Help got broken JDM's - Honda Prelude Forum

j_t_heilbrun · 10-25-2002, 08:08 PM

I just received my black housing jdm headlights

. The only problem is one connecter is melted, the other broken. One H4 connector has 2 wires the other has 3. One corner light has 3 wires coming out of it the other only has 2. The lower mounting bracket is completly broken off. Will any of this matter?

pics dont work, nor the link (im not a member). Did you pay regular price for them?

j_t_heilbrun · 10-25-2002, 08:37 PM

I paid 305+ shipping The one's in the picture were perfect. If I can't use them without the long lower bracket that is in the middle of the bottom part of the light. It extends about 4-5" from the assembly. If they will work without it I'll keep them if not I'm gonna try and get a new set.

Some Pics

Notice something missing?

Thank you, how did you do that?

MR.CLIFFORD · 10-25-2002, 08:52 PM

You have to take the orig.jpg off the end of the link. I just fixed it for you

I don't know much about the lower half of the stock light setup. Take a pic of the back housing for the JDM's. I wanna see it. Does that bracket come off?? Like you could replace it with the USDM bracket?

j_t_heilbrun · 10-25-2002, 08:56 PM

No, It's completly broke off.

j_t_heilbrun · 10-25-2002, 09:54 PM

Missing the lower mount

The lower mount on the driver's side

And another view

And a side by side

Well it won't be as 'secure' but you can use the lights without the bracket.

The corner lamps don't matter because you are going to use your USDM corner lamp plugs, you don't rewire those, so you can just throw those away.

You can get H4 harnesses from any civic....look in a junkyard

But you only need 2 wires to do the jdm way...as I explained in another thread

JDMs loook so nice... even broke. Good luck fixing them, if you five up on them let me know, Ill buy them off you.

j_t_heilbrun · 10-26-2002, 12:02 AM

no way I'll never sell them they are too awsome

j_t_heilbrun · 10-26-2002, 12:03 AM

If I ever get them installed they will have HID's

92 SI Ludester · 10-26-2002, 12:05 AM

sorry to hear...hope you get them fixed and installed soon

spunkk55 · 10-26-2002, 12:07 AM

i feel ya man. thats what my jdm's look like. its all good though. the bracket is not an essential part to the light. i installed mine without and it looks good.

j_t_heilbrun · 10-26-2002, 12:18 AM

you were able to install your without it. Good thanks that's what I've been waiting to here for the last 5 hours. I' think I'm going to try to rig up a braket though just for a little extra support. I don't want extra vibration especially if i get HID's.

I dug through the box they came in and found the bracket that was broken off. I am going to use a panel bonding adhesive to put it back on. It will be just as strong if not stronger than origional.

I also found some connectors for my headlights. I work at a NAPA store and I thought I would give everyone the part number for the H4 connectors.

Echlin Part Number: LS6479
NAPA Line Code: ECH

MR.CLIFFORD · 10-26-2002, 11:14 PM

Nice Cell Phone!

Thanks for the part numbers. I am about to buy some JDMs myself!

j_t_heilbrun · 10-26-2002, 11:17 PM

Thanks it's the motorola V60i it was their newest model about 3 months ago. I had a star tac for about 3 years and it was a piece of crap. The V60i is awsome though highly recommended.
