I got my JDM headlights, but what is the high beam? It's an H1 bulb right? My friend tried to tell me it's an H1C. Anyway I found a h4 harness but where can I get an H1 harness?

 

hey i had ur same problem i found them at an auto parts store it was a big one because the prong was bigger on the bulb i had but its like female spades

 

heres a pic of what i bought

heres a pic of it on the car


sorry if its big

 

Why do you have 2 prongs? Does the H1 bulb require 2 wires? Also is this plug and play with my car? I'll probaly have to do some splicing I assume right?

Is that what I need? I already found the H4 harness, now i just need the H1 so i can get my effin headlights working.

 

i dont know thats what i got and i brought the bulb and they fitted them and yea i had to cut the usdm harness hdlight put it in and connected to prong and now it works

 

So the H1 bulb needs two connecters per bulb?


What did you do for the H4 bulb? Buy a harness or jerry-rig ur own for that too?

 

yea so 4 total ohh i dont know about the low this used to be my sis car she had her friends fix it i think they just got a h4 harness and i dont know i can get a pic if u want

 

Your the man brother, if you could hook me up with a pic that would be sweet. Also how hard was it to splice and stuff. I've never done stuff like that before. Do i have to disconnect my batter while doing it?

 

yea i disconnected my negative umm the wiring i had my cousin do it im to shakey it took time but it was pretty easy i guess get the wires in the hole and crimp and for the h4 i guess they got a harness it had 3 wires from it red, red, and a black and they connected it to the usdm one here is a pic



there is one red wire that is not connected to another

 

So for the H4 harness something like this would work...

i really dont know if you have a junkyard it would be cheaper to get it there
if u want to know what cars would have the h4 go to luminicsbulbs.com and browse by manufactor it tells what bulb for what

 

Solder all your connections and shrink wrap them THEN wrap with a little electrical tape or wire loom. Those little twisty cap things are bogus for solid trouble free electrical connecitons. You especially dont want a live wirecomming lose and grounding to the frame of your car. Fried harness and blow fuses is no fun.

 

yea im going to electrical tape mine it came loose 3 days ago

 

So just to make sure the high beam on JDM headlights is an H1 bulb right? Cuz once again my friend tried to tell me it's an H1C which I don't even know if it exists. I'm going to go ahead and order the bulbs then.

 

Not sure about jdm 4th gen lights, but on a 5th gen both high and low beams are H1.

 

i dont know what a h1c is but yes high beam is h1 and low beam is h4

 

Luv you guys.

 

The H4 harnesses will also fit the H1 bulbs. The vertical prongs on the H4 and H1 have almost the exact same spacing . . . the H1 just lacks the 3rd horizontal prong on the top. You can use those heavy-duty harnesses on ebay, but unless you are running bulbs that are higher wattage than stock they are kinda unnecessary. I picked up my"normal-duty" H4 harnesses at Wal-Mart for ~$3 each.

 

yea i heard u could use the h4 for the h1 dang i bought those things for like 10 bucks for 50 of them

 

So yall are sure I can use H4 for everything? Just want to make sure, I don't want to go messing stuff up.

Yes, an H4 harness should fit an H1 bulb holder. Like I said, the spacing of the prongs is nearly identical . . . you just won't use the top-most prong when using an H4 harness on an H1 bulb (just the side ones).

 

the stock 5th gen harnesses are pretty much h4's thats why the h1's have an adapter

Yeah those little white bulb sockets that hold the H1's run about $19 EACH from honda . . . what a rip off.
