I bought 2 legit clean sets and my install went smooth found the pigtails wired it up and was good to go!

where'd you get the harness,... or yours came with it?
 
I did everything by hand... Man I would have loved to have pigtails.. I even pmed you.. I wish you would have told me
 
mines didnt come with it got pigtails through my buddy shop he had a few variety pigtails and sockets that he order from japan and I wired a harness myself..I know you pmed me but I didnt have it at the time remember I told you... by the time i see you got yours installed and say your going a different route with connectors so thats what i thought but I just recently got mines together and installed after yours

By any chance would it be the same for the OEM HID projector version?

Yes and no.
The HID itself isn't like the projector, so it's not plug-n-play. There's additional wiring involved for the ballasts which isn't covered in this article.
The DRLs should be plug-n-play.
The parking and turn-signal require the same custom harness outlines in the DIY.
 
Jasonandre, awesome writeup! Just finished my harnesses and a relay harness from scratch too and they turned out awesome. I just got a pair of hid projector headlights from UAE and was just about ready to test run when i realized im missing 1 turn signal socket, same one that you`re using here. Now i can modify my harness and use a part# 33303-tr0-A01, but id have to modify the socket even. You wouldnt happen to know a part number for that 2 pin turn signal socket would you?

I wish I did. I just assumed everyone received the socket with wires like I did. I'm still shocked they're selling these headlights without them.
 
Darn, time for plan b then. like I said not the biggest deal though...trim 2 tabs, put some extra material under the gasket to take up slack and utilize just one element in the bulb (or 2 out of 3 contact points in the socket)when wiring it up and bingo! Maybe ill do a writeup on socket modification if others are experiencing the same thing. Either way I definitely would not have tackled this whole project w/o your diy (bows to master) lol
 
Honda sells the clips and pigtails you need. I can't remember the part number off the top of my head but it's in the retrofit thread I made.

04321-S5A-307 harness clip
04320-SAA-A00 pigtails
 
Got the clips and pigtails, i finished making the harnesses already...it's the actual 2 pin socket that the wedge bulb plugs into that I dont have I've been trying to find a compatible part from a usdm honda/acura, but no luck yet, so I'll probably end up modifying the 3 pin socket instead
 
Is anyone selling a harness that's already made so it'll just be ready to plug and play.?
I wrk overnight shifts so I dnt get much time to do much DIY's lol
 
Awesome I wish they came with black housing. Still I may buy them. This DIY will really help.
