Default how EXACTLY are the jdm type r headlights wired up? Show me proof

i was wondering if anyone out there knows exactly how the type r jdm headlights are lit up? I want to know how they look like coming from factory. I know the corner lights only blink. Are the bulbs orange? side markers only blink. Daytime running lights stay one with one turn of the ****, but what color is the bulb? Is the Fog light lit up only when headlights are on? or can they light up independently? Any help would really be appriciated!!!

Thanks

All signal bulbs blink orange.

The only light that is on at night is the city light and the headlight.

The city light is just a clear 194 bulb. Nothing special.

Fog lights come on with the fog light switch. On, off, whatever you choose.

im curious, because a lot of pix that people post have the lights hooked up differently. I am especially curious about the fog light. So the fog light can be turned on with out the Low beams on?

Default Re: (eternity0114)

the "correct" way is
first click "city lights" or parking lights
second click is the low beam and city lights....
foglight is by push of a button...
and turning should relay but only turn on when you blink...also the turn signals..

a lot of people have them on all the time because what you can do is use your exsisting corner light for the turning signal it will work with a little modification..
when i got my front end it came with the whole clip except motor......so thats how i know....

Not entirely sure about how JDM is hooked up, but the USDM factory foglights need the low beams on before the fog lights can be turned on. You cant drive around with just the foglights on.

But you can do whatever you want. They are your headlights.

Yep. They can be turned on while the city lights are on or with the low beams/highbeams.

The side markers will blink if u tap into the green wire (correct me if im wrong). To have the turn signals OFF and blink ONLY when u signal, u can use ur factory blinker and put some eletrical tape over one of the connectors of the bulb. theres only 2 so, just trial-and-error it...

as for the fog lights, if u want them to be turned on independently (like i did) i used a separate harness and relay (my old piaa's wiring, comes w/ fuse). They can be turned on whenever u click one time...

First click = City Lights + Corner Lights + Sidemarkers
Second click = City Lights + Projectors

Sidemarkers and corner lights blink only when you signal, and are not on when driving. The fog lights are powered by a switch and a relay and can be turned on whenever the lights are clicked once and twice.

I'm 90% sure this is the true Japan way.

If I was 100% wrong that'd mean every single thing I said wasn't correct which isn't the case.

Enlighten us instead of just saying I'm wrong smartass.

WEll this is how I'm gonna be doing it?
So....the Corner/Blinker light is not on unless the turn signal is clicked?
Ok,..cuz I though(obviously wrong) but 1 click would be:
sidemarker(not correct)/"city"/corner/Fog(if button is pressed).Then 2 clicks would then just cut on the Low beam?

Using stock wiring is gonna be the way "I thought" but not
"the right way".

*QUESTION 1*:How do I put a relay on the sidemarker and Corner wires so they only come on when Blinker is flipped?and do I just splice into them and run 2 or 4 wires out to each sidemarker?
*QUESTION 2*: The high beam on the JDM is not the same as US..is it a H1 or H3?Here is shows all the lights

And Here is ALL the part numbers:
Item Qty Part Number Description Price (Yen)
2 2 33104-SL5-A02 Headlight bulb (HB4) available in US 1,500
3 2 33126-ST7-J01 Back cover component 500
4 1 33127-ST7-J01 Right fog light cover assembly 600
6 2 33165-ST7-J01 Fog light bulb (H3/55W) available in US 1,000
7 1 33177-ST7-J01 Left fog light cover assembly 600
8 2 33301-SA0-741 Side marker bulb (12V 5W) available in US 160
9 2 33301-ST7-J01 Corner lamp bulb, available in US, reuse stock pt 400
10 2 33303-ST7-J01 Corner lamp socket, single filament, reuse stock 400
11 2 33800-SR3-J01 Side marker assembly right side (get this) 1,000
12 1 33801-SR3-003 Side marker right side 650
13 1 33802-SR3-003 Side marker left side 650
14 1 33850-SR3-J01 Side marker assembly left side (get this) 1,000
15 2 34304-SH3-A01 side marker bulb socket 390
16 2 34901-ST7-J01 High beam bulb (H1) available in US 1,000
17 2 34908-SB6-003 Parking light bulb (12V 5W)


I guess I'm kinda answering all my own questions.....except teh Relay thing...that I'm lost on?
Anyone close to Charlotte wanna help a brotha out on some wiring--COld Beer will be provided??

no need. you apparently have it all figured out.
just pointing out you could be somewhat probably almost most definately talking out of your ***... thats all.

