Mod: Headlight Replacement

Modification Type:
Appearance/Electronics

Difficulty of Install/Modification:
Easy

Preparation And Install Time:
15 minutes

Another easy modification.  Not as short as the JDM Corner Light article but pretty short.  Anyhow, my current headlights were crap.  So what did I do?  Get another set of crappy ones.  Later on, I will upgrade to a Raybrig-based headlight.

Let's begin.

Here are the generic headlights.  At least the bulbs are decent.

Figure 1

Popup the headlights and unscrew these screws as designated in the figures below.

Figure 2 (one screw)

Figure 3 (two screws)

From here, all we have to do is remove two screws on top and two screws on the bottom and take cover off

Figure 4

Pull out the headlight

Figure 5 (see the harness?)

Here is the back of the new headlight.  Remove only the plastic.

Figure 6

Insert the bulb and clip it back on.

Figure 7

Reinstall the headlights and viola compare the lights between the stock (right) and the new one (left)

Figure 8

Here is the resulting shape, power, and coverage of the new light (left) vs. the old (right).  Not so good huh.  I guess this will have to do for now until I get the Raybrig bulbs.

How much were the original (EuroLite) conversion housings?  I want to convert mine because the stock headlights are ridiculously dim...

Just curious, have you seen any good aftermarket taillights? I've seen custom jobs, but I was looking for some to get rid of all the orange...
