Dose it matter witch wire goes in where in the sockets?... I wasen't sure if it mattered or not.
Btw, Great DIY!

the H4 lowbeams are bulbs with 3 pins, but only 2 are used... as long as you are using the correct two (which isnt an issue if youre using the stock JDM plugs that came with the JDM headlights) then no, it doesnt matter if you swap wires around.

[QUOTE=jsinger]As far as I know, no it doesn't matter. That or I just got lucky the first try on all four plugs. If you discover otherwise, just switch the terminals.
ok thanks, i'll try it!

is there a need to re-aim the direction of the headlights? if so how do you do it?

I once went jdm but looks nice but saw no point in it then converted back for one the bulbs where expensive,hard to reach the corner bulbs and such then i went back but great writeup though i give you that

[mcdizzle]

good write up, now only if i could afford sum jdm one peices

[Jarrett]

I'd say you did pretty good for your first DIY. Great pictures too!

[jsinger]

Great write up!

I have wanted to do this, but wasn't sure where to get the male sockets! You saved my behind.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to solder those pins as well. Then they would be that much more secure, but I doubt that it will prove to be an issue.

Yeah, I forgot to mention soldering the connections as an alternative.

exactly how i did mine, thanks for taking the pictures and posting up a guide, now i can refer people to it when they ask about it.

perfect write up! the ONLY difference that i would suggest is in the picture below - instead of cutting the pins along the green lines like you said, id recommend cutting them at the red line. that way that extra bit of bare connection isnt left hanging out of the back of the connector... but then again, you can leave it and use it as extra support holding onto the wire insulation, but make sure its taped up well like you have in the pictures.

Yeah that's what I did. I had that extra piece wrapped around the insulation. After I looked at some terminal pins at work though, I too would suggest cutting at the red line as you suggested. The ones at work were pre-cut in the same location.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys!
