| Tools Required:
10mm ratchet and socket
At least an 8 inch extension for the ratchet and socket
Small and medium flat head screwdrivers
Medium Phillips head screwdriver
Wire cutters
Wire crimpers
Electrical Tape
Small Connectors
30amp Fuses (at least 4) |
Step 1: Remove the six clips on top of the bumper. Use a flat head screw driver and be very careful.
Tip: You may want to put a piece of tape around the end of the screw driver for extra protection from scratches. |
 |
| Step 2: Remove the six clips on the bottom of the bumper. There are 4 across the center and one on each side in front of each wheel. |
 |
| Step 3: Remove the four screws from the bottom of the bumper. There are two on each side in front of each wheel. |
 |
| Step 4: Remove the two screws that are located in the fenderwell. There is only one screw per side. It is located in between the bottom and the top of the fender. |
 |
| Step 5: Remove the top two 10mm bolts from each of the headlamps. |
 |
| Step 6: Remove the 10mm bolt on the side of each headlamp. |
 |
| Step 7: Using the socket and the extension, remove the bolt on the inside of headlamp. It is located right below the thin part of each headlight. Disconnect all other bulb harnesses. Remove the bottom metal piece (10mm bolt) from the stock headlamp, install the metal piece onto the JDM headlamp. |
 |
| Step 8: Remove both of the 20amp fuses from the fuse panel in the engine bay. |
 |
| Step 9: Cut the low beam wire harness off. Make sure you leave a some amount of wire on harness just in case you ever want to reinstall the stock headlamps. You also want to leave a large amount of wire because it has to attach to the HID ballast. Attach the small connectors with wire crimpers. You may want to cover them with electrical tape. |
 |
| Step 10: Install the headlamp and ballast onto your RSX. Don't bolt down, just attach the connectors onto the ballast. It should be red closer and black further away. |
 |
| Step 11: Then install one of the 30amp fuses into the side you are working on. Turn on the headlights to test them out. If it doesn't come on, switch the wires and replace the blow fuse. Do the same thing for the other side. |
 |
| Step 12: Once both side work, reconnect all the other bulb harnesses and install the bolts in the opposite way from above (extension bolt, side, then top). |
 |
| Step 13: Reinstall bumper reversing steps one through four. |
