How to Install JDM Headlights
4no, that is a great diagram.
i agree
i just got mine off ebay from nightevolution is his name i think...
i have the hardware like basic tools prolly need more shrink tubing for the cleanup part.. gonna use electrical tape for temp solution while i test them and once they work ill shrink em
i just need to get rest of the junk now....
Material:
- Extra wiring (multiple colors recommended)
- 2x 9005 High Beam Harness
- 2x 9005 High Beam Bulbs
- 2x wedge bulbs are these a specific type? (if you're going to stay amber in color 4 if u want a different color . can you clarify on this part as im confused)
- 2x H1 bulbs ( i assume im gonna need a h1 harness too )
anything else i need besides a beer, lol

Cedia lights
I know that this is an old thread but, I have a question. I just got those cedia headlights but the ones I got did not come with H1 adapters. Anyone knows where I could get those adapters? The H1 bulb does not seem to fit correctly without them.
the hi'1 i got from another member here 4no is his name.. he bought me a pair of h1's after i sent him money via paypal.. got them in 1- 2 weeks ( comming from canada )... my h1 adapters had 2 terminals on the back and i see only 1 in that pic u gave us,,.. i had no issues with my h1 bulbs fitting in the socket
if you look at this pic here

the h1 adapter should have 2 terminals at the back and not 1

The problem that I have is that the headlamps did not come with bulb adapters. Thats why there is only one terminal. I did find these adapters for a website that carries Hella light conversions. Im pretty sure that those rubber covers are removable. The black socket part looks realy similar to the white one in the earlier post. I ordered a pair of them to see if will work. The name of the company is Susquehanna MotorSports. The part number for the sockets are HL28521 Adapter - Two Terminal 165MM Sealed Beam to Hella H1 High Beam, One Required per lamp. It cost me $28 shipped to Cali. Hopefully these will work, I will update once I get them.
i can.... need to take apart my lamp to do it.. ill seee when i get bacl from work... i start @ 7am-12pm noon today.. when i get home, ill snap some pics....
here are the pics....
** removed ** i needed teh space ** if u need pics just pm me **
pic #1 is of the adapter in the cedia housing...
#2 is the adapter itself female end where the H1 bulb
shown in pic #4 goes into the slot... basicly slide the male terminal of the H1 bulb ( pic #4 ) gently into the slot of the h1 socket image #2......
#3 is where the connection is made to the factory harness you spliced into, if you did so..
i made a custom harness, so i didnt have to cut the factory wireing.. sorry i didnt getthe image
of the bulb in the socket itself.. i had to move car outta the garage, pops came home....
you get the idea tab a into slot b ( h1 bulb male into h1 socket female )
any other questions, feel free to ask

Well looks like I do need that adapter.
Hopefully the hella one I ordered or the one's that 4no are trying to get me will work. Unfortunately the lights that I had ordered did not come with that white adapter.
