Default Installing Japanese headlights....do I need jdm sockets?

I want to install my jdm headlights tonight, however I'm unsure to whether or not I can install them without the jdm sockets for the turn sibnal/city light bulbs.

Will they work without the sockets??? If not, who sells the jdm sockets???
Thanks!

I think metric sockets will work just fine.

I just put JDM headlights in a cupple of weeks ago and yes u need sockets. The ones you have now are to small,......the hole in the jdm light is bigger I did not know that when i got mine so i just put the stock bulbs and sockets in for now. I got my turn sockets but did not have time to take off the bumber to put them in. If you use the stock ones they will just sit in there and wont be tight at ALL!!! They will be just hanging in there,.....water can easly get in your headlight. Also rember you need to get bulbs to fit the JDM socket.....It takes different bulbs!!!! If you dont put anything in your blinker will
Hope this helps!!!!
