I was having problems with my standard headlights clouding up and wanted a refresher. If you are like me and have damaged your headlights then this might be for you.

 

Our standard headlights usually go for 400 a light. I searched online and found that JDM lights from RSK B4's look the same. Decided to get one and fit it into my B4. They are not a direct bolt on so you will need tools to do this.

Size 10 socket

 

And a philips head screwdriver.

First remove your headlight with all 3 connectors, Highbeam/lowbeam, parkers and blinkers.

 

Then using the size 10 socket remove the 3 bolts holding the light on.

 

Proceed with removing the light, you will need to be careful not to break the white clips holding the light on.

 

The parkers and side blinkers have the same housing so we don't need to worry about those.

 

The high/low beam connector is different.  JDM is 4 pin ADM is 3 pin.

 

Remove the holding clip and remove the pins from the ADM connector using your pin.

 

You should end up with something like this.

Plug the pins into the JDM harness

Since the the JDM harness has 4 connectors you will neeed to splice the cable using your wire stripper. Solder the two positive connectors together using this wiring diagram.  headlight.pdf   28.98KB   18 downloads

 

Temporarily plug the light in and fit it into the chasis again and test.

Repeat for the other light and you're done.

Now we just need someone to jump in with a step by step on the HID Levelling Switch install.

Hell yeah,

 

I need that shit too.

[WillC]

my install switch is on the way. I toqol a look at the schematic. It is Diy able and ill write ip the pinouts when im done

[Beckers]

Thanks mate,

 

I had a look at the schematic from the service manual also, I was just not 100% sure the best way to make it.

Once im back on night shift, I'll write up a diy on the levelling gear. I had to make up my own plug to go into the cabin switch. Other than that, the loom is simple to make. I've got a highlighted copy of the wiring diagrams that you need to make, and also where you need to get your power for it from (the proper circuit etc. )
