Well first of all, if they're projectors that are plugging right into you're stock headlight harness they aren't JDM headlights. JDM headlights use H1 and H4 bulbs and require a conversion harness to be used on a USDM car. You're most likely having problems because you bought imitation JDM headlights off of eBay and found out that they don't work the way they were advertised.

Post some pictures of what you're trying to describe. I also don't know what you're talking about with the corner lights, they aren't supposed to flash.

He already stated your problem.

1. You don't know what you have, or if you do, labeled your thread wrong.

2. They're cheap knockoffs so if they don't work right, can you blame them?

3. It almost sounds like a grounding problem or wiring issue. No you shouldn't need another harness if they made everything correctly and you hooked everything up correctly.

Flash, blink, same thing. They just stay on, they aren't supposed to flash or blink.

Were the high beams working before?

If I were you I'd try to send those things back asap if it's still possible and save a little more money to get the real thing. The real ones are gonna be manufactured by stanley and they're all gonna be used.
