here is what is involved:
-take off front bumper
-disconect battery(for safety)
-disconect stock lights
-remove stock light housing
-install jdm light housing
-rewire lights with new h1/h4 adapters
-put in h1/h4 bulbs and corner lights
-replace front bumper
-reconect battery

i'm not sure if that's what you wanted to know. i'd suggest doing more searching with the SEARCH function....try: jdm headlights, jdm lights, and jdm

hopefully you'll have luck installing your lights...it's pretty easy

In order to get the headlights off, you first have to remove the front bumper along with the rebar, which is located behing the bumper cover. They will come off in one piece. To do this follow these steps:


• remove all hardware which connects the bumper cover to the radiator support. Leave the five or six body clips IN which are located directly on top of the bumper cover. Leaving them in ensures that the bumper cover and rebar come off in one piece. REMOVE EVERYTHING ELSE
• remove the little grills next to headlights
• remove turn signals that are located under headlights
• once you remove those, you will see two bolts on each side of the car which hold the metal bumper to the frame of the car. You will need a long extension in order for the socket to reach those.
• then there are two bolts on each side of the car in the wheel wells which connect the bumper cover to the fender. Remove those.
• Place a large thick blanket from your bed under your bumper cover so that if it falls unexpectedly you will not damage the paint.
• Then there is one bolt on each side of the car in the engine bay. There is one bolt kind of under each headlight (looks bronze / gold in color). Remove those. The one on the drivers side is easy to get to but on the passenger side you have to loosen your battery tie down and move your battery out of the way for easy access.
• Then you just have to pull the bumper cover off. When you do this the bumper cover and metal bumper come off in one piece and you don't have to worry about the tabs under the headlights.

It's as easy as that but it takes some time and it is better if you have another person to help you pull off the bumper carefully.

Once you have this out of the way you will be exposed to the headlight assembly and can easily see all the bolts necessary to remove the OEM assembly. Wiring you can get from HP.com
