JDM headlights

Ordered JDM headlights to replace my smashed ones (hit a deer, check other threads by me) the mechanical/self leveling motors are not built into the jdm ones and there are no mounts to bold up the old ones anywhere. Also the foglight bulbs are different and don't match up.

I got them from evomoto-

Anyone else have this issue? just curious . . . has the body shop repairing my car put them in anyways without the self adjusters. Didn't think there would be so much of a problem/difference.

I KNOW for a fact that I saw adapters for the foglights somewhere ! I just checked lancershop.com but didnt see them but I do know they're made. I am not sure about the auto leveler though but who the hell really needs those things ? I have them but never ever use them. Theyre probably there more so a salesman can give you the "ooh - ahh" effect.

For fogs you need the 9006..

As far as the leveling motors, they are there, just plug the harness in and give it a try. Trust me, i swapped mine with JDM VIII MRs a couple of weeks ago. Very simple install.

All the places say that they should line up without any modifications, but I guess it is a fact that they are not truthful about it...~

Does your's have the HID's on it already and the JDM ones also have it?
