Default JDM SiR Accord headlights for 5th gen: What size bulbs?

I picked up a set of JDM headlights and my OEM headlights do not fit right. Anyone know what I need to get them wired up right?

did you need anything else to make them work. Like you have to wire the light socket differently or something right?

it depends...my headlights came with a wire harness...so it plugged into my stock ones then converted the ends to H4s and whatever my low or high beams are...

if not...you'll need to cut off the ends and solder them together...
my harness looked something like this...


if you run into any problems..i happen to come across this...luckily...it appears that they sell different wire harnesses...

it was http://www.eaautoworks.com

its quicker and easier to just cut the oem socket and wire it directly into the bulbs

you can also get 9003 size bulb, which is the same exact size as the H4 only they sell them in pairs. saves a little money. H1 is the high beam, which, in my opinion, doesnt work very well.
