JDM Headlights

[thisiskev]

i bought soem jdm headlights and i cant seem to find the bulbs i need to use them. i got my normal lights working with civic lights but i dont know what to use for my brights. its a really small whole. h3's are to big of a bulb to get it in and h1s are to small to stay in place.

you say you bought "JDM" headlights....

are they "JDM" projector headlights?

yea im not really understanding, i got an idea but not the whole thing. i bought the lights off a guy here on cb7tuner so they werent from an acual site. so maybe i dont have the plastic piece yoru talkin about.

and they are jdm headlights i duno if there are projectors or what but they are the acual jdm lights.

Can you post a picture of them?

if they look like the ones in ALOW1's sig, then they're not JDM and probably don't take the same bulbs as JDM headlights. A lot of ebay sellers will advertise the projectors are JDM headlights, which is not the case.

That's the only reason I ask.

these are authentic jdm headlights:

these are not:




JDM headlights take H4 for the low beam, and H1 for the high beam.

Yeah mine are eBay projectors, I dont consider them JDM at all.

im pretty possitive they are jdm. i had to cut out part of the bracket to install them so i could get the bumper on. they say stanly on them. they are customized black though. i will take pictures of them soon and post them. i need to know how to wire them in though. my friend helped me to get the normal lights working. now i need to figure out how to get the brights working. i bought h1 bulbs and they fit so hopefully they are the right ones.
