ok thanks. i got it.. but now... no one ever mentioned anything about the connectors for the ballast were completely different! what did you guys do?
i also found out that one headlight is JDM and one headlight is USDM.. as stated the threads the JDM turn signals plug up fine and the USDM turn signall you need to modify the connector with the 06+ ones.. but BOTH 06+ headlights have the same round connector for the ballast which is where my thumb is in the picture below. my point finger is pointed at the old headlight ballast connector..
HELPPPPPPPP

i got it to work. the 6k bulbs i had didn't work. but when i put the stock bulb back in it worked fine. i'm good to go.. thing is though i bought turnsignal SOCKETS instead of the connector! doh!
since my JDM headlight plugged in just fine.. the other headlight i left disconnected. whoo knows when i'll do it again to fix it. pain in the *** lol

It could be my old one sold on ebay back in early 2009.
The only issue I had with that JDM headlight was the HID cutoff line. That I do still remember. lol
For USDM (LHD), it goes up and then to the right.
For JDM (RHD), it goes up and then to the left.
The good thing is you get to light up wider area, the bad thing is you will blind the oncoming traffic a little.

Bringing this back from the dead as I go through the '06 front end conversion and still have questions after reading this thread.
i have an 02 sc430 and bought the following:
'06 front bumper
'06 grill
'06 headlights
I read that I also need to purchase d4s bulbs for the headlights and turn signal connector wont fit. what exactly didn't fit so I can purchase the item? the car and the parts are in the shop so i cannot compare. for the turn signal, is it the bulb socket that doesn't fit? do i purchase '06 bulb socket then solder it to the old ('02) harness?
Anything else i need to modify or look into? I don't need the AFS to work.
Thanks all!
