opinons on these 1pc headlights

[cb7lover1982]

1. Yes they are 100% Authentic

2. You have to cut your harness and use the sockets it comes with. You also may have to cut a lil piece off the housing if you're running a USDM bumper. It's really easy to do and there is a DIY around here.

3. It's around there but I personally think thats pricey. I've gotten some for 180 shipped before. If there are some that have a light haze and is cheaper I would get it.

Resurfacing plastic lenses is easy. They'll look brand new.

Good luck with your find.

my cb was made in japan so will i still have to cut a small piece of the housing? also these are the only ones on ebay i could find. is there anywhere else i can look to find these?

Even though, if it's a USDM bumper you'll need to cut a little piece on the bottom of the housing next to one of the tabs. Let me try to find the link, or you can do a little 'searching' and find it in the DIY section.

H1s are fairly easy to find. Its the H4s that are hard to find.

WTF? We have tons of these locally.

H1 and H4 bulbs are fairly easy to find but the h1 will need an adapter(mine does) which I havent been able to find.

what if i were to just buy a jdm bumper would this fix the problem or is it easier to just cut my exisiting?

Locally. You're in socal.

No. Itd be cheaper just to cut your US bumper.

You don't have to cut the bumper. You have to cut a small notch out of the headlight bracket. It took me maybe two minutes for both sides after i set up my dremel.

I think you should get the harness from password jdm because it costs just about the same to find the pieces you need to make them and gas to get them. They also look nice in your engine bay compared to spliced wires IMO.

It is true you may find the headlights cheaper but that is about average on ebay for a buy it now. I got mine shipped from japan for about 160 but that was a while ago and a deal I couldnt pass up.

I paid $250 for mine and they came blackhoused...

[kouzie]

you paid $260 bucks for one piece headlights?

Right around it..Why?
Its in very good condition..

do you possibly have pictures of where you cut the notches or will i be able to see where to cut them when i mount them?

i will be definitly getting the harness from password jdm. also i have seen a few posts saying you have to modified something with the h1 bulb even if you get the harness? do you or anyone else know if this is true?

No modifying needed to wire them up. Buy the harness plug and play!

wow thank you so much i will wait and see when i get these to see if i have to make the cut. the 9293 should be the same if i do need to make the cut right? i will get the harness also then to save myself time. plug and play sounds good to me

[Fatman88]

No problem. Its should be the same, but you will certainly find out soon.
