I've done a Morimoto MH1 retro on my Accord some years ago, and since acquiring the "new" Civic, I admit that I've fallen victim to me having spoiled my Accord. So i plan on doing a retro on the Civic!
However since I want to give some generic/off-brand projectors a shot this time, I have - naturally - run into a brick wall.
The project isn't exactly on hold, as I am still waiting for ballasts to come in the mail, but the projectors have the BiX solenoid leads in what looks to be a "universal" connector socket. The Morimoto projectors have them bare and they connect into a blank 9006/9005 plug with the lil weatherseal boot.
I'm thinking I could try and pull the wires out of the socket and pop them into the same things I used for my Accord, but idunno. I'd really like to use quad high beams as there are plenty of super dark back roads around here that I drive on daily.
Any advice? I have attached a photo of the connectors for reference. TheRetrofitSource sells them too! *head scratch*

Update
Through fairly "extensive" research, I've concluded that these are molex connectors, and the older Morimoto projectors used them!
TRS sells the proper adapter I need, as well.
Much excite!
I hope to make a build thread as soon as all of the rest of the parts come in. Stay tuned
