JDM Headlights

Praetorian_1975 · Jul 13th, 2004, 08:57 PM

I had just installed and purchased these aftermarket headlights and encountered a problem: The parking light bulbs are too big to fit in the holes alotted for them. Does anyone know what type of bulb would fit for replacement and where I can get them? I have a 93/SE and 'supposedly' the JDMs are universal fit for all models. I heard that this is not correct. If so, what is the difference?

Do you have a link for a picture of the replacement headlamps? I am not sure what type of a bulb socket they have. Does it have a small twin slide in plug or a round one with two tabs on the bottom?
I'll try to help the best that I can.

They are similar to the ones on this site:

I think they are H4 bulbs that go in the parking light lens. They are round and with two tabs.

Does the bulb socket look like it would fit this 1157 bulb?,

or a wedge shape like a 194?,

or the larger H4?

Troy:

It is an 1157. I'm thinking that (i've heard this elsewhere) that the GLE/ GXE differ from the SE models when it comes to headlights. Maybe that is what the problem is since I have a SE? I"m thinking about just sanding down the holes to where the 1157 bulbs fit. Unless someone knows of some 1157 bulbs with a more narrow bulb?
