ugh are these jdm headlights? if the wires are there, you can't tell where they go? there isn't a clip on the end of the wires? more details or a pic would help.

also, if there is no clip you could always wire the lights up directly. just get a volt meter and see which wires have power going to them, and hook em up 2 the lights. thats how i figured out my jdm..

^-- all irrelevant. get a probe/multimeter and test the wires u have

red wire + black wire in the front is what you're looking for. So, turn the headlights on (even though u dont have headlights) and probe the wires looking for 12V

I don't understand what your engine specs have to do with installing headlights...

Oh ok...well the engine harness is completely separate from the headlight harness.

Do you have USDM headlights or JDM headlights?

JDM one-piece:



USDM 2-piece lights:



Both should have different connectors, if you have JDM lights in a USDM Prelude, you might have to splice in new connectors.
