I'll start off saying that the corner light is the exact same as the USDM headlight bulb, however the other two are different.

Headlight bulb is an H4H, you will either have to find a tuner shop that stocks them or order it online.

The fog is an H3 however you will have to modify the connector, and if they are true JDM than they already have a yellow cover over the bulb inside the housing.

i you really want to put themon jus use your stock foglight connector on your car and butt connect it to your new lights. then for your head lights, if they are the real jdm headlights then you can uses you old lights. jus screw them in. there are 2 holes next the the inserts to your lights. put your lights in and find a screw that is wide and screw i in. i have the jdm lights and im running my stock bulbs and im using my stock foglight connectors. but thats jus me i went the getto way... but good luck wit it

doing this for the headlight bulb will not work "properly" the housing is designed for the bulb to be specifically in a spot to use the reflectors in the housing to their fullest capability. by just sticking the bulb part way in and screwing it down you are not putting the bulb far enough into the housing and it will yield poor light output on the road.

Now there have been some threads on other sites such as Team-Integra.net and G2IC.com for a DIY on how to shave an H4 bulb seat to make it fit properly into the H4H housing.
