help on jdm harnesses please! - Honda Prelude Forum

orangecrush · 04-19-2002, 09:33 AM

ok my jdm black housings are going in sat...except that as of now, all i have are the harnesses for the corners. at work, we do have cars that use an H1 bulb, but we seem to be out of both those wires and H4 wires, if you can believe that. it seems that honda does not like H4 and H1's.

in any event, i'm not worried about theH4's - i know plenty of other cars use them and i can get a harness anywhere. but the H1...nobody seems to use these.

can anyone tell me who else uses H1 bulbs (ie who else i could call for harnesses) and/or a way to mickey mouse this **** until monday when i can order a new set of harnesses for everything? i hate to mickey mouse ****, but i'll be damned if i put these in and then leave the car sitting in the bay until monday or tuesday cause i can't drive at night with no lights

thanks

well i did the ghetto way for now...just open up the two wires for high beam and attach it to the H1 bulb...that should work for now...

Follow the wiring diagram on HP.com. I basically wired it so my H4 act as low beam and when i click on high beam, the H1 and H4s are on. I didn't do the H1 driving light thing and using H4 for high and low. Basically I have the HID kit for low beam only, so it's all good. How often do i need High beam HID anywys?
