How do you hook up 92-95 civic projectors with the included wire harness?
I got it and made a DIY: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=491096

When I had projectors on my Civic, I didn't use the harness at all. The stock harnesses should plug right into the projectors. When I used the projector harness, it allowed both my low and highbeams to be on at the same time which wasn't a good thing because it caused the bulbs to blow out a lot quicker from the heat. If I were you, I'd just use the stock harnesses and have the low and highs alternate like stock headlights.
But how did you hook them up to make them work with the harness, I can't make mine work at all.
Easy as pie.
1. Take off bumper to make this easier
2. Take out old headlights and corners
3. Alright, disconnect battery.
4. Now lift that fuse box lid found under the hood and youll see 2 pins. They are both power. Like screws that you can unscrew. They are found at the very front of the box. (GOT EM , GOOD) Now unscrew one screw.
5. On harnesses you should have 2 red wires with little rings. These need to be connect to power so hook em up there and screw it back down.
6. Your lights should have power once the battery is hooked back up.
7. There will be/should be 2 fuses attatched to the new harnesses. Attatch these to your car where they will stay put.
8. Look at your harnesses, you should notice that one wire is longer then the next. (GOT IT, GOOD)
9. Run this longer wire across the front cross member where you bumper will cover when put back on.
10. SO now your pretty much done, You should have two new plugs by the passanger light and another that you just ran to the other light. BUT!!!!!!!!!
11. You also have the 2 originla stock plus. WELL!!!!!!!!!
12. The passanger side should have 2 plugs that are on the harnesses. Attatch the stock plug to one of themand run the other to the new projector headlight.
13. Now take the plus that you ran across the cross member and hook that into the projector directly. (YOU ARE NOT USING THE DRIVER SIDE ORIGINLAL PLUS ANYMORE)
14. put all the **** back togethere and tighten, hook up battery, and adjust headlights.
15. You should be ready to rock.
Kenny, I havent done that inlike 3 years but shold all be there

Thanks alot. That what I just did on the civic and it worked. I guess my question is, Is it true that the bulbs will burn out fast using the dual low/high beam? Or basicly, will they burn out faster using the harness?
It doesnt matter how you have it hooked up. As long as you got decent bulbs in them you will be fine. Also MAKE SURE YOU DONT TOUTCH THE BULB b4 putting it in. Lots of people like to grab it and this will cause thelight to die quickly.
