i see that there is a sticky identifying every part number for the usdm headlights and taillights. before this...loss?...there was a thread over here that identified all the parts on the edm projector. would anyone happen to have this available?

i need this information so i can find out what bulbs i need for the city lights, the turn signals, and high beams, in addition to what connector i may be able to find that will connect to the leveling motors :thumbu:

don't you have an 04/05?

1) the high beam (9005) and turn signal (7440 or 7440A) bulb/socket/pig tail is the same from the stock USDM 04/05 headlight.

2) for the city light (168 or 168A), you can use the 02/03 city light bulb/socket/pigtail.
3) for the low beam in the projector, it depends on whether you have HID or halogen. for the HIDs, i got the TSX ballast pigtail from acura. the bulb would be a d2s. i remember it being pretty pricey for a freakin pigtail. for halogen i believe its H1. you could easily make a harness that converts the 9006 to a H1. you could get these parts from any auto parts store like autozone or pepboys.

Bruce had a DIY for the leveling switch and harness, but i believe it's gone due to the 2010 crash. he modified a ebay fog harness. you're gonna have to source a leveling switch. either SSR, meklz or mr-alternative could probably help you.

if you need help, PM me. i think you're more or less local to me. i owe you for helping me with those LSD/6speed questions i had. hope this helps though

thanks for the response, mike--i definitely didnt know where to start for the city light.

i actually was able to source an ebay fog harness, but i am still missing a few connectors. i was able to get the connector that matches the leveling switch (and just about everything else), but i need to pick up the connector that matches the leveling motor. mr-alternative was able to source me one of them, but that was more out of luck than anything. i am looking to see if i can find these part numbers so that i can put that harness together :thumbu: i was hoping bruce would chime in--right now though im in no hurry--id just like to get these headlights out of my room and on my car.

off topic, but when are you planning on installing that lsd and 6 speed?

my ep got totaled two weeks ago. the tranny i was building never made it onto the car. i had just taken the tranny apart, didnt even get to press anything in..

so yea, the city light is kinda tricky. you can buy the city light plug from showstoppers or SSR. but the city light from an 02/03 stock USDM headlight will work. i reused mine when i went from 02/03 usdm to LHD EDM HID projectors. you do have to kind of wedge it in there, but i works. no leaking or movement of the socket when it installed. the main differences between the 02/03 USDM city light to the projector city light is that it is slightly longer. you could source the proper city light like i said but i dont think its worth it. just make a trip to a junk yard.

for the leveling motor, i just used female quick connect/spade connectors. i ran it for approx 4 years with no problems.

no kidding-what happened? hopefully everyone was okay in the incident. any plans for what you're doing with all those parts?

if its not going to be another ep, are you willing to part ways with that leveling motor harness?:mangel:

I concur. I have EDM halogens that I'm in the process of converting to LHD HID. I know there was a thread that listed the part numbers for the screws that hold the ballasts to the housing, the cap, gasket,and screw that go over the back of the low beam opening, and all of the other sockets etc needed for the conversion.

so i looked on japanparts.com, and i found the following image:

from that i know i am missing number 16 and 19, but it doesnt specify the parts for the leveling motors. would anyone know what these part numbers those bulbs and leveling motor connections would be? :mfrown:

JapanParts looks like they have most of the parts but they don't give Honda part numbers and do a terrible job of explaining what the parts are.

The leveling motors are made by Hella. You can't buy them from the Honda dealer separate from the housing at most dealers and the one or two that I found want about $150 each. One of my motors broke in shipping so I found this:

http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-R32_MKIV--3.2/Search/Leveling_Motor/ES2365/

From the pictures it looks to be the same mounting design. The plug is different but since you can't really get pigtails for either this will have to be some sort of custom wiring job (If you find any pigtails to help wire these please pass on the info).

This should clear up your part number questions:

I'm not sure why some of the numbers are missing.

Update:

Here is a parts list from Portugal EPC. It has a more complete set of part numbers.

For the ballast, if you want to run an all OEM setup, they use the same one from an 04-05 tsx. They're made by Mitsubishi Electric. Cheaper to get them here (Ebay is a good source).

If you want the leveling switch, the PN is 35820-S5S-G11ZA

I know there was a post that is currently lost that had a whole list of what you need to retro the 04-05 headlights with HID into an 02-03 EP. One of the details was the fact that Honda doesn't sell the low beam cover in the US. They do sell the gasket and the screw to hold it on. The post said that there is a comparable part coming from a few years of the NSX. Does anyone have that part number?

Also, for those wiring up the leveling system, what are you doing for pigtails? I have the motors and the switch and I really don't want to do it any way but the right way. Does anyone have any ideas?

andre (mr-alternative) can provide you with those covers if necessary. from what i understand usedep3 used quick connect/spade female connectors to put his harness together. on that note though--in your wtb thread, mike, you mentioned you found the pigtails at acura. if i go over to an acura dealership do you think i will be able to source one of those connectors? outside of the fact that i overlooked the fact that the hi beams are h1 rather than 9006, i am pretty much ready to put it all together.

How do I reach this Andre? Maybe he can do a better price than $13 each from Japan Parts.

