I just thougt about getting some USDM-tails & corners, so that I can change everytime between JDM, EDM and USDM. Also the JDM-corners are not allowed here, because there one sign on it missing. It's an e in a circle. On the USDM-tails they are, but on the corners? Can somebody take a look at and tell me if they had?


I read on this site somewhere about converting/modding JDM corners to have dual bulbs
unless the e in a circle you are talking about is like a saftey mark or something on the lens?

JDM-corners have two bulbs.

Yes, it's somekind of saftey mark. We have a very strict techniqual control here in germany. If you have some parts at your car which are not checked by the "TÃœV" the police for example could get your plates and your not allowed to drive it anymore. It's difficult and some kind of crazy - or simply overdone bureaucracy. ph34r.gif

I only take the trims. A friend bought this complete set only because of the rings and nuts, so I get the rest nearly for free.

No problem wink.gif

The muffler is a bit louder that that one I had before, but the chrom-trims with the absorber are missing. I just try to get them too. Can't say anything about more power or so, because there was something wrong with my old one. Makes mysterious noises - like there was a rusty hole, but there wasn't. It feels like I've some more power now, but I'm not sure that it was because it's a CR-X AS muffler or because the old one was shitty...

Here are the pics:



Original part from Honda smile.gif I got it from eBay for cheap.


That one on the top is my old one.

I also installed the steering wheel:

It's so simple...^^
...if you had this port on your radio.

Most of the old radios have tham. Mono-radios with 6 pols and stereo with 8.

I only know who to make by the mono-radios...

All you need is the plug for that port, 3 cables and simple socket for the AUX-IN.

One cable you connect with the ground-cable from the radio itself. Than you connect one cable with pol number 1 from the DIN-plug, the last cable you put on pol no. 2.
Now you are happy that the sockets are so practical build. It has three pols: One is near the hole where the aux-plug came in - thats the ground, so put the ground-cable to that pol. And than there are the two other pols at the end of the socket. One goes to a little plate which was pressed by the side, when you put in a aux-plug. That one is for the cable, which is connected to pol no. 2. And now there is only one cable and one pol left. So connect both and you are ready.

Now you can listen to the radio, and if there was only shity music or you just want to listen to you own music, just put in the plug and you will here the music from your mp3-player or laptop or what ever you connect with. If you remove the plug from the aux-socket you can listen to the radio again.

Simple but great smile.gif laugh.gif

I haven't brazed the stuff yet. I'll make some pics if I do it.
