[D3xn2o]

Some one have the DIY Laying around or something im doing some 04/05 type R headlights since my car was crashed into and yea i need the diagram


Someone PM me for Email :violin:

[MOOGEN]

Ocelaris makes badass harnesses... I hope he don't mind me posting his harness diy from a different location.

here is the diagram.

THX dude...

[D3xn2o]

I'm not sure if I can post this link here but one of the homies on this site makes badass harnesses for our cars. GL!




I dont trust other people with my Wiring... Sorry thats for that tho I just need the DIY Ima do it myself and improve on the Wiring Design....


For now ima do the halogens but ima do a whole HID DIY for this With Relays and all i just need to kno what i need to wire up for 04/05

[MOOGEN]

instead of the ballast, just plug those into your lowbeam headlights. The halogens are not polarity specific so it'll work. GL!

If you don't trust him then I don't know what to say because I'll back up his craftsmenship any time of the day.

Hey d3 can you edit that link to hidplanet out of your post. I tried to ninja delete but you were just too fast. LOL :mtongue:

[D3xn2o]

Thx for the Diagram Im making a plan now...

[D3xn2o]

I finished up the Driverside harness I think its a bit overkill but screw it Ima do a HID Plug and play kit for both lo and high so this harness should be perfect my setup...

It involves 4 relays and lots of wires Im tired I need 2 more relays cause i only bought two soooooo Lots more to do 2morrow yay! :violin:

hopefully the lights come in sometime early next week and i get my car back or maybe not but whatever


I need to remember to get connectors and relays tomorrow

Im running low...

four relays are overkill. You just need to design the harness to work in parallel. It'll just be cluttered. save yourself the money because this diagram is simplified to work at its best but whatever floats your boat.

I'll Eventually Redo the harness to make it alot more simple and with better gauge wire but im working with what i got.... :scared:


I'll Finish up 2night and post pix of the harness's and i kno its over kill but better save ya kno

Well im actually shaving the sidemarkers on the bumpers you kno those amber ugly ones that dont flow with the car at all....


Sooooooo the harness for those lights are gonna be unused....

Im gonna cut the connectors off of those and use the connector for the marker lights on the new headlights.. they seem to be the same connector... sooo it should work just fine cut the old one off and put these in simple enough


and finally i did finish my 9005-9006 convertion harness... here are some pix

I simplified and used 2 relays 14 gauge wire and lots of time...

The blue connector is the 9006

Black is 9005

2 ground straps for each head lamp

the fuse holder and H4 connector... turned out nice im happy...

Oh and i added some wire loom to keep that stock feel...

[bdooley]

not too shabby im impressed. well see what happenes when the time comes for mine lol

Nah I looked at the set up and i was like hmmmm a little bit thicker qire would work great for this setup so i just rewired and only used 2 relays it worked out... hope OCEL would be proud


BTW Thx For the HELP..

:)

[CastorTroy2]

if yours work, ill pay you for one. b/c i suxors at wiring..hahahaa

you are correct... but with little mod.

[d-unit]

you are correct... but with little mod.

what kind of modification?

[MOOGEN]

I think you gotta shave a little off of the male plug. You'll see when you do it. Its really easy.

this is the harness rallylights made me, can you take a look at it and let me know if everything is kosher, and what i have to do to use it?

thanks homies

any bah-D thur?

[D3xn2o]

Ur getting Legit JDM's Aren't you?

Cause im getting the DEPO Reps and it seems that the 9006 - H1 Jumper connector is already on the assembly so all i did was a good old H4 - 9006 , 9005 harness

I'd be more comfortable if those 2 female connectors you have there where a 9006 connector then just use the prelude jumper.. ya kno

[BeaterEP]

Bumping this thread for some info, plus it's chock full `o lighting knowledge, so figure it couldn't hurt. :mbiggrin:

I picked up a set of standard, USDM 04/05s recently to throw on my 03. I've been looking in to the wiring harness workups, and this thread obviously came up. Unfortunately, some of this stuff doesn't make sense to me (not much for wiring beyond basic electrical installs in the house :mtongue:), so I'm looking in to buying a harness instead. I've got a PM in to Wayne at SSR, and I was diggin around on SUVlights as well.

My first question is about the suvlights harnesses; has anyone used them, and which one [I]specifically[I] should I pick up for my needs? It looks like they sell one that's a 9005/9006, but does that plug straight in to the 02/03 harness (where applicable)?

Help me out here guys; I want some nicer lights, but obviously can't be bothered to figure it out on my own! :mangel:

[Marc-111]

nice info here...thanks!

[BeaterEP]

Quick update, ordered a harness from www.suvlights.com/ (http://www.suvlights.com/) after emailing back and forth with one of their guys. He recommended this harness (http://suvlights.com/product_info.php?products_id=114), with a comment in the notes to the effect of "H4 to 9005/9006" so they'd know what it was for.

