I was just looking around EBay, and saw JDM cobalt headlights. Doesnt "JDM" stand for Japan Domestic Market? How can Chevy Cobalts have JDM lights out there? From what I can tell they are just lights that have a black housing. Did I miss something? Just wondering. Maybe its just to get the listings into more searches but.......

 

its just a label they put on parts to try sell them, nothing special

 

link??

 

I'm not sure how to place links, so I just cut and pasted:

And another:

Sorry for my lack of know how.

 

Jdm......

 

JDM.. hahahah

unless these are the headlights that are on the cobalts sold in japan.. they are morons.

 

I think they are just refering to "JDM Styling". It's just ghey, haha.

 

LOL LOL LOL and again LOL. JDM is Japanese domestic market. Though what they are talking about there is the styling of the headlight, those don't look too bad....I guess if you were lazy and didn't want to just black your own headlights out on the inside then that wouldn't be such a bad idea.

 

Sweet...I'm gonna convert my Cobalt to straight JDM, with right hand drive and everything..First thing on my shopping list is a pair of these.

 

you did it correctly....

what gets me with those lights is the $47 shipping charge...WTF sounds like CA

 

That's Why You Never Buy **** Off Ebay!

 

I hear you....

where in Cali are you..?

 

no no no, that is JBP or J-Body Performance NOT JDM

 

well they did have a JDM cavalier so why not a JDM cobalt...iirc it was a toyota cavalier

 

Look like standard Cobalt headlights to me, just the chrome part is black.

 

Yeah but for $150 thats kinda expensive.

 

Thats what I was going to say. I haven't heard of a Japanese version of the Cobalt....but they did have the JDM Cavalier......

 

there are companies on Ebay named JDM. I don't know if its so they can get american parts and still say its "JDM" or what but I've seend the actual seller or company called "JDM."
And yes, i know what JDM stands for before I get flamed as well lol.

 

Its all about context... in this context they are trying to play the "japanese" part of it.

Yes it can mean other stuff.. but they are definately trying to make you think "japanese domestic market" because it sells alot of stuff in the import scene.
