Default ap2 headlight conversion question

so i searched on s2ki for some answers and this is what my conclusion came to. I can use my ballasts from my ap1 for the ap2, but i'm goign to have to shave down some stuff to make them fit because the ap2 ballasts are smaller. With that being said what about the turn signal and what not. The white circle next to the turn signal light wtf is that? day time running lamps???

The white circle next to the turn signal is the Parking Lights.

Both parts numbers for the turn signal socket and the parking light socket differ from AP1 to AP2, however, I'd think they should fit.
The parking lights are the same bulb, but the signal lights are a different bulb. If one wouldn't fit, I'd imagine it'd be the turn signal socket.

Here are the part number for an AP2 turn signal socket: 33303-S2A-A00 $5.00 part from Bernardi Parts.

Yeah those are the parking lights. The whole sockets are actually direct fit into the ap2 lights also. When I did this on my ap1, I twisted out the sockets out of my ap1 lights, and put them strait into the ap2 lights no problem.

Haha yeah. Yeah that is a good deal for the ballast. Remember to make it all plug and play you will also have to get the ignitors, and the main wire from the ballast to the cars harness.

Here is a diagram

The ignitor is number 12 (remember this is just for 1, you need 2. Same goes for the main wire)

The wire you need is number 14

Members a while back were able to make them I guess. There was a guy here that had a Suzuka one so I copied it, then put a the mugen top on it in paint. I have only seen the Suzuka, NFR, and Laguna ones.

Yeah that would be cool. So far this is the best I have seen for people that want to use thier ap1 ballast and stuff.
