ok the other day i got the headlights and i tried to install them to see how they fit, and i took the usdm headlight off the bracket and i was going to put the ef9 headlight on and it dident fit. i have a 89 civic im not sure if i need a 90-91 bracket. or is there a different way?

 

remove everything that is attached to the factory headlight, the jdm needs NO bracket at all, it bolts straight to the front end.

im guessing you still have the skeleton for the usdm headlight bolted in, just remove it!

your front end should look like this when you are doing the install
notice the lack of headlight brackets



its a crx but same idea for civic

 

no i took it off, i actually hooked it up right then it just dident seem right i thought you needed a bracket, i just dont have my filler or hood yet, its still being shipped, but cool thanks alot.

 

oh, i thought by not fit right you meant it didnt bolt up properly.

i didnt know you meant it was because of something so obvious

 

ahh they did, i just never had the sir front end before, and i never new how the hooked up, no one that lives by me has one but one guy that i know of, but thanks for your help.

 

So it does fit, but fitment is bad?

 

no its just my sir hood and bumper filler are still being shipped still, thats why it looked weird. but i thought that you still needed the brackets,

 

well since they are only one bulb how do you do install them, since my stock headlight has 2 bulbs, i have eg bulbs and wiring if that will work.

 

Assuming you already have bulbs and sockets for your jdm headlights: cut up your stock headlight wiring at the sockets and solder them to your jdm ones. Connect all black ground wires together. 2 wires left, one is for high beam, one is for low beam. I forgot which color is which, just hook them up and test them out, rewire them if need be.

BTW, check out the FAQ section, there's a writeup for jdm sir front end conversion. Everything is there.

 

ok i will thanks alot

 

i got it.
