Hello,

I have a 96 spec non-abs model JDM ITR. I have the chance of picking up a pair of 98 spec jdm HID headlights. Are the 98 spec ITR HID headlights plug and play with the 96 spec ITR, or is there any kind of special hardware I will need to make the upgrade? I want to stay as oem as possible.

thanks

 

are the JDM 98 spec oem HID headlights plug and play with the JDM 96 spec non-abs ITR?

 

anybody?

 

It should be plug and play ( well...for me it was ), but do a search for the wiring diagram for the harness just for safety's sake.

 

anyone else to back this up?

 

There plug and play,...however I think the switch was up-graded.

 

I dont know about the switch, but I do know they plug right in. Now you will have to get a windsheild washer fluid tank from a type R with HIDs. The ballast sits to far back on the driver side and interferes with the filler tube.

 

Correct. In a non-abs ITR they are plug n play. If you had ABS u would have to switch to the smaller 98 spec ABS.

94-97 have a bigger abs module which the hid ballast hits/rubs/touches it. 4 options to get around this. 1. bend the hardlines alittle 2. relocate the ballast 3. change to 98+ abs unit 4. just get rid of the abs all together.

MUGEN2PT2: which switch are you talking bout?

 

thanks for all your guys help

 

I anyone needs the 98 spec jdm itr windshield washer fluid bottle for the HID conversion, go <u>here</u>

 

well I plugged the oem hid's into my 96 spec non-hid headlight harness and NO HID. Only the fog lights and city lights turn on. I have no power to the low beam HID lights and high lights. So these are <u>not</u> plug and play with the 96 spec heaglights harness. It seems the wire pattern in the connector is different. It seems I may need to add another wire to my 96 spec harness for the HID low beams to work. I have only 4 wires connecting to the male end connector and I'm pretty sure the 98 spec HID headlight male end connector has 5 wires connecting to it(5th for HID low beam current).

**Please help**

Is there anything I can do to make the hid work with out having to rewire anything? I'm clueless when it comes to wiring.

I also have the extra plug from the holagen lowbeam just hanging since it has no place to plug into on the OEM HID headlights. Could this still be used?

thanks
