horus1970 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) i need a new passenger headlight as mine has been splashed with paint stripper or something coprrosive, tried pollishing it out but its almost all the way through,, my question is can i fit a uk model headlight in a jdm car? or are the plugs in the harness different on jdm? if so is there any way to convert mine to accept uk headlight,, anyone had this problem,, new light is £1000 so looks like second hand one is the order of the day.

ZMANALEX Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Depends what is fitted to your car at present. JDM are usually 6 pin and UK are usually 8 pin. The extra 2 pins are for the head lamp self levelling. An 8 pin headlamp can be fitted to a JDM with a bit of wiring work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have headlight washers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have headlight washers? no headlight washers, came with rear and front cameras, rear is controlled by reverse gear, and for front 2 cameras there is a button fitted to side of footwell that lights up red and has jap writing on it,, Edited October 10, 2015 by horus1970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
