How to Install JDM Headlights
i have HID kit with 9007 (just low beam)
if I buy H1 HID bulbs then does it come with harness and everything that i need to fit in cedia lights housing?? or do i need socket things? (i know i need 9005 harness too)

This is kind of a n00b style question, but what is the difference between the 9005 and 9005XL other than the base?
sorry to big back this thread but i decided to go back to reg bulbs instead of hids... i bought h1 bulbs but they wont fit in the harnesses (i have a new set of wires b/c i have two sets of cedias) dp i need to buy a harness for h1 bulbs?
Yup... you need a set of harnesses for the H1 bulbs, also i forget which bulbs are the high beams. 9005 or 9004 i think.
damn you kareem!! .. i was waiting for you to get on aim. i had my laptop outside with me while i was trying to install just an hr ago... i'm like "wtf, these bulbs won't connect" haha. it got late so i'll do it tomorrow
Yeah, you will need harness for both high beam (9005) & low beam (H1)....the stock harness (9007) is totally different so you will need those to wire them to your stock harness!!
Actually, if you want you can wire straight to the prongs of the H1 bulb... but it is recommended you use a harness as straight wiring can easily throw a short. If you do decide to wire straight to the prongs, it doesnt matter which prong gets positive and which gets ground... just be sure to wrap it in electrical tape or shrink tubing.
