Kouki Projectors Question Options

[mechedjun]

Done some research on these but couldn't find the info I was looking for so I'm asking the community for help.

1. To my understanding the USDM low beam bulbs do not fit the projectors (9006 to H4? I think?) so as far as wiring goes do I just take the old wiring off and just resolder to the new ones or do I need a resistor or something in between to get the current down?

2. Does the high beam bulbs the same between USDM and projectors?

Thanks

This is the wrong forum (exterior).

Check the Interior/Electrical forum

There you can find the stickies:
Electrical Sticky

In the sticky you can read up on your info:
Lights/Bulbs

Anyway..
Low beam headlamp:
USDM- 9006
JDM projectors- HB4/H1

High beam headlamp
USDM- 9005
JDM- HB3)

If I were you I'd skip cutting/soldering the lighting harness and just buy an HID kit with the bulbs that fit accordingly.
HID Write-up

Hope that helps

*EDIT* Lol.. nvm richee beat me to it

If he is switching to projectors you cannot just buy the bulbs that fit correctly. This changes the bulb to H1 and thus leaves your stock harness at 9006. Theres no such thing as an H1 bulb with a 9006 end, thus the adapter needs to be made. Unless you just mean don't switch to projectors and just get the right bulbs for it.

Upon further research I see the real predicament now. The problem is, yes you are correct, no such thing as H1 to 9006 adaptor. To be clear, I have no intention of using a HID kit. The question is, H1 harness has a single power wire coming out from the bulb clip. The base of the clip/bulb assembly is, I think, the negative ground itself. However 9006 has both power and ground wire. Its easy enough to solder the power wires but what the heck do I do with the negative wire from the 9006?
