Oh well the other ones were GT Racing and "Egale Eyes" I assumed that was a good quality.

So when I'm tapping into the turn signal wires, I have to look for the odd one out basically? 2 will be the same color, one will be different, I connect BOTH halo lights to the odd one out? (the ground)

Those are fake name brands.

And no. On the back of each headlight there will be 2 wires. A positive and a negative wire. The negative goes to the turn signal ground, and the positive goes to the running light's constant 12V wire. I don't know the wire color, but all three wires on the corner light harness will be different. The ground is probably black... if there's a black wire in there you can just assume it's the ground. You have to do this on each headlight, and tap into each corner light.

I will give you a holler when they come in if I am having problems.. I can do this myself right? I don't need a body shop? Friend told me it's easy to get a bumper off but it's a bitch to put it back on..

You don't need a bodyshop. It's easy to do.

Pfft, I figured as much. Now to search ebay for those light bulbs :P I've messaged the seller asking what size bulbs those headlights fit, so I can get them all at once.

http://www.racinglab.com/nomacowhproh.html -- 35$ shipped, isn't that a bit pricey?


http://www.racinglab.com/nocowhprbu.html - I take it these are all diff sizes?


Also what size are the stock bulbs for the civic? So I know if those fit, to order the Nokya bulbs in those size.

search for them on ebay. I paid like $20 shipped for a pair.

Keep in mind that on the projectors, there are four bulbs (two per headlight housing) and not two (one per headlight housing, like stock and reflector lens headlights). It's also likely that the high beam bulbs and low beam bulbs are different bulb sizes. Your low beams with almost definitely be H1 bulbs though... that's the typical projector low beam bulb size. High beams will be either H3 or H1... probably H3, but H1 is a possibility. You can choose to change all 4 bulbs out, or just the low beams. Or you could do only the high beams but there's kinda no point in that since most of the time you will be using the low beam.



Stock headlights and reflector headlights for your Civic use H4 bulbs (one per headlight). The projectors will definitely not use H4's, as H4's are dual filament (they use one filament for low beams, and switch to the other for high beams) and projectors do not use dual filament bulbs. This is evident in that each headlight housing has two projectors, a high beam projector and a low beam projector.

yea for the projector headlights the light output isn't good. For my set i would say by 50% compared to the headlights i have now. I got the black housing ones like the one nike showed you. Much better and cleaner IMO.
