I bought the Ichikoh headlights for the xB from Japan. And it didnt' come with all the wire harness. I have tried to contact the company I went through to possibly get a parts catalog and so far, no luck. Is there a place or company that could manufacture a wire harness? All I need is a adapter harness from the turn signal to the stock OEM turn signal and wire harness to hook up to the lil light that is underneath the high beam.

on my first gen bB headlights, i just busted out some wire, solder, and shrink wrap, really all you need to do to just make your own, just mess with the wires to find out which wire controls what ;)

I don't mnd spending some loot to do it right than doing it the ghetto way. Its' done the ghetto way and I am surprised that the cops haven't really pulled me over for not having my parking lights on during the night.

How could they tell you dont have parkers on? The parkers should be drowned out by the headlights right? Or are the parkers the orange ones? In Australia they are 5W white lights that are invisible at night...

When I turn on the lights, they don't come on. The reason is because I don't have a connector to connect it to. That is why it does come on. So my friend took a wire and some connectors and connect them to the little light under the high beam. So that is my parking lights temporary. I am using LED bulbs.

how mine work is there is a dual filliment high and low beam bulb, 12v driving light, and the blinkers, the blinkers do not come on when the headlights are on (how they are in japan as well) and i haven't been pulled over yet, but cops around where i live are not the smartest anyways.

and i wouldn't really call it ghetto by any means, if you know how to do it right and clean, i have no butt connectors and no electrical tape on the whole install, just solder and shrink wrap, then i have "U clamps" (don't know the proper name right now, i'm really tired =(...) with the plastic taken off of it and the shrink wrap touching the very edge so theres no exposed wires and looks stock plugged into the harness....the only other way your going to be able to do it probably is get a harness from a bB then work wiith that, but once again, you would still have the wiring job to have them connectect, so the choice is yours, i just cut out the middle man and the cost and once again, it all looks oem back there (the little bit that you can see)

Thanks for the little help on wiring. I did manage to find a company that could make the wiring I need to connect the lights and make them work as they were suppose to. I am not certain the price on this, but I think it should be a reasonable price which I am willing to pay. And if I were to part away with the box, then I can return it to the stock headlights and back to normal by removing wire harness. I wouldn't want to see the lights with the box.
