This is the first guide posted on my blog so far so i'll start off with something simple. As many know Japanese cars differ quite a bit from the euro cars in some areas. There are many small differences which are sometimes quite annoying, such as the headlight bulbs for the quadlight ep82.

First of all get the right bulbs, the High Beam and the Driving Lights are both HB3 bulbs. I put a set of Ring Ultra Xenon bulbs in the High Beam and Ring Ice Blue in the Driving Beam to mix it up a little.

When you take out the original bulbs and compare them to the new bulbs you notice that the little clips are different and are required to be filed down to make them fit. The best way to do this is just using a small file and matching it up to the original bulbs, but making sure its fairly accurate otherwise it might disturb the light path from the lense.

The Driving Beam bulbs also need one other modification to fit correctly and thats filing the guiding pins inside where the plug goes. On the original bulb it only has one but on the HB3 it has 2, these need to be also filed totally flat or near enough in order for it to fit correctly, once that is done everything will work fine and you have an extra 5 watts of power now too.
