I'm kinda in trouble, please help. (JDM Headlights)
 
OK, since most of you don't know, my car had front end damage and the headlights where destroyed, so to replace them I had the body shop order JDM heads from Vivid and they didnt come with the parts to hold in the low-beam bulb, so I need that somehow,
AND
My car being a 05 GSR without HID or fogs the hookup (seen here\/)

doesn't quite match up, I thought I had this problem solved by getting the harness from LancerShop, but it was just a socket for a fog light.
Please help in any way you can.


P.S.
check out what else is in the works when I get it back!

The wiring harness for the HID are different then the non HID harness. You got the JDM headlights and they are HID and have a fog light, you pretty much SOL. Unless you have a lot of money and time to get the HID harness put in. Good Luck.

^ I'm afraid he is right. But maybe you can claim it on the insurance. You can say they were HID's before, but after they magically are now non-HID. ;) jk

way to late for the insurance fraud thingy, but is there a way to atleast make it drivable, that way i can drive her after 3 months of not having it?

Yank the bulbs and put Non HID in. I have a set of low beams you can have just pay the shipping. I converted to HID, so they are doing me no good. Find a set of high beams and bang pow.. another thought is buy an HID cnversiopn that has the ballast. its plug and play, and like 350 bucks. I have a how to in the how to section, "Hoe to convert to HID"

EvoVIII25 Mar 21, 2006 09:37 PM

Just had a brain storm! Kinda hurts.
If I take the male metal plugs out of the casing and put them in the color corrisponding female plug, would it not give me high beams and turn signals with running lights?

is it me or do the tires look like 215's . maybe the wide angle lens?

That is easy enough, 9006 right? the problem is I dont have the Housing behind the bulb itself that holds it to the chrome/black part of the light.

Tires are 235/40/18 Rim is 18X8.5 i think it could be a little wider but the "curb lip" on the tire makes it look a little skiny too.
