OK guys I just got myself a perfect pair of JDM headlights. NOw the performance shop thats going to put thme in for me says they have to fabricate a bracket for it. Is this true? I some of you guys have a pair of JDMS so help me out here. I wanted to do it myself but im not sure if i can do it .
Thanks
RONINThe lights that I got from the JDM recylcer off ebay didnt come with the bottom brackets. Included in the package was a note that said to use my USDM brackets for the bottom. I thought that sounded resonable and moved on into the project. Well, after getting the USDM ones off the car, I realized that the brackets were not going to go on the JDMs without significant customization. So I decided to leave them off and just use the top mounts that come on the JDMs, and they have been working fine for 2 weeks now.
Did your lights come with the harnesses? If they did hooking them up is a breeze. It would be best to have a second person around to help hold the bumper while taking it off. Other than that, if you can splice a wire then you can do the install. I suggest you give it a try, you will feel much better know that much more about your teg!
HEy thanks. Its funny you got your lights form the same place i got mine…however i think i did get the bottom brakets. they came in a little box so i think everything is good to go. I also have the harness you were talking about . SO i think im cool. Its just me and wires dont get along…well ill give it a shot
Thanks

I did the same thing, so far with no problems
so wait it didt’ come with the black brackets?? if so u should get some, the reason why u should have the brackets on is that if someone trys to steal the 1 pieces theymight just try to pull it out and break the top plastic brackets, (trust me i’ve seen people try to steal these lights by pulling it out) well if the lights did come with a black piece then all u need to do is take the bottom most piece of the usdm bracket and attach it tot he black piece that came with it, (the usdm bracket should have two pieces connected at the middle all u need is the bottom piece of your jdm came witht he top for it’s own, if it did’t, then i’m not sure if both whole pieces from the usdm will fit
Ya i do have the brackets so im cool with that…now that i have them on we found another problem…on the right side the fog light doesnt work…and on the left the headlight doesnt work…so now I have to get the light bulbs. now where could i get them? They are not US bulbs so i know i have to order them but do you know where i can? Till i get them i cant drive my …well at night that is
Thanks

ditto-i just boltes them up with the 3 bolts…you musht need lonser screws in the bottom to align them though
i just put on the 3 bolts at first at night when it was pitch black and i had my lights on i noticed some shaking of the lights so i put the brackets on and i only put one screw in each hole and no there’s no more shaking
