if they are real ctr they should use h4h not h4 so they will not work. if they are replicas they should use h4 but without the glare shield you will blind the **** outta people.

just buy the h4h rebase kit not sure where to find it someone on here will though

what is the rebase kit? does it do something to my current h4's so that they will plug into the headlights? man i don't know what to do because i spent a lot of money on this h4 hi/low kit from xenon depot

p.s they are real ctr headlights

a rebase kit will allow you to put the h4 directly into the h4h slot in the headlight but there will be glare problems and the part of the headlight that normally lights up the curb will light up the middle of the road (drivers on the other side) and there will be problems with glare with no glare caps

what kind of glare shield because if its like the stock one then you will be ok otherwise there will nothing infront of the light and light will not be reflected back into the headlight it will be projected in all directions including the eyes of oncoming drivers

wrong. real CTR's are still h4. jdm eg and da lights use h4h. hid glare on JDM CTR lights is pretty bad.. there was a thread in the past 2 days about this.
