they are 2 bulbs. 1 for highs and 1 for lows. h7 bulb for lows and h1 bulb for highs. what do you mean will they fit into the regular housing?

alright ... there's only 2 wires for the blubs in the stock harness, the blinker and the regular light... would i have to wire another harness for the other bulb on the jdm lights?

si senior.. you are going to have to change the socket on the stock wires to the h7 socket also

There are 3 wires on the stock headlight harness.High, low and ground, so you would just have to find which is which then wire them up. There is a tutorial showing how to do it.

you dont even really need a harness
they back of the bulbs you can use female connectors from the wires to the back of the bulbs
you need to wire the high to the h1 and the low to the h7 and split the ground wire to both the high and the low bulbs
H5 and H7 are regular bulbs, you can get hid if you want though

i have mine wired to an h4 socket so its just plug and play with the projectors although when i installed my hids i had to splice into the wiring anyway, but the concept reguardless would be the same just on the other end of the wiring

in general with those 3 wires
your h7 will hook up to the low and ground
your h1 will hook up to the high and the same ground

you may also have to shve a little off the adapter for the corner lght to fit

there should be plenty of tutorials on here about them try looking in the tutorial section

my corner lights fit right in. I am actually using my USDM corner sockets in my JDM heads
