im doing a jdm front end on my 95gsr and already have the rad support in but the passenger side headlight wont fit in without hitting the abs. now of all the threads i have read about doing type r front ends i have never seen anything about having to move or remove the abs. anybody know whats up with this

 

come on now i know there is somebody out there that has to know what im talking bout it the ballest on the hid hitting the abs

 

take out the ABS, its overrated anyways. =p

Bump for answers*

 

yea the thought had crossed my mind but if i dont have to i dont want to.....also does anybody know for sure 100% the wiring order cus i have read a couple of different things regarding how the light should be

like:first click should turn on your city lights

2nd click the low beams should come on with the city light's also on

then you can flip the high beam on and the high, low's and the city lights will be on.

I have my foglights wired to the jdm switch.

the corner lights and the sidemarkers should come on when you hit the turn signals.

 

if u hav ehte hid's then u need to 1) remove your 94-97 abs completely or 2) get a hold of the 98+ abs and install it to clear the ballast and there 3 move your existing abs to get it to fit. if u got the non hid setup then it suppose to fit fine with the abs there. the wiring doesnt matter unless u really **** on the correct order. i have my city lights connected to a fog switch on my armrest then the fogs to another fog switch where my cruise switch used to be, first click parking lights, second lows, and then highs.

 

I read that some ppl move the abs backwards...u have to drill new holes.

 

my boy figured out a way around it and still kept the stock abs

 

there is a step by step write up on how to do a jdm front end with instructions and pictures on team-integra.net Search for it, its very helpful

Mind sharing? pics?

 

naw i dont mind sharing once i get done and everything it will be a couple of more days at the shop cus im getting some other stuff done too.

 

The 98+ Integra's had different/smaller ABS units. That was the same year the JDM models where fitted with HID headlights. Hence, 98+ JDM HID headlights will have issues with 94-97 model Integras with the larger ABS units.

But props to getting the HID versions. I've always wanted those.

 

You can most likely scratch the idea of converting to 98+ ABS. The differences are quite numerous, including a different pump/modulator unit, different master cylinder, different hard line and line routing, possibly even a different ABS computer. Most likely there are different electrical connections between the ABS and other components that you might never find.

The only possibility would be to have a 94-97 ABS wiring diagram and a 98+ diagram side-by-side, along with a donor car that you could pull all the ABS-related components from.

Otherwise you need to push your existing ABS unit back a bit, or remove it altogether and get RS Integra brake lines and prop valve.

 

naw its cool we are gonna make it work its kinda cool how we did it really simple just relocate the ballest and the bang more then enuff room i will post up pics....cool thing is it didnt require a fab to the abs stuff

 

This is what I did....of course this is also temporary......

 

you can disconnect the ballast from the headlight and moun it to the side of it

 

hmmm this could be rite what u stated. im not sure tho, but my friend did his with the 98 abs and he "claims" he just bent the lines to get it to fit and that was all he did. i dunno. i guess i should do more research on this cuz im about to convert my new teg i just got. ill let u know whati find out in a few days.

 

any night pictures of the HID?

 

Unfortunately I don't have any....but I do know that several members here do have them ....somewhere....

Well I hope he was extremely careful when he "bent" the lines. One kink and he's SOL....

 

oh yea i have another ? but its none frontend related. is the stock white i have on my 95dc2 the same as the s2000 white...i read somewhere that they are both grandprix white but i wasnt sure

 

no the s2k is grand prix white, integras are frost white or taffeta white. since yours is a 95 id say its frost white.

 

ok i got everything on and it looks great but the after marketlip that i bought from jdmshit doesnt fit its about a half inch short guess i should have just paid the extra cash and went with oem. so does anybody know anyone thats selling an oem lip or a poly lip that u know for sure will fit.

 

ok i think i found one from l0wboost.JSP he is a member here on honda-tech but does anybody know anything about this guy like is he straight or what

 

Im thinking about taking my OEM lip off...shoot me an offer
