Is there any bodywork in order to be installed? and how is the wiring supposed to work? is there any wiring work needed to be done? please help i want to start working but im just making sure before i do anything. thanx for your help.

well jdm ones you just replace the existing ones.. body work is the pain of removing the front bumper. if you are turning your normal lights into projectors, you will need clear lenses, a set of projectors, something to make a shroud so it looks nice, and then you essentially make a hole to mount the projector, use some threaded rods, some washers, and some nuts to secure it to the light housing

as far as wiring... you just tap off your existing low beam harness, if you are going to use low/high projectors, then you also need to tie it in with your high beams, or a separate switch to control that.

if you dont have enough info to do this project... i wouldn't advise starting it or investing any money into it until you do

i already have the new jdm lights i just wanted to know what in order there was for wiring to do and how to do it. What kind of attatchment do i use for the plug? do i have to take off the front bumper? i have a molded erubuni front lip and i didnt know if i needed to rip the whole front end off. Just some questions for anyone who has done it.

front bumper needs to come off. You will need the h4 plug/connector and just slice the old wires and hook them up with the new ones.

if you dont want to take your bumper off, then sell em your projectors for cheap..lol.

EDIT: Did you happen to buy J-types old car? Silver with a hirolip and jdm tails??

i tried to find the how to but the internet is being slow here now.. pretty much you take the bumper off, theres the 4 screws on top when you open the hood, then several across the bottom that hold the underplastics, then theres 2 sets of 2 push button type things where the fog lights would go to hold the bumper to the crash bar, then there are also 4 push tabs that hold a black metal piece in the center of the mouth

then the fun part! there are 3 screws on either side that hold the bumper to the fender, i pull back and go under the wheel plastic and take a deep socket with extension, swivel joint, and another extension, i put my hand up from the bumper side to guide the socket, and put the extensions through tthe gap in the wheel plastics, and for the top one i go through the corner light hole.

then you just take off the stock head lights and put the jdm ones on

and put the bumper back....

as for wiring, again theres a how to, you get an h4 connector, you can pull the one prong out if you want a clean instal, then either tap that into the stock harnes, or do what i did and tin the tips of the wire with solder and plug the loose ends into the harnes to avoid cutting it, then jsut shrink wrap it so it looks nice and keeps gunk out

as for the corner lights, the little 194 bulbs... just wire them fast to either your parking lights, or a separate switch (how i have them) so they can light, you do not NEED to do them... but i cant access them without taking off the bumper, so while your in there at least wire the bulb and leave the pig tails hanging out in reach if you ever want them to work at a later date

ill try n check back later and edit in links to the detailed how to's with pictures

wow thanx alot man thats definetly gonna change my idea bought getting it done quick. I am buying a new front bumper in this case then.

can i get a plug and play harness to wire these jdms

if you want a good harness connector to go with..theres a company called Nokya that make headlights/bulbs and splice in connectors. They have really nice and simple splice in connectors that run about $10 each.
