDM clear taillights but they are kinda expensive...what does everyone think about the conversion lenses on ebay for like $21? This is just the lense, not the enite aseembly. Do you guys think that it would be the same?

those "conversions" are just basically the stock tail lamps taken apart and changing out the color of the lense. They look like the stock tail lamps with the lenses changed.

The JDM tail lights however look totally different. Yes the lower section is white but there are also lines that go across the whole assembly. The black is darker, the interior edges are chromed, they just look better period.

go to www.courtesyparts.com and look at the pics.
or search tnkrstoyco, he has a close up of the jdm tails in his signature.
