Getting the JDM headlights for $265... - Honda Prelude Forum

Padge · 11-12-2002, 04:29 PM

But I can not install them myself because I am at school, and I dont have tools. I also dont want to have to wait till summer to install them.

Will shops be willing to do it? Or is there anyone in the area that might have some experience?
Thanks alot.

what do you mean by "do it"?

PreludeChick89 · 11-12-2002, 08:42 PM

my bf is cute but he doesn't swing that way! lol

Padge · 11-12-2002, 09:03 PM

phew.. i was about to reject your offer.

hahaha

The bumper is definitely not easy but it's not a clutch replacement either. Get a harness, you should do it while you have the bumper off and your lights will be brighter (higher voltage.)

BTW, I thought the bumper was a huge PITA but that might be just me...

do you mean bulb harnesses? cause they come with that.

AND bulbs. We got a hell of a deal. Did you pay for yours already? I paid for mine this afternoon. I'm excited.

Congrats on the purchase Padge.

Bring them to the meet this weekend and I'll install them for you.

You can make the trip to my house anytime and I'll help you in any way I can.

This is what I mean by harness but it took me a while to get mine from suvlights.com

Padge · 11-13-2002, 09:32 AM

Thanks Mark! but I wont have them till probably next week

Ryan, I am transferring the funds now from paypal... we got the greatest deal I have seen yet (bulbs, harnesses and renewed!)

ME: I see what you are saying... the wiring will definitly confuse me.

Everyone: Is there anyway to wire these so that they work just like they are meant too? With all 3 lighting opportunities, the city lights/driving lights and High beams?

Mark94 · 11-13-2002, 10:17 AM

No problem Pat, if you ever need help you can stop by anytime.

As for wiring them the "JDM" way, yes you can. It has been discussed here many times and can be accomplished using relays (too sophisticated for me) so I opted for the easy way and I couldn't be happier.

Just do a search and you should find many threads discussing hooking them up with the H4 as both the high and low beam and the H1 as the city or fog light.
