    Beware of cheap e-bay black housing headlights...

    Guys, a friendly word of warning: I purchased a set of black housing "euro" style headlight/corner markers off ebay recently, and THEY DO NOT WORK RIGHT. They are based off the E-spec headlights, so nothing plugs up properly. They mount physically to the car fine, but the headlight plugs don't plug in and the corner marker bulbs dont twist into the corner markers like they're supposed to. Just an FYI. They do look awesome though.

    Thats weird that the **** don't work. Is it possible to make the work?
    I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

          I bought a set recently, earilier this year. I ditched the ugly corners and got JDM clears. I also purchased and installed an H4 HID kit. With the right harness, they work Great! Nice and bright. Check out my Photo Gallery for pics.

            +1 to Kyle's rig. They look awesome the way he has them setup. wish the BG had that.
            No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

              Damn bg don't get no luvin's . I'd luv a set of black housed headlights and corners in j-spec form(since I'm already converted ). It would just add to the "murdered out" style I'm going for.

                  Where can I get the harness from? And does anyone know what corner markers work?

                    The corners are jdm, so you need a jdm harness, It just takes a little modification, but i got the second bulb in the corners wired into my blinker system. They used to be standard equipment on the jdm cars.

                    The harness, I had to make. I basically took new H4 female ends, and two blown 9004 bulbs, broke the bulbs off the housing, and wired according to the stanchens. Ile take some pics tomorrow so you can see what im talking about.

                        and for the corners... there's some usdm light that work... i think it's a toyota celica... go the the junkyard and try to find a socket that fits in there.
