OK first off I have serched both the recent and the archives and can't find what I'm llooking for. I also tried calling Mike at IPS today but kept getting the answering machine over there so here it goes....

I'm in the processing of wiring up my headlights. I have looked through all the existing threads about wiring and none of them match up to what I have. I have seen where Mike and others have posted what color wires do what, the problem i'm having is my wire colors don't match up. I looked at the brown plug on the lights, the wiring that was still attached when I got the headlights with my front end and also my facotry wiring, none match up so I need help with this since this is my last step before she goes in the booth to be painted.

Next, the turn signal on the headlights I noticed it is a single filiment bulb. Should I just use that one and it just be a turn signal only or should I hshave one of the parts of my old facotry plus and use the dual filiment bulb. If I use the JDM bulb then I will no longer have a park light in the front which is required in the US.

Lastly, i have a blue wrapped plugged coming from what looks like my foglight and it's only on the drivers side headlight. How do I go about making sure that both foglights work?

Thanks in advance to everyone that is going to post here and help!

Do a search (instead of just saying you did one).

EDIT: If you need help, try searching for "jdm headlight" in the ITR forum's archived threads.

 

i find myself always posting or emailing these pics!

Thank you very much, that helps alot. What about my turn signal/park light issue. Also what is that blue colored plug I have in the back of one of my headlights for?

 

wow. with that free hand me down if you still cant wire up those lights to your likings you should go out and pay someone to help you dude.

i'm nearly as stupid as they get, (reid is excluded from this comparison for skew factor ) and *I* can even wire these up with those diagrams.

 

wow, lots of ppl are getting these hid's lately, its like the 5th one ive seen all in this month!

so, what do u do w/ these connectors? what do u cut and what do u connect to?

 

Probably because it has become so much cheaper than before.

 

i think you should just use your US turn signal lights. screw the jdm look and be legal. Plus i think it looks better on then off at night. Also on that blue bulb your talking about i believe that is your city light bulb. you just need to buy a new pair to match them up. hope this helps.

 

what do u do on the harness end? do u cut off the factory end and use the wires?

um...i can't believe u stole my pics in the article that i wrote at SuperHonda.

 

sorry i didn't steal the pics. i actually needed it myself when i had to wire up my headlights and it's been saved on my HD.
good to know who finally made the pics! helped me out a bunch!

 

Don't mean to bump a six year-old thread, but at least I searched before creating a new one. Anyway, I am wondering if anyone can update the info on the page as to how to wire up the headlights.

I am looking for the proper way to wire the jdm lights! From what I've read, there are two ways that it is done, and I guess the right way is to have the sidemarkers blink only when the directional is on, and the fog lights go on independently?
