jdm headlight install problem

Kitt · 01-21-2005, 12:08 PM

I'm trying to install my 02 jdm sti headlights, but the passenger side headlight won't go in because there are things blocking it. Did anybody else have this problem? If so what did you do. Thanks

Its pretty straight forward, it took me all of 15 minutes to do both the lights. You sure there isn't a cable blocking on of the clips?

you can't just put it straight in like the driver's side. you need to put the bottom in at an angle then tilt the top in. after it clears the frame, then you line up the rubber plug on the outside. hope that helps.

The turn signal/parking light plug was hitting the thick wrapped wires, it's just too thick to bend out of the way. I was able to install it the headlight but I had to remove the plug from the plastic bracket to allow room for the cables. Thanks guys
