Well I finally found out why I cannot see **** with my driver side bulb. The wire clip that holds the bulb in tact did not come with the light. So my question is this: Is the clip used to hold the bulb in place universal for all h4 lights or do I have to use one specific for the 4th gen JDM housing?

If anyone has part numbers handy I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

 

i'd like to know this as well..i misplaced the clips for the low beams when i was replacing the bulb

 

you guys got any pix of what you are talking about? because if you dont have that clip how the heck are the bulb staying in there? shouldnt it pop out if youre going really fast?

 

my driver side h4 points up, waaaaay up, i have the clip though, i just have to fix the headlight

 

I will try to post a picture later tonight. The rubber boot keeps the bulb somewhat in place, but you can see the bulb shake when you hit a bump.

 

gude, your new title and avatar are just plain wrong. lol.

 

from the h4 bulbs ive came in contact with the clips seem the same.. could be mistaken though. mine work great... cept i cant see ****! my ***** aimed right.. just time to get hid

 

oh also u can switch the wires on the harness around if u have dual filiments to make **** little brighter.. dont run both unless u up the guage of the wire..
good luck *******
peace out

 

yeah, you have issues wqith that avatar, gonna have nightmares tonight.

 

Good question I know the 5th gen preludes use the same concept that JDM 4thgens do... which is blub, wire clip, boot. BUT 5thgen us H1's for both high & low beam... so the clip is smaller (H1) than the clip for the H4.... if they were the same size.... I would say go to honda and buy one for the 5thgen.... but in your case.. you missing the H4 clip. I know the new Civc's use the H4 bulbs... so you can probably check with some one who owns one..... I tried to see if the clip was visible from this diagram... but no cigar.... http://www.hondaautomotivepart...LIGHT
hope this helps.

They should be the same, H4 bulbs are standard, so should the wire ring clip that holds them in.
