    on second glance are these the headlights with automatic adjusters?

    yes. super easy.
    simply colour match the wires from the car to the harness of the H4 bulb.

    If it is JDM they will be H4H bulbs. EDM and NZDM glass headlights have H4.
    Be warned the JDM headlights are useless :lol:

    They wont have automatic adjusters though

    as in they suck for visual help at night?

    Yea my ones are terrible, I even have aftermarket bulbs in to brighten them up (HID kits are illegal here)
    When I was doing a lot of night driving I installed a set of small spotlights to assist.

    Im looking at changing to NZDM glass headlights in the future

    Mine are the bees knees. I have no trouble with the light output at all. However I did the wiring upgrade where the OEM wiring only fires a relay and then I used some large gauge wire to run power from the battery through a fuse and the relay to power the lights. No unnecessary power loss due to wiring that's inadequate.

    In all fairness I am used to the factory HID's in my Integra, but still compared with other cars ive owned they are pretty average. Not to mention I have to keep polishing them up to stop them going yellow all the time

    I would do that, but its illegal here. For good reason too, Im sick of being blinded by people with HID kits in non HID housings
