Yep, the jdm beam pattern sucks. It helped w/ the fogs raised. I'm thinking of cracking open the headlights and doing something to the projector. We'll see.

If you get the headlights from Z1 (a vender here), you'll get the conversion harness for the foglights. You wouldn't need to make one. Unless you like to tinker like me. I think they only sell JDM MR 8 headlights (flat black) and not 9s (chrome black?), though.

Thanks, hksevoix! Wish I new of this before. But I had fun making one, though.

-Built harness for $20. You can save some time not making one.
http://evomoto.com/product_info.php?...98ce51ee3ab1d6

-Build your own $8 harness. Google "9006 ballast harness", you'll find a website that sells an unmodded 9006 harness for $8. You can build a more affordable one and get to use a drill and flathead screwdriver.

Both ways we help the economy.

Jack: You have a 9006 bulb right? The bulb plug is at a 90degree angle, right? You have to install the bulb into the headlight first. Mine took some messing w/ to drop into the notches. Then you plug the harness in. It's harder if you try to put the bulb in w/ the harness connect. Hope that helps.
