Default Problem installing DDM HID's on 96 prelude

Hey guys so i drive a 1996 prelude and decided to get the ddm HID's and when I tried putting the prongs from the ddm lights into the oem plug the prongs were too big i ordered the H1's from them for my low beams please help ive been working all day for the last 2 days on this. I was reading a bit and think i either need to get an adapter or a relay harness pleasee help TY.

I'm not sure what DDM is, but Any headlights besides your stock USDM ones are going to likely need some sort of wire splicing done. Now assuming that that's a typo and you meant JDM then it's just a matter of splicing the pig tails you should have gotten onto your stock wiring.

not sure exactly what kind of problem your having with the wiring, but they do also sell some sort of harness check their site or give them a call. i bought a set for my del sol and just recently for my evo. i feel there hids are really good quality not like alot of those cheapy ones that are floating around

i think i no what your talking about, its the little prong thing not sure what its really called....but what it does is it holds the hid's in place and its to big and the lip around the hid's are to small and they just flop around. if thats not what your talking about then i dont no i have that problam! i used gasket maker and put it around the lights and held them in place until it dryed lookes dumb if you show some one but you cant even really see it unless you look for it.
