bit of info ive found that nobody has mentioned yet, but the 5th gen prelude rubber boots from the backs of the headlights work as replacements for JDM cb7 headlights, in case you are missing one. they look different, but fit and seal properly. they should run you about 7 bucks each.

Just though id say if anyone actualy wounderd...lol
90% of US Headlights in general have them, there's 3 of them, 1 stationary point, and 2 other points that are for horizontal and vertical compensation, they have the little numbers like he said so you know how to setup the equipment.
and p.s. nice write up!

I'll right now i'm confused, here's the deal, i justed picked up cb9 wagon front clip except for the fenders, so i have the bumper with fogs lights the the 2 piece headlights, I "Was" planing to but this on my 90 accord but it sounds like there going to be a light issue? Why isn't this going to be a plug and play issue of course keeping in mind that the wring for 9006-5 to H4-1 has to be done.
Not to get off topic but I didnt get the girll of the wagon but will the girll of a 92-93 accord work with the cb9 bumper and headlights with out any modifying or would it just be smart to just pick up the original girll of the wagon.
One last thing, I havent seen any one mention if it possible to put HID's in glass headlights? Thanks for the info guys

Originally posted by yeamans17depending on what year your car is, or more specifically what year your front clip is, if you have the 90-91 headlights and bumper, then the 92-93 grill will fit funny. but if you got a 92-93 clip it'll fit just fine. and i've seen hids in the 2 piece jdm lights, check out timmyotools members ride page, hes got a link to a detailed paged to how he did it

Originally posted by uncle_eldrl's are a canadian phenomenon... we in the u.s. don't have that feature on our usdm headlights. as such, we never lost it, since we didn't have it!
here's a diagram supplied by our own cpmike on how to do drl's in the jdm headlights:
make sure to click on the above picture for more information
important info from timmy0tool:
Originally posted by cp[mike]timmy, my diagram is correct with having the extra GROUND hooked up to the H4, i specifically did not use the POSITIVE on purpose.
the H4 bulbs have three pins- positive, low-filament *ground*, and high-filament *ground*.
when the parking lights are turned on, all FOUR of the bulbs get a positive voltage to their first pin. they dont turn on because the other side of the bulbs, the grounds, arent connected.
when you turn the knob further so the lowbeams turn on, what that does is connects the GROUND wire to the low-filament ground. so that makes a full circuit, positive and negative are both connected, so the low beams turn on.
when you pull the lever to turn the highbeams on, it connects the second ground, so the H1's get a full circuit too.
This is called a ground-switched system, its how hondas are set up, its not the traditional US-style electronics.
so i did the diagram that way on purpose, the GROUND wire from the H1 gets reconnected to the third ground pin on the H4- turning the parking lights on gives power to the H4, turning the lowbeams on connects the first ground, and pulling the lever connects the second ground.
and kurobei, when i had my car set up according to this diagram, absolutely nothing was out of the ordinary. H4s worked as high/lows, and the highbeam indicator only came on when the highbeams were on. recheck your wiring and make sure its according to the pic....
