OK, i just went through a lot taking off the bumper and wiring up the left headlight and now i just realized that i am missing the H4 harness on the right headlight. i went to 5 different stores and they did not have the part. is there a way i can hook it up without it? i really need to get these hooked up because i need my car. Please HELP!!
Ok i just picked up the harness. i dont get this though. the one that i got that came with the headlights had 2 wires coming from it. so i wired it positive to positive and negative to negative. but the harness i just picked up from napa has 3 wires so were does the third wire go?? please help!!
to the second filiment in the H4. In japan they only use the low beam filiment in the H4 and use the H1 as the high beam. Just figure out which of the three wires is low positive and which id ground and ignore the other one.
wrong, they use the h4 for the high and low beam, dual filament bulb. and the H1 for driving lights (aka fog lights). If you look in the faq section there is a wiring diagram to wire the way japanese cars are but you'll also need relays which is the first part # I posted. But look in the 4th gen faq and you should find it. If not you can just use your H4 as you low beam and H1 as your high, but when I do it I'll have my h4 for high and low. Any questions pm or email me.

Thats still does not answer my question. i hooked it up like the write up in the faq said. pos to pos and neg to neg now i wire it up like that and nothing happens. the bulb does not light up plus i have that extra wire on the harness and i dunno where it goes. i dont care if i have it wired up the way that will blow the dual filament bulb i just want the dang thing to work!! please Help me make this thing work.
Maybe the other wire hanging off is the ground. Look at the other harness and see which prongs have what color wires and copy on the other side.
j_t: RIGHT!!! the JDm and the Euro specs work that way, ask UKVTEC. Also how do you explain the fact that there are only two wires on every JDM H4 harness that comes with the lights. The writeup does tell you how to wire it so that the H4 is used as the high and low with the H1 as the driving light. Indeed that is how I have mine hooked up. But in Japan the H4 is ONLY low beam and the H1 is the HIGH beam.
well i tried using the other as a ground but it didnt work. so i switched the wires and tried it the other way and it still didnt work!! i dont im ever going to get this damn thing working.
