It would be nice if they were a direct bolt in w/no mods, but the mods that need to be done to make em fit is extremely easy and only takes a few minutes. Don't trip, nothing to fret about. Just take a look at the pic I posted in the link aux provided above and you'll be good to go.

Yea, dont worry..the stock corner harness isnt cut right to fit a JDM depo lense. It says before you buy that to beware about the stock corners having two bulbs and the depo having one and you'll have to make a modification.

the harness isn't the issue, it's the headlight mounting bracket.

Mine are in so awfully. One fit in like a dream... for I was the one cutting the bracket. The other.. well, my friend was working on that. I heard a snap, and a rattle. He broke the entire left side of the bracket off (the part that has the two pins that fit into the metal of your car, and then accept the two pins from the corners). This made mounting awful. Infact, it's more or less wedged in there with an ugly ass gap, secured by zip ties. I don't even know what the hell to do.

If you want something done right, I guess you've got to do it yourself.