I'd also be interested in which pigtails usedep3 got from the Acura dealer.

his username is mr-alternative, and before the crash he was very quick to respond--i am sure that little has changed in that respect. he was very supportive in all the questions i had towards acquiring 90+% of these parts. the remaining 10% of it is kinda tricky though since no one seems to have all this information in one place...:mfrown:

ok, so i couldnt find my old invoice. i bought them like 4 years ago.

anyway, i did some research and i think this is what you guys need.

http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/acura/jsp/mws/catimgs/14sea01_b0720.png

i believe you need part no. 1 and part no. 10.

the actual connector is part no. 10 (HID headlight low - p/n 04321-SM4-406). it comes in a bag of 5. looking back now, i got screwed by my dealer. he charged me for each individual part instead of the bag of 5

the pigtail you need is part no 1 (p/n 04320-SP0-D00). these come in a bag of 10. again don't get screwed. make sure you get a bad of 10.

here's the link for the website i found the parts on : link (http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/acura/jsp/mws/prddisplay.jsp?inputstate=5&catcgry1=TSX&catcgry2=2005&catcgry3=4DR+TSX&catcgry4=KA6MT&catcgry5=ELECTRICAL+CONNECTOR+%28FR.%29&ListAll=All&vinsrch=no&systemcomp=List%20All&vinnoT=&trim=&trans=&view=normal)

again, it's been 4 years since i bought these, but i'm pretty sure that this is the pig tail you guys need for the HID ballast connection.

the high beam uses a 9005 bulb. you can get the proper pigtail from any autoparts store. they usually come 2 in a package

Yea that's it. I bought my stuff from The Retrofit Source so they sent me a jumper to go from that to the subharness they make.

Are there any Euro Honda dealers that have online catalogs like this? I have used Lings to look up some stuff but they require you to enter a part number.

I'm going to bring this back from the dead because my headlights still aren't in yet... but I bought some parts and have some updates.

The NSX low beam covers (33127-SL0-A01) mentioned above do not fit. They almost fit, but I'd have to slap silicone all over them and then they would never come off again if I needed to replace a bulb.

My other two options are:

1. (33127-S6A-J71): This is the above part listed from the Honda Portugal EPC.

Confirmed by Ocelaris here:

http://honda-tech.com/showpost.php?p=12183508&postcount=15

2. (33127-SL0-G01): This is the part number I believe is listed at JapanParts here:

http://www.japanparts.com/db/partslist.php?KEYWORD=&dealer=3&car=52&middlesmall=2%3A20&maker=&VOLKEY=

Does anyone have confirmation on which one works? Or a better (cheaper?) source to get them from?

I bought 2x 33145-SL0-A01 which is the gasket for the low beam cover mentioned above. These look to be the right size but I can't confirm until I get the correct cover.

I bought 2x 33305-S5A-003 and 2x 33303-SAA-003. These are the bulb holders for the turn signal and city light. These fit although I still have to figure out how to wire them up.

Awesome. I'll order the caps. Mind sharing where you got them? The only place I'm seeing them online is Lings for $18 each plus s/h.

Also, what did you use to plug into the sockets for the city light/turn signal? Did you find connectors/pigtails? Or did you have to make something.

Your ballast gasket is the same number that I found, but the spot where it goes on my ballasts are different. I got them used and the screws line up with the housing, but I don't think the same gasket would work on both. I'll upload pics later.

Thanks for the pics.

No problem.

I got them and everything else, aside from ballast, ignitors, bulbs, and harness from Germany via Andre (mr-alternative). I have a '04 and the turn signal and parking lights are the same. If you have an '02-03, you might have to buy new connectors/pigtails, though I'm not sure. Check the thread that lists every light #. The high-beam gasket is the same as the '04-05.

Here's a pic of the ballast. The gasket goes around the circular portion in the middle of the ballast. You'll see when you get everything. There's a hole in the bottom of the headlight housing that the gasket seals when the ballast is screwed to the bottom of the headlight.

don't mean to thread jack, but i found this thread relevant to my question(s) and figured i'd save from starting another thread lol.

i'm expecting my CTR LHD projectors to come in the end of this week. first, i was wondering about the top corner lights on the projectors and what their proper name and function was. are they pretty much equivalent to city lights? and looking at the diagram, it takes the same size bulb as the USDM city light bulb (#168)? and finally, that same bulb always seems to be amber whenever i see it. do pple just replace that bulb with an amber one? cause i know my USDM city bulb sure as hell isn't amber lol.

thanks in advance :thumbu:

Yeah, it's an amber bulb (168). The bulb isn't overpowered by the low beam like the stock '04-05's. It sits above and to the side, as opposed to directly below.

I believe the ballast on the left is from a '04 Acura TL, which would need a different gasket. PN: 33146-SL0-A01 from http://www.acuraoemparts.com/delray/jsp/prddisplay.jsp?inputstate=5&catcgry1=TL&catcgry2=2004&catcgry3=4DR+BASE&catcgry4=KA5AT&catcgry5=HEADLIGHT&ListAll=All&vinsrch=no

Also, I'm not sure if the dimensions are the same. If they're not, it might not bolt-up flush.

mage182
06-15-2011, 05:58 AM
You are a plethora of knowledge.

I'll order one of each. I measured and they look to be the same dimension so they should mount up fine. If not it's nothing a little silicone can't fix.

I'll also contact mr-alternative to see if he can help me finish up my parts list.