do a search on the topic as its been discussed a while back

and a kind moderator even hosted up some diagrams with fog light schematics. to mike his diagrams sure help lots

dude, my opinion...wire it up the way youd like, your way or jdm. doesnt really matter, as long as you think it will be useful to have them wired the way you choose.

i for one would consider using the side markers for their purpose, to blink while signalling.

the jdm wiring doesnt have this hapenning the same way...where they just stay on. (one difference, for example)

1st click - driving lights
2nd click - driving lights, lowbeams

Turn signals, Side markers - ONLY come on DURING a turn
Fog lights - fog light switch in place of the CC button

^^^^ JDM Wiring.. guaranteed..

now.. to get the turns and side markers to be on the first click, and also on when not blinking, you tap into the green wire also for constant power. there are 3 wires in the US harness for your turn signal.. however you only need 2 for the jdm lights. if you just tap the green wire, then you wont have them work at all.. not even blinking.. you must tap all three. Then continue to tap those same wires for your side markers.

Hope this helps...

Ok,..now here your stating how to keep the Turns/Side marks to stay on w/ 1 click?
But what kinda of relay or Whatever (wires to tap) should I use to make the "city" lights and low beams to come on w/o the Sides and Blinkers?/ thats what i would liek to know.
I've got the Fogs straightned out.(just gonna use my Piaa wiring thats run to the JDM fog switch)

I would like it the "JDM way" (cuz its M4D tight y0 ),.so that the blinkers and side markers only come on when signaling?? Mainly so i don't look stupid w/ 5 bulbs burnin all the damn time.Although I have seen it and it dosen't look bad,..but looks more like an Accord

Thanx, & sorry for the "bug" out but I'm about to the wiring stage of my Conversion and while I have the fenders/everything else off..I'd like to run the wires soon.

THANX!

sorry.. the driving lights i consider the "city" lights, if you got confused.. my bad on my part for using the word driving lights.. sorry bout that

if you want the city lights to come on but not the sides and turns, then all you would have to do is tap the green wire with a yellow stripe.. (i think) into the light bulb harness.. then connect the ground and tape up the green wire w/ white stripe up and put it off to the side.. you wont need it. and voila!! jdm wiring let me know if you need anymore help.

btw.. if ive mixed up the wires and you get them backwards.. you'll know because they wont work at all... (thats how i found out ) i tried to go look at mine but i have all the wires and stuff pretty much out of the way, so i couldnt see much without having to pull the lights..

Na,..This is great! Very helpfull,..but lemme see.....This is supposeldy the Back of the NON-HID light. I forgot about this harness(haven;t seen the rear of the lights in 6 years/since my old JDM conversion) and I never got to wire them, before I sold it.

SO I will run 1 single wire off each group of wires or splice into 1 wire off each group?.(ie. corner light,High beam,"smaller" coner light?)

the clips I'm supposed to use i guess are the ones that you pinch on the wire on the open end,..and it has a "vacum attachment" lookin end that pops right on the Pin correct?(Forgot the name of the plugs)&lt;--similar to 'butt connectors'
main question is which wire do I splice? Sorry I'm newb @ the whole wiring

I think i understand that part,...only once I get started it will seem alot eaiser
But if anyone can illustrate from this what i need to do...or draw me a Ghetto Paintshop schematic that would actually help.

NEVERMIND Figured it out!
&lt;--Mr.fairlady who is very slow today

I've got it! I keep forgetting I have to cut the the stock wiring(bulb off) and use those wires into the Supplied JDM Harness(on the headlight)!!!

I was making it harder then it was,..I guess cuz I'm not doing / looking @ it @ this moment!


tell me if I'm right:

ie "Fog lights": The wires from my aftermarket PIAA fog lamps have 2 wires coming out(into a White plug)..I basically cut the plug off(to expose the 2 open wires),..run 1 wire to the 'fog" tab on the harness and the other(Blk) to the ground Tab??
And thats it? right?

ie:"High beam"--&gt; cut the bulb socket off exposing the wires and run the coresponding wires to the Tabs on the JDM harness.

an as far as the Corner light and sidemarker...take the stock Corner light wire(cut the socket off),run ONLY 2 wires (not 100% sure which 2 yet) not all 3 so they are not constant ("1 click"),.. and splice 2 wires off that same 2 wires to the Sidemarkers??? That way they will only blink when signaling?
Ok,..I believe I'm write.
please tell me if I'm wrong.
