Default jdm accord headlight wireing

I just got a set of official jdm headlights for my 94 accord. does any one know how to wire these correctly? I tried searching everywhere but I had no luck.

Either it is black housing with jdm corner or 1 piece headlight I think.

afaik, the JDM are either the usual chrome or the blacked out ones. there is no 1-piece headlight and corner other than the ebay ones

they use h4 low/ h1 high beam and u gotta get harness and splice them in and they should have a clip for u so they will lock on. Just color match and splice them.
There are no such thing as 5th generation 1 piece jdm headlights!

color match and splice
sure the box said plug and play... but its more like plug and snip and tape and play.

Can you say Ghetto-rig.

just figure out which wires go to the high and low beam before you cut them. there should be 2 for each bulb. as for the double to single corner bulb thing, just make sure you wire the bulb to the wire that flashes. i do believe you will be without parking lights.

could you post a pic of the lights and the type of wireing setup it has and maybe that would help.

I can't post pics but the H4 has three wires coming from it I assume one is for high beams
but usdm uses the other bulb as a high beam.
is it safe to just cross the highbeam over to the other bulb. Also are you sure th corner light is supposed to blink? do jdm accords use side markers?
Thanks for the help ,I think we're getting somewhere. lol.

the corners should come on and staylit when you turn on your headlights (1st setting should be corners and dash only) but they should blink when you turn on your blinker so that cars can see your turn signal at an inter section. as for the third wire thing im really not sure where it should go. trial and error i guess. my high beam is h3(inside) and my lowbeam is h1(outside) mine both only had two wires, a red lead and a ground.
