    JDM headlights and turn signals

    Are they a direct bolt-in? or is some modification required in order for them to work? and if yes, what?

    the corner light connector is not the same, you will need to use the one off your stock corner... just match up the wires and go! no need to splice any set of wires together
    Ok...but they bolt right in replacing the stock ones, right? I mean replacing the turn signals, headlights and grill.

      Yes its a straight forward swap...unbolt old existing headlamps, corners, ect... and install new.. You will have to cut and splice the JDM connectors into your wirring harness to get them to work... As the Man said...

          You can find the connectors off the older 323 bf chassis will work or older rx7...plenty of those in the junk yards... The lights that I purchased had the connectors included... most mazda cars below 89 had these connectors...

            And one last time, just to be on the safe side (even though I may sound incredibly stupid saying this) repeat everything one last time in as much a detailed way as possible...please <.<;; >.>;;?

                  Sadly...I got the Japan ones but the connection came with the other socket. So if anything happens the turn signal can be rmeoved like the US was (if that makes sense).

                      Obviously no. The connectors are completly different. I got my connectors from a second generation RX-7 in the junkyard, spliced my factory ones and connected the RX-7 ones. Then the JDM headlights are a direct bolt-on of the USDM ones. As for the turn signals same thing, only they'll fit in with the JDM ones in place.
