Default JDM headlamps

Well, as dumb as a question as this may be.....

I got in a small fender bender with my S2000 and screwed up one of my headlights so I ordered the JDM headlight and sent my car off to the shop to fix the damage and replace my headlights. I got a call from the body shop stating that the turn signal sockets will not plug into the JDM housing. Are they different in Japan? I find this to be quite odd. Can ANYONE clarify this for me? The ones that don't fit are the two on the left, are the JDM sockets different than the USDM?

Yes, the sockets are different between the US and Japan, so you need to purchase a different set. I don't remember the part no. off the top of my head but they might be found on civics or other honda's, check with your dealership.

I have my car at the Honda body shop and they can't figure it out. I am in desperate help and will pay pal some one $50 if they tell me where and what to find. thanks in advance.

What would be EVEN better if someone has the JDM headlamps to chime in and tell me what they used.

Heh I do have Japanese headlights ('02 Spec) I bought my sockets from ricks2k.com a long time ago but now they don't offer then anymore. I'll see if I can get the part #...

Oh man... it's a lot tougher finding the sockets compared to the time I got mine. This website sells the JDM headlights:
spwindustries
You might want to contact them and ask if they have any of the sockets for the JDM housings. You might also want to ask Stratocaster if he has any available, even though ricks2k.com stopped selling them.

Holy Crap I'm wanting JDM headlights! Are the JDM headlights HID too? Most of the ones I find say projector headlights.
