Default URGENT: Depo Headlight help

this is for my 94 honda accord. i just bought the depo headlights for my car the jdm style ones.

there is a problem with the corners, the OEM corners have two holes for the two bulbs but the depo ones only have 1 hole for one bulb not 2.

what did you guys do about this or did i receive the wrong item?

thanks

IF my scant recollection of all things JDM is accurate, The JDM application have a seperate side marker lamp apart from the corner lamp. It's usually located behind the front wheel

i bought the DEPO headlights not the JDM ones.

the OEM USDM headlight corners have 2 bulbs whereas the DEPO ones only have 1 hole for 1 bulb.

i just want whichever bulb i put in, it will be like my OEM corners.

when i turn it on, they are on and when i turn on a signal, they blink.

can this be achieved by putting in just the bulb that fits?

im sure they'll both fit, just pick the one that blinks and the other one you can leave alone. thats what i did. the depo headlights are designed like the jdm ones so they both only use one blub for the corner. only the usdm corners had two blubs. so just pick one to use. like cd5cord_guy said, if u want it to blink, pick the one that blinks. it's that easy.

Only one of the two sockets will fit, 1 has 3 tabs the other has 2. I can't remember which one fits but just use that one.

If it's the one that doesn't blink (very well might be) use the spare socket that blinks to splice into for sidemarkers
