Ok so if your not going for jdm plastic headlights and still want glass with a couple extra goodies here you go.

EDM headlights!!!
Image
Image

a special thanks to carfanatic for the lights, pigtails and switch! :woot:

ok so basically here is the wiring diagram and some problems i ran into.

Image

this is pretty straight foward except it just tells you grn/blk goes to fusebox sooooo you'll need this diagram...

Image

tap into the grn/blk wire that runs your rear wiper, rear sprayer etc

now for install...

first take off bumper to make easier
then remove old headlights etc

Image

at this times you'll notice the citylights have to be wired.... simple
Image
wire into the turn signal
Image
Image

now that the lights are in time to wire em up
Image

^^^^^^ only problem i ran into notice on the pigtails dont have the same wiring colors!!!!!

the one on the right is correct so if you into this dont even pay attention to the colors of the wires on the other one just wire it up according to the diagram with using the one on right as referance!!

finished product

now for action>> click picture

the pigtail that i have for the switch is different from the one you have
it has 3 wires coming off of it a black one, a yellow/blue one, and a blue one
what is the 3rd wire for? do you know?
and instead of tapping into the green/black wire couldnt you just run it to the fuse box as an accessory?

you might have a knock of harness (not sure)

and i tapped into the grn black because thats how honda made it

OEM ftw!

I don't have a complete harness, just the pigtails
And I know for a fact that its not fake
Its an OEM plug, just don't think its the correct one

But would I be able to just run it as an accessory from the fuse box?
cause I hate having to tap into wires like that

i wouldnt see why not i just like everything original like honda had it. and i would say use the harness but only use the wires that i showed you whether or not it the same color or not just use the location as reference! :thumb:
