yer i gotta have another look but im thinkin.. shit am i ment to have that?
thanks for the quick response
haha trying to become a member.. so ull see a response from me in new integra thread for the next month lmao...
It depends on which year is your Headlamps. If your JDM front comes from 98 Spec then you should have that black box which is the ballast of the HID. This is because 98 Spec JDM DC2R headlamps are manufactured with HID.
96 Spec JDM DC2R is using normal HB4 globe headlamps.
Your HID is not the OEM that comes with the headlamp. It's an aftermarket HID. ie: 96 spec headlamp. :)
Your HID Ballast should be similar to this

Cheers.
riight i will have to confrim that.. coz im sure mine dosnt have either of those 2 ballasts, i deffently know that the black box isnt there coz i do know that mine is 98jdm.
am i missing something that i need? coz like ive said above that my lights are yellow.. would that be the cause? because that black ballast is not there? thanks again for the replies
i thought the black box generates higher voltage of power to actualy get the HID to work but let me no , i may be able to supply lights even a complent front end its about time i emptyed out my garage
If you don't have the so call black box then you do not have HIDs. ie: You are just using normal HB4 globes.
if your lights are "yellow" in colour then your using HB4 globes also your lights will not be sutted to HID's and you will not get a clean cut off if you just put a hid kit on it.....
yer i kno my lights need a clean.. sooo rnt the 98 jdm black housing lights ment to come with hid.. soo im ment to have that black box? or i have to buy a hid kit?
no offense. I don't think your head lamps is 98+ JDM Headlamps. It is most likely 96+.
that s 98spec headlight in pic with factory HID
u said ur is 98 spec should have that black box on ur headlight
u better double check
there s some $$ different between 98spec and 96 spec JDM headlight
