02 jdm sti hid lights install Q's

I have a 02 wagon and I just got jdm sti headlights. no ballast or bulbs and not sure about wiring. I see the spot for the bulb for the hid projector. but I am not sure what setup to but that will work with this setup. as I have sceen many setups that have wires streight to the bulb where this has a cap. So I am totally lost here. bolt in light ya no problem but wiring and parts I am at a loss as to what I need and where to get it at a fair price or better yet a deal. I am not even sure of the differance in lighting 5000k or what ever. All I know is that phillips is considered the best but hella and cats are not bad idther. I have done searches on several forums and found mainly people asking the same thing or lots of pics of it done. also how do I turn off the day time running lights. Also how is the differance between high beam and low beam considering hid and regular bulb?
thanx

Hi! I saw a similar thread on installing the JDM headlights... don't know if it helps in your questions.

Good luck, and let me know if you got the solution you need.

5000k is good anything above that gets bluer and bluer

day time running lights!!!

you have to remove all the screws from your glove compartment box

there is one plastic one near the door.. you can get that out by slowly shifting the it out with a flat head.. then there is one screw new the foot at the bottom..

when you open up the compartment.. you'll see probably 5 screws outlining the door for the glove box..

after that.. look inside the glove box and you should be able to find two screws on each side

when you're done unscrewing all the screws.. the glove compartment should drop from the left side to right

carefully place the box on the ground.. and you should be able to see three connectors.

black, blue, and then there is one behind those two.. as you can see in the picture..

disconnect that one cable and you're done..

put everything back on and start the car and have fun with the DRL disabled

......... if my instruction doesnt help

good luck ..

JDM headlights? Doesn't that mean the cutoff is on the wrong side...why not EDM, I thought they're the same only set up for driving on the right side of the road...I hope nobody with JDM HID's blinds me...

ok but still need parts to finish this project. need bulbs and ballast atleast. then I need wire harness and the plastic cover on the back of the headlight. can I get info on that please. maybe a pic of the rear of the headlight and part numbers or something for that darn plastic part that is missing.
thanx
