I just got my set of JDM tails today and I had trouble and was hoping someone could help me out.

I noticed that the USDM reverse lights had a smaller socket and a different plug. How am I suppose to mod it to make it work for the JDM tails?

 

Have a look at this thread. https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...ram-ges-4.html

I think this is the Part No: 33515-S50-003 Best to check first.

That is the correct part#

 

thanks guys! will post pictures as soon i get the parts.

 

bought the part today. does not work. fits in the socket but the plug doesn't go in.

 

You did update your bulb right ????
W21W bulb (7440)

 

yeah. i bought bulb. but the green plug doesnt fit behind the socket.

 

Take a pic for me and I'll see whats up... I also might have a few spare one sitting around if those don't work out...

 

hmmm. I am a little confused. Mine all fit perfect.

This might be a dumb question but you are putting the right plug behind the right socket. The locations are a little different on the JDM light.


You are talking about the socket all the way to the right in this picture? (this is the backup light socket)


here... maybe this clarifies what I'm trying to say...

 

im pretty sure im doing it right. what happen was when i got these lights i had to take out the brake light and the turn signal bulb and socket from my usdm lights and transfer it over to the jdm tails. the only sockets i didnt have were the reverse lights so i was advised to buy the parts from the local honda dealership...which i did.... and the green plug doesnt fit for the reverse function didnt fit.

 

Does it have an adapter or something?...I'm noob about this too...lol

 

haha..dont worry about it

its not an adapter...it just that the usdm and jdm have different sized sockets.

 

hmm... ok I get you. I do not know. Like JDM_DOHC_SiR said take some pics. Only other thing I can think of is its the wrong part. (but doubt this...if your part is 33515-S50-003)

 

haha..yeah when i got the parts from the honda dealership....i was on the forum and had the part in front of me making sure it was the right #.

its okay tho. the guy i got the parts from is sending me the original sockets. should be here tomorrow. he also included a jazz emblem and an i-vtec emblem

 

cool hope it works out.
Let us know if you ever figure out why it wasn't working.

 

hey guys.....thanks for all your help and support. i finally got my jdm tails installed. the person i got it from (teamfit) was nice enough to rush me the reverse sockets from the philippines in 3 days.

i was hesitate to extend the wires because i didnt want to snap any of them. is it safe to extend the wires so much? i had to use a little force to pull out some extra wire. i hope i didnt damage any of the wires.

 

Hurray!!!

you should be fine on the wires. Mine were a tight fit too due to the length of the wires. I removed some of the stock electrical tape holding the 3 wires together which gave me enough slack to plug the socket into each plug.

so that green plug never fit?

 

nope. the part number 33515-S50-003 doesnt work with the green plug. im taking it back to honda today to return it.

 

here are my jdm tails
