    huh? the stock bumper should fit like a stock bumper, i don't understand the problem. the only thing i can see interfering are the long mounting tabs on the bottom inside front corners of the JDM headlights themselves; those can be trimmed off if needed and some of the bumper cover can be trimmed off to allow the gap between headlights and bumper to be made smaller.

    Yeah that what it was needed some trimming and they panic cause they are not a custom bodyshop...They worked it out without me getting there I hope they did it good, cause bumpers are getting painted now

    Anyone looking for JDM headlights, I'll be selling mine on Ebay is the next few days. I'll post the like when I do.

    For the life of me, I can't seem to comprehend the diode trick. I am running H.I.D so it shouldn't burn up. I feel the Diodes will look cleaner. Do the diodes go after the stock wiring and before the ballast? What happens to the other end of the low beam wire and the and where do you wire the high beam ballast from if you use the high beam wire on one side of the diode and the low beam on the other?

    I'd rather have the knowledge and ability to do it than the money to buy it already done.

    The diodes go in between. So you wanna run high AND low beams at the same time when you flip your highs, and lows only. So the anode you splice into the high power wire, and the cathode you splice into
    Low power wire. What you have done right there is when you turn your highs on, both low and highs get powered. Now you want just lows. So you get your power wire for the low, and solder it to the same diode, cathode side, again.

    Current flows with the arrow on diodes, so when you turn your lows on, power CANNOT turn on the highs. One way valve for electricity.

    I understand how it works I can't comprehend how to wire it haha.

    Lets simplify this fellas. If 8Ga, do this:

    (Jigz I hope you still have this fusebox)



    Don't mind the wire under it, its for my fog trick.

    Place diode this way, Viola! Lows remain with Highs. Will benefit JDM heads and the plug and play aftermarket projector lights if you are 8Ga (99-01)



    And yeah, I went to go throw this together just now for pics sake. Recommended to solder, heat shrink and tuck down this connection I just threw this together for an example.
