04' headlight conversion please teach me how to...
I'm getting a pair of 04' headlights real soon and I did a bunch of searches only to find that most diy threads for the 04's are for the front bumper. I'm interested in a thread that'll teach me how to do it myself, "04' headlight conversion" from my 02' It sounds pretty easy but want to hear from ones that have done it thanks

I dont wait hooked me up with the how too along with Ben over at AJ Racing. Anyway it took a few hours but it came out great. The main issue with this project is fabricating brackets to hold the square ballast onto the circle (04) headlamp. You also need a dremel to pear down the opening at the bottom of the 04 headlamp. The 00-03 wiring and such will not directly fit into the 04 headlamp. Thats why you need to cut it down a bit. The other lights will fit perfectly. The last thing I did was adjust them to my liking which was a bit lower than stock so I wont blind other drivers anymore. I used to have 01 JDMs and always blinded people. These are much better. Anyway PM me or PM I dont wait if you run into problems. Good luck...

yeah I think the hardest part was tryin to fabricate a bracket. Took us forever to get something to work right. My advice if you have the money, is for you to just buy the 04 ballasts from hardtopguy. I think you can get them for $130 a pop. After you get that, everything should bolt up pretty nicely.

I didn't want to rig my car after all the money I've spent, so I went ahead and purchased the ballasts along with the lamp assemblies from Hardtopguy. Glad I did.
And since I didn't need the lights right away, I had the inserts painted to match.
