I received my set of JDM headlights earlier than expected today (Ordered Dec 20th with an expected back order of 6-8 weeks) so I'm quite excited biggrin.gif In any case though the headlights (high and low) don't look like they're a direct bolt on to a usdm front end...or am I just seeing things? Picture for reference:



Also, the high beams I know are 9005 just like the usdm ones, but my H1 HID bulbs (the real reason I got the projectors) don't seem to be a direct fit? I have a couple wires here that I don't know where they go:



And the bulbs obviously don't fit into these holder things either, which are pretty much needed to make the bulb stay steady and in place:



Does anyone have any experience with HID setups like this that can help me out? I'd like to go my quarter panel repaired asap and obviously, having a usdm front end I'm not wired for an H1 setup. Thanks so much in advance!

Turn your bulbs around, there's 2 little bumps on the plastic part that will fit into the two little holes on the projector housing where the bulb goes in. They WILL fit in there flush. Also, you probably have a little black rubber ring thing on your HID bulbs, that some of the wires feed through. The rubber thing will slide down, you can slide it down and it will fit in right above where your bulb goes into the projector, then you can put the clip down over that. That will help to seal the bulb in snugly and water tight as well.

If you don't get it figured out by the weekend, I'll try to take a picture of mine so you can see exactly what I'm referring to. I've got HIDs in my JDM projectors too.