So when it and the lights come in (hopefully next week) I'll check it all out and report back.

so is this the wire harness for 02 to 04 light, i too is looking for a set too... let us if it work man

[BeaterEP]

Quick update, got the harness and parts in last week, and did the swap Friday afternoon. Everything went pretty well, got the job done (kind of) and the 04/05s are in.
Link for the harness I used: suvlights.com 114 harness (http://suvlights.com/product_info.php?products_id=114)
Like I said earlier, if you order that one and put "H4 to 9005/9006" in the notes when you order it, and it should work fine.

Now, like I said earlier, the job is kind of done. Turn signals. I knew that the 02/03 sockets wouldn't fit in the 04/05 housing, but I figured I'd give it a shot anyway, see if I couldn't shave `em down or something. Nope. Ordered the new sockets yesterday, hopefully they'll be here mid-week and I can get those in.

And I have a question on that end: the sockets are different, but are the plugs on the harness side different, too? I couldn't find an answer on that anywhere, so if someone knows fill me in. I assume if they're different, I'll need plugs w/pigtails so I can splice those in in place of the current plugs. Somebody LMK about that, so's I can order my parts LOL! My turns are stuck in w/electrical tape right now, all ghetto style!

EDIT:
So just went back through the thread, and found the link to modding the turn signals. Seems the connections on the harness side are different, but all the pics from the DIY thread are dead. Anyone got pics/info?
LINK: 04/05 Electrical Connections, Front (http://www.providencehondaservice.com/order-parts.aspx)
So, found that. Looks like it's probably part number 8, but there are two of those listed, and I would still need pigtails. Anyone know if that's right? Or, if not, which parts do I need? :shrug:

[BeaterEP]

Sooo, no one has any more info on the turn signal conversion?

[siR02ep3]

I got some depo projectors i will be puttin into my car here pretty soon this thread might actually help me out a bit with making the harness with a friend.
thanks a lot guys, since there isnt many threads on this issue.

[tindrumstoo]

ahh, i too am in search of the part number for the turn signal plug that inserts into the headlight.. (the piece that holds the bulb AND what plugs into it) then i assume i just splice into my current turn signal wiring to get it working. of course im sure this would all make more sense if i had it laying out in front of me, i havent started ordering parts just yet...

[siR02ep3]

where do you find h4 male connectors besides ebay?

You ever sort any of that out? Got the sockets (that insert in to the headlight housing) a week or so ago, still not really sure about the other side of things though...:shrug:

[Draw7Seven]

Man, I need to check this section more often. One of the mods did a 02/03 to 04/05 DIY thread before, I want to say that was OneGlory? It is kind of a splice, but if you do it right you can always switch back, it's incredibly simple (don't you dare go spending another 73 dollars, sheesh). I did my own version of it where I couldn't easily swap back to 02/03, but it worked well enough for my Depos (for a while). But maybe shoot OneGlory a PM and see if my memory serves me correctly.

My summer plans include redoing my entire Depo/TSX retrofit with full DIY thread explaining every single step in layman's terms. So hopefully there will be a very informative thread coming to life in the next few months, I know we've lost a lot.

[BeaterEP]

Dayum...yeah, where were you a few weeks ago?! :mbiggrin:
Let me ask you this man, what's the part number for the harness-side connection for the 04/05 turn signals? Started a whole other thread in the Lighting forum, but everybody's too busy talking about Mugen license plate bolts to bother with my thread! :gheywa:

BUMP FOR MY KNOWLEDGE. Making that harness!!

[tht1guy]

can anyone still make one of these harnesses I'm terrible with electrical wiring and I'm going to buy these Depo's from moonsi and want to get them into my 03...someone shoot me an offer I can make some trades or pay some cash!!

[ImportCustomx]

If someone Compiles all of the information into 1 post..i will make it the #1 post and delete useless comments and someone can make this an actual "How To"...

[Draw7Seven]

If somebody mails me their parts, I'll make the harness, take pictures, turn it into a DIY, and mail you back a completed product. If I don't have them in front of me to fiddle with, I'm not sure I could do it again... I don't own an EP anymore.

Moonsi gives you the harness on the DEPO headlights. Since I was 04-05 I have an extra harness to do the conversion. But if you plan on buying the DEPO from moonsi, he'll provide you with the 02-03 harness for plug n play.

[Jdmdomo]

This write up , its what I need at this moment . To convert mine.

[Kerby]

easiest was to convert to 04 05 headlights is to buy my car..... :mangel:

[k20r]

Sorry for bumping an old thread, ive bought depo headlights for my pre-face now i'm stuck with the wiring i'm NOT using hid just normal bulbs.
who can post a picture or a link to the wiring as the ones posted are long gone.

Thanks!

hi im also interested In this diagram but unfortunately it says photo not found?

hi im also interested In this diagram but unfortunately it says photo not found?

if ur ordering the 04-05 Depos.. they should come with conversion wiring for 02-03... nowadays.. there's no point in going with 04-05 OEM ones..
