well. the title is a lil extreme haha.

But I got everything off, went to put my headlights on and the plugs one fit! wtf! I wasent told this. So what do I do now? is this something I can buy at a autoparts store? can I DIY this thing? I am confused and frickin tired of working on this car for about 3 hours now. Its hard to explain how they are diffrent. But somebody please help!

jdm headlights use h4 for low beams and h1 for high beams. that's why they wont plug into the stock harness. you can pick up a h4 "pig tail" or "repair harness" from most autoparts stores. it plugs into the back of the h4 bulb, and u need to splice it into the factory wiring. there are 3 wires on the h4, but u only need to use 2 of them. i forget which ones tho.

the h4 harness should also fit on the bulb holder for the highbeam

 

well....when you bought them werent you told that you have to modify them a little? The JDM "style" ones are plug and play. The beam pattern will be more on the passenger side than the driver side cause in Japan its RHD. good luck.

 

the "jdm style" are exact replicas, except they come with conversion harnesses (9006 -> h4 and 9005 -> h1). you could easily make these harnesses with parts from any autoparts store.

 

No i was not told this. Ah. my cars going to have to sit like this over night. I wanted it to done too! :wtc: but w/e. I will run to the autoparts store tomorrow. Thanks..

Didn't I tell you that a conversion harness is needed in the jdm headlight thread you made last month?

 

research!

 

Yeah you did tell me. But I was told I can just DIY right there. Which I can tell I cant unless I got and get the parts. I know you dident tell me this. But its cool. Im running to the Auto-parts store right now...

well most jdm headlights will come with the harness and like 2-3" of cut wires so you can just splice it and diy. but maybe yours didnt?

 

Mine dident. But I got them in! they are sweet! I think they loook a lot better then the DIY ones.
