JDM ITR HID headlight pin-outs... - Honda Forum / Acura Forum

randyman · 12-14-2002, 02:22 AM

This is just a "rough" diagram on how to figure out which pin goes to which certain bulb. Get some "Slide Connect Female" connectors (5 on each housing), color coded wires, and crimping tool. Crimp the wires to the female connectors. Once that's done, just slide each connector to the corresponding pin to power up the headlamp.

The USDM OEM corner lamp (turn signal) harness just plugs in. The fog light can either be powered by using a fog light wiring kit, or by splicing it to the 9006 wires. Make sure to replace the fuse for the 9006's (I used 30 amps). Otherwise, the stock fuse will keep blowing up everytime you turn your lights on.

That should be it. You just need some creativity when doing the wiring. The "Non-HID" JDM headlamp only has 4 pins, instead of 5. I'll post the pin ID's for those too sometime soon.

Also, the ITR HID headlights will not fit "easily" in some 94+ tegs. The reason being is that the upper trimmed (model) integras (LS,GS,GSR, and ITR) have ABS systems. This is what gets in the way. The power steering makes it a tight fit also. These headlamps fit easily on RS models since they don't have ABS (I'm not sure if Acura made ABS as standard for all newer models tho).

Have fun!

Do they have headlights like these for a 97 Accord?

randyman · 12-14-2002, 02:28 AM

no. u will need to modify/fabricate/cut to make these lights to fit an accord.

I just have a quick question, do you know what sort of "glow" the HID lights produce?

Is it the same as other Acura models?

Thanks.

it should be the same light output compared to the other acura and/or honda models...since it's OEM. the lumens should be close to, or at, 4300 K.

i know this is a long time dead post..but i have a 94 teg w/ abs and was wondering if i could fit the jdm itr hid lights in it with the abs....or do i have to get the smaller abs from the 98+ tegs...because my current setup is non hid lights w/ hella kit..but i want more light output...thanks

the JDM HID lamps will not fit in ur teg. if u can swap a 98+ abs (or take the whole abs unit out) unit then it'll fit.

jdmteg2nv · 04-20-2003, 01:57 AM

can i swap out my abs for the 98+ one but still use my old lines..like will they plug up to the new one??

or you can just take off your ballast and mount them else where.

jdmteg2nv · 04-21-2003, 03:02 PM

you can't remove the ballasts from the oem hit itr headlights....

yes, u can take the ballast off. u can take the whole unit off of the headlights. but i'm not sure about "relocating" the ballast and such and still make the HID bulbs light up.

maybe u can extend the wires or something, but since i haven't done this kind of mod don't try it unless u know what ur doing.

i personally haven't done it, but i've seen people do it since their ballasts wouldn't clear.

one "how-to" faq extended theirs:

C-SPEED's teg didn't have the OEM JDM ITR hid headlamps. it's just a non-hid black housing JDM ITR lamps with and aftermarket Xenon HID kit -- just like the pic above.

the OEM HID's ballasts are massive compared to the aftermarket ones.
