These are pictures during the final stages of the outcome of my KA7 JDM to USDM project.
I did photo document earlier on, and will have pictures of
the finished product on the car work and beam patterns what have you to show you that the results are infact good.
Picture of modified JDM lamp housings using the 9006/9005 which creats a seperate Low and High beam area via the stock USDM harness (no more JDM wiring bulb worries)
Pic of Back of KA7 showing the modified inner reflector housings to accept the 9006 and 9005 bulbs.
I added a small "Halo" ring in the 9005/Hi Beam cell so as when my parking lights are on the inner headlights will glow with just a slight blue tint. This runs on 2 LEDs via 12v power and 1 resister per side.
Pic showing the older style 4000K 9006 HID setup (AutoLamps type) which I will be wiring in the car at a later time.
Wiring is not complete in this pic, but shows where I utilized a connector location for the inner LED Halo
Picture of Halo at night (remember I will be using the stock JDM lens covers which are the oval inner glass peice and Chrome Bezel) So this will show up as a blue glow and yes you will still be able to make out a halo ring through the outside of the light, but will be completely concealed during the day (Stealty)
Pictures of where I exited the Main Wiring Harness to a new location that works perfectly on both sides of the car for easy harness hookup-re-hookup.
Picture of the main reflector with the HID bulb installed
Rear shot of the assembly, which is almost done, just have to finish wiring from side marker position light and wire in the Halo power and run pigtail connector to mate up with exisiting wire harness in car (I have side markers on both cars so I will have a true JDM look/setup)
1st grey paint coating to clean up my act alittle
In this picture the inside glass lense, chrome Bezel and outter plexi lense are already re-attached to the unit
Whew, It took me 3 weeks on and off and lots of planning to get through both the Left and Right sides.
I cannot wait to get my GS Sedan back with her New Eyes!
I just wanted to share this with my fellow Legend owners
and if you have a need to do this, feel free to contact me and I
can answer any questions that you may have.
Just be sure that you have LOTS OF TIME before taking on this project and or if you can get an extra set of Doner Headlights
So as your car will not be out of commission.
