Default ZC headlights and SiR taillights

I plan on purchasing some headlights and taillights... to my knowledge, the ZC headlights are single socket and SiR tails are the same as the usdm tails... will there be any diffrent mounting problems? Ik Ill have to get a different headlight harness... what all problems are there for me to expect?

That's it. All bolts up like stock, need to modify plug/harness for headlights.

Modify the headlight harness correctly by adding in a relay. This way low beams cut of when high beams are turned on. Otherwise you will blew through bulbs faster.

I make plug n play adapters for these if you need them Lmk

im pretty sure i didnt bother turning my low beams off with my H4 bulbs.

i havent blown any bulbs yet. i dont drive with my high beams on for long much anyway.

nice looking wiring kit tho. looks a lot nicer than my hack job of using old bulb housings for male connector side and junkyard connector harness.

btw, i dont think my EDM headlights (what i call them, i dunno why you use an ambiguous engine code to designate a headlight) are really any better than american OE. its the same bulb on EG's and onward, and nobody says they have great headlights.

The ZC headlights are single socket correct?

This topic is a little more detailed then made out to be. There is more than one version of each of these.

jdm headlights used H4H bulbs, and yes need to be wired up to run the single bulb

edm headlights use H4 bulbs and also need to have the wires modified.

Also, ZC and SiR are terrible lables for identifying headlights and front ends. Oversea s, 88-89 looked the same as North American models, but in 1990-91 they went to the newer style design (many models of both civic and crx), that North America never got....it wasnt just an SiR style!!
