Ive searched and i couldnt find exaclty what i needed. I need a diagram of how the jdm headlights are wired, what kinda bulbs they use, and anything else on how to set them up for a conversion from usdm to jdm. Thanks

You must have searched with the wrong words

 

So when i get the headlights to install them, will it come with that connector, or do i have to buy one? plus do i just plug that one connector in to connect all the lights in the assembly?

 

Or you can just cut off the connectors and just match the colors on the wires. That would make things a bit easier than trying to find a JDM male connector.

 

So i should just cut the ends off and connect them to where it goes on the headlight.? Im sry for all these questions, im terible with wiring and im trying to make it as simple as i can. Ive never really done work to the car as big as this so when it comes to the welding and the wiring im lost, but the rest is just bolt on. I already know someone who will weld for me.

the headlight you should get comes with that already on it. What would be preferable is that you get the "plug" that goes into it from the harness from a JDM DC Integra. Otherwise....male end connectors would be an option, or.....if you feel confident enough, you can make your own connections. But I wouldn't solder them together if you decide to cut that part off. Taking the headlights off at that point would be a pain in the ***

 

So what your saying is with the wiring in the car now it wont work at all. And id either have to get a jdm dc wiring harness or make my own?

Are there any more better pics of it or a diagram showing the full setup

 

no your existing wiring will work. I actually had to rewire my car using my existing wiring harness for my usdm headlights after the body shop "miswired" my jdm front end Refer to the pic I posted. Find the wire that corresponds to the labeled lighting and wire accordingly using female end connectors if the other part of the "jdm" harness is not there. To clarify, the pic shows one side of the plug that comes on the jdm headlights. SOME TIMES, if you're lucky, you will get the other plug that plugs into it. Most of the time ( that I've seen ), you won't....so you'll have to use your existing wire from your car to make it work.

If I'm confusing you...send me a pm, I have to go to my buddies house to discuss an issue with him. I will respond as soon as I can.

 

So your saying, find the corrisponding wires to the right plug, put a female end on and plug it in, if it doesnt have the corresponding side. So that should only take like an hour or so to do that right? Now i get it.

 

ummm...you almost got it Look at the pic I posted again. It shows one part of a plug. That plug in the pic has male ends. The other plug I'm referring to that's found in the jdm tegs has female ends. So basically, plug an play. What I'm saying is...sometimes when you get the headlights from shops/ distributors, they will cut the harness leaving both plugs intact. One side of the plug is always wired into the headlight assembly ( this is the side shown in the pic ). The other side that plugs into the plug shown in the pic has wires running from it to your fuses, relays, switch, etc etc ( this plug has female connections corresponding to the plug shown in the pic....and its the same color ). But most of the time, they'll disconnect the plugs and only give you the headlights that have one side of the plugs.....causing you to find the corresponding wires in your usdm ride, use female end connectors and plug them into the harness plug on the headlight assembly to make them work. If you're still not sure what I'm talking about....refer to your existing wiring harness inside your engine bay. Notice how for example....behind your distributor, there are "plugs". And when you disconnect them, one side has male ends...the other side has female ends. This is what I'm referring to when I'm talking about those "plugs" for the headlights. Hope this wasn't too confusing

 

Im starting to get it. When I get the headlights ill see what it comes with.
