Default JDM Center Console - Help With Install

So I tried to install the JDM console and I can get it to fit on the top, but the bottom will not slide in with the center console in place. When the center console is not in place it will fit. Jts crazy there are literally no instructions anywhere on here, other sites, or YouTube. I feel like the cup holder has to be removed in order for it to fit? Anybody know?

Of course the cup holder has to be removed... a bracket that holds the JDM console in place bolts to where the cup holder is.

Did you flip it over and investigate? I thought there was 4 screws holding it in place?

Try this. If anyone has a COMPLETE document like this for a 92-95 Fog Light install, I would appreciate it.

Well...that cleared it right up and makes perfect sense, thanks! Finally a picture showing how it installs. I'll take some photos in a bit of my situation and post.

So I removed the shifter console and you are right the cup holder is held on by 4 screws as shown. I didn't see those last time I had it off. Upon review of the install manual, I have the center console itself but I'm missing the bottom bracket and the 2 side brackets. I guess I'll start hunting on eBay... in the meantime, it sits in place just fine, only thing thats wierd is the gap between it and the dash seems like it shouldn't be there. I'll mess with it..

That's the one I'd love to have but seems that particular styled one is running 500 bucks or more now a days.

Also might add, I believe that's the ultra rare USDM double din not the JDM. From my understanding, the JDM is right hand drive so the lighter is on the left not the right.

This console is unlike any JDM double-din console that I have ever seen. Interestingly, it only has a single-din accessory slot above the ash tray and cigarette lighter/accessory socket... and has a lower "cubby" area much like that found in the USDM EK style center consoles. I also notice the strange gap between the top side edges of the console and the dash panel... which I cannot explain since all dash panels are similar regardless of what body style EG they come in. I am thinking this is actually a USDM optional lower console which would hold the single CD player that is linked to the OE AM/FM Cassette head unit mounted just above in the dash.

My JDM double-din lower center console was purchased brand new years ago from Steve at HMO... the lighter socket is on the right side just like the console pictured above. TomCat39, do you have any images that of the console that you are looking for ?

The one I'd like is probably the same as yours seen here:

JDM 92-95 EG Honda Console

And here is what I usually come across, 800 bucks.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/JDM-92-95-C...75.c100623.m-1





Notice the lighter is opposite.

I found another right side lighter, and now I think those are from Australia. The have the same LHD as US but also had the higher trim accessories of JDM. This would support USDM not having them but still being available for LHD. The Honda Civic Type R I saw a couple of years ago came from Australia, Looked like the Integra but badged as Honda. I'm willing to bet all the right hand lighter consoles came from Australia market but everyone claimed it to be JDM.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Honda-A...75.c100623.m-1




I'm looking for the Aussie Double Din but in black with bracket.

Are you sure the cup holder has to be removed?

Yes, there is a bracket that gets put into place where the cup holder used to sit.

Yeah, with the dbl din one you can swap your stereo to be a double din and then your stereo slot you can put in slide out drawer style cup holders.
