Default 98 accord projector headlights

Hey everyone. I"m new to the boards and i was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me out with something. I just bought dual halo projectors for my 98 accord, and i know where the halo's wire in, the high beams and projectors plug in, but there is a thrid light that has a different looking plug on it. I have no clue what to do with it. Here is a link to a website that has the same headlights that i have. Since i dont know how to attach and image the best i can do is put the link up here. Scroll down a little bit and they are the black housing Honda Accord 98-02 Head Lamp Halo Angle Eyes. It is the light on the far left of the black housing headlights. If anyone could tell me what to do with the third plug or if you know a website that might have instruction, that would help out alot. Thanks. http://www.autodirectsave.com/...s.asp

I'm trying to put a picture of the actual headlights, but i'm probably doing this wrong. Sorry if its wrong, and if its right my problem is with the outside light (not the turn signals)

the other plug is for a fog light.

You have to wire the fog lights in, or just leave it as is. U can look at the first page of the pics thread to see what mine look like

your projectors are dim. that sucks. i hope that doesnt happen with mine. i'm putting them in on friday and possibly wiring up the halo's. Go on ebay. I got my dual halo projectors for like $129. The manufacturer that made mine only sold them in sets of 100 or 200, so the company i bought the headlights from could sell them cheap since they bought the lights in bulk. Did you fix you dimming problem?

I've got TYC black housing projectors on my 98, it takes H1's, but I switched my bulbs to PIAA's, best move you can make... makes a world of difference. My lights are still brighter then stock and have a pretty decent look to them. Also, with Altezza's, I got black housing ones, my only problem with aftermarket lighting is that they get condensation... that will be your biggest nemesis... do your best to seal them before you install them... or drill drain holes in the bottoms at the corners...

Dont waste money on PIAA!!!! 100 bucks for some HID look a like bulbs!!! I have the 9005 conversion myself and cant reallly tell the difference. The best alternative to stock housing and those "JDM" style projectors is to retro them with high end projectors. NOTHING compares to real HID!!!!!!!

Yea, i'll keep you posted. They are going in tomorrow, and if i have enough time i'm going to wire in the halo's. I'll see what i can do about getting a camera and take pictures of the car with the lights in. I'll see how i like the projectors before i buy new bulbs. I'm really not trying to do any conversions or anything, so i'm gonna see what i can find for brighter replacement projector bulbs. Oh yea, i didnt buy these for the "JDM" look. As a matter of fact i didnt even think about it. If you look at the ebay page, JDM isnt anywhere on there. I just have wanted projectors since i had my 95 accord.
