i will check this on my car and will post the way i wired it up tomorrow. I ended up using a 95-96 harness on my 98 and wired the three wires so low filament would be on while the lights were on. The high filament I wired to the flashing corner, so when i turned it would light up brighter and be a secondary turn signal. but you can do what you want.

thanks slimer, seems there are 3 wires running into the stock harness so it shouldn't be too bad lining them up on the H4 harness

but the corner light's stock harness has two wires while the cefiro corner harness has 3 spots

also, is your above post talking about how you wired the other bulb in the main headlight housing


sorry, i've got em fitting really well just realizing there's three bulbs

do you have the harness for the corner light?

also the little city light that is in the headlight housing you can wire to the same spot.

i had to use the stock harness (where the bulb fits into) and modify it to fit the cefiro housing. actually, i used a 95-96 because i wanted to use the hi-lo filament.

do you have pics of your set-up?

if you cant host them, you can send them to belikelucy@aol.com

ps, i wont be able to look under my hood until at least 5 o'clock, im at work and its hailing outside. dont want to do it until i get in my garage.

this is what i'm working with.....i don't have a harness for the corner light but it has spots for three wires

i'm pretty clueless on how to wire up the corner and city light at this point

however the H4 headlight shouldn't be too bad since the stock harness has three wires and the H4 does too

you have to take your stock corner and cut it to fit. then you wont have to rewire anything.

for the headlight, i will be home soon.

Can you get a H4 plug n play harness of some kind? I am going to be installing my Cefiros sometimes soon as well.

there is a harness, but you have to cut yours. i double checked a chilton's service manual wiring diagram before i did anything, but i can read those easily.

if you need any help when you wire it up, just email me.

a flood, did you look at the write-up for the installation?

yeah, i got mine in and they're looking good


i'm waiting til tomorrow to wire them up, so no rush looking at yours

that does make sense just to custom do my stock corner harness to fit....too bad the lights are already on

it does take a little modding. did you put them in so you can take them out easily?

with the supercharger, i needed something that could come out easily.

oh yeah i have them in there and they'll come out in a snap

the install just took a little longer than i though; probably because i was too picky about fitment......but its true the longer you spend trimming and fitting, the better it looks

Wiring everything wasn't too bad or anything. What would you say the most difficult part is? I am going to be going by the how-to writeup.

The hardest step definitely is getting your weather stripping to appear "nice" in the gaps.....so you just go back and forth trying new things

but i have them in, wired, and looking good...thanks slimer for dealing with me

A_Flood. I honestly was the third person on this board to have it done, after angie and mattel. Its good to be able to help people

Looking at it towards the firewall, the colors of the driver's side is black (left) green (top) yellow (right).

sorry it took me so long. i have worked 2 12-14 hr days in a row.
