These headlights, what bulbs do they take for low and high beams? My low beam just burnt out after 2 weeks. POS.

Should be H1's for low and high beams.

YEp H1 they are...now the hard part...the bulb install.

Of course these being cheapass, poorly designed headlights theres a bizzare mechanism to install them. Its kinda like the heatsink/fan clips on crappy computer heatsinks in your PC.

Does ANYONE have these lights? Can you take a picture of the clip on the back of the low beams or describe how it goes? Otherwise I will have to take the bumper off..loosen the fender, maybe the splashguard and then ease out the other light to see how to put it back together.

Better yet a diagram or whatever....

Bonus points for taking pics or video of the high beam too. I just ordered some Phillips Xtreme power bubs and thats up next for the high beams.

It will take me quite a while to do this...dark now....but if I do i'll take some video of it myself but a pic would make this alot faster and then I could post a video too.

I know how the bulb clips in looks cheap, but that is exactly how every H1, H3, H4, and a few H7 bulbs clip in.

The thing you're going to find out is that there are fitment issues on almost every projector I have every done. I use a round file to open up the housing. Basically the projector bulb needs the return wire to be facing towards the bottom, in order to get the light to aim properly.

Unfortunately, don't have any pictures because we haven't done a 92-95 locally. But you're definitely take the headlights off the car to install the HIDs.

Oh and for wiring the HID bulbs up to the projectors. T-Taps. Just use the original wiring that's on the headlights, but use T-Taps to get a power signal from the headlight socket.

Just take your time.

I'm not putting in HID's my low beam just burnt out and I'm putting in a 4$ sylvania bulb so I don't get pulled over.

MrLeWayne

$4 is better than a $130 ticket

i also changed the bulbs on my car. this thing is taking me a while to do. my 95 civic is in a great condition but still feel to change a few parts and maybe go for small upgrades like the suspension and brakes. maybe next summer.

yeah...the clip is a pain in the ***..
