Sorry to say but niether one of those links are True "jdm" or even real Oem Lol .
I guess cause they're yellow the are automatically JDM ??? Fyi Yellow lens on fog lights are illegal in califorina as it didn't come stock so therefore you modified your lighting ( I got a ticket for the same thing )

Neither brand is JDM or OEM. That's the same as the kit I sell, except they don't give you the OEM wiring kit and detailed install instructions to go with the kit.

do you guys (other than garm) know what JDM or OEM stand for and mean in terms of the USDM?

JDM= Japanese Domestic Market
OEM=Original Equipment Manufacture

I know what it means, i was asking the OP because of the context in which he/she was asking, I wanted to make sure they knew the difference, and how they related to the US market.

thanks though

A yellow bulb will light up yellow - that's what you get the ticket for, right?

With that said, I have yellow fogs (yellow lenses AND yellow bulbs) and I wave at cops -- never had a problem.

Yeah, I know tons of people with yellow fogs and I've never heard of anyone getting pulled over for them.

i was visiting FL last month and got pulled over by the local redneck sheriff dept and was giving me crap about my lights and was saying something that my fogs are yellow and yellow foglights can only be ran when its foggy out. I was only in state for a few days so i just shut them down and went on my way.
