One of the sockets doesnt sit in right, but it holds enough to where it wont fall out. You have to lengthen the wires for the JDM lights as well.

all of the JDM sockets are different than the USDM ones... You will have to modify ANY set of JDM lights if you want them to fit 100% correctly.

hmmm

i think rickygoshdarn has a set for sale also ive installed more than one pair of these without extending wires chris is right you should probably extend them but if your willing to pop out a few clips you dont need to extend anything id rather break plastic clips than cut into wires.

basically your doing this. there is a clip that is taped! to the side on th driver side you cut that tape and pull a little bit dont be scared of breaking things just pull damnit i think there is one you CANT SEE too a little lower just reach for it. the one thats taped is in plain view...on the pasanger side all you really have to do is this.. the socket that you would plug the wiring into for the LED board is on a little track on the headlight pull it off the track it wont break or anthing its ment to come off. when you pull that off it makes enough room :P the end lol.
