In Canada we had an Acura CSX, the front end and rear end is similar to FD2 Type R. If I were to buy a FA5 im not sure if I part out parts from that Acura to the conversion
Hey bro not sure if your still active looks nice but I was wondering how the fitment on the FA5 bumper is I keep reading the every where that there’s a nasty gap between the light and bumper but yours looks fine. I ordered my trunk and taillights already was really not planning on a bumper
@@nathanthao7 Sorry I missed this! There is no gap between the bumper and the tail light, but the tail light sticks out from the bumper... about the thickness of a quarter, maybe a nickle? Not sure. It doesnt bother me much

My relative in japan is the middle man. I just let him know what im looking for and he lets me know if something pops up. I dont know exactly what source he goes through
This is awesome. I really want to get me a 06 - 11 type R sedan and convert it. It looks so nice, and very unique here in the states. How expensive was the whole procedure ? I really want to do this.
I was able to source out the trunk and lights from a relative that lives there. So i was able to get it at a good price. The authentic ones can get costly but deals do exist. There are reputable replicas out there.
Can you do a more in-depth instructions on how to convert usdm to jdm rear end. Plus i would like to see the fitment of it where the tailight's base meet the bumper. Thanks and cheers. best video on how to change csx rear end
Ok o I just need to do that instead of buying those harness connectors I can just splice wires into the bulb connection smart idea man
Can you post the link for the license plate adapter
Can I do this on my Honda civic sedan EX-L 2011
hey bro. can you send me the link to the license plate lights im going to need. PLEASE REPLY THANK YOUUU
What about the socket that’s next to the reverse light socket will I be able to use my honda socket for it?
That one is from the factory too. The only one that required modding was for the reverse
Would I be able to cut off the pig tails from my original trunk like would they fit the jdm trunk instead of getting the ones from eBay ?
To my knowledge there are none to use that you can recycle. Just get those sockets and call it a day
Yea I ordered them but the guy doesn’t even answer and some reviews say that the package never arrived
Do you need a different bumper or can you ised you oem american bumper
Can use the USDM bumper... the tail light will stick out a little though... maybe the thickness of a nickel. It doesn't bother me personally
@@barracuda316 thanks
Overall cost?
Varies depending on condition and where you get the parts.
Can I do it on my
FA1? isn’t it essetially the same
As far as i know yup!!
how did you connect the turn signals?
Turn signals are the same
Superrrr well done video.
Did you have to make a custom bracket for it to stay in? I heard some people had to do that
You taking about the lights? I didnt
@@barracuda316 yeah I just didn’t know because I’m about to do mine here in a min and heard some people have to use one or something
@@LowStyleMac just had to cut/drill into the frame to get it to fit right. Thats what I did
@@barracuda316 thanks
Where do you buy the parts
I was fortunate enough to source them out from Japan.
Do u have Instagram bro
@@yonyachans.5182 @ricecardriver
Hey did you use the original bumper are did you get a new one
This is the usdm bumper 👍
Yo bro how did you extend the wires???
I just had my own wires around the house. You can get them like home depot or even walmart
Beautiful job man!
Dude, do I need to change the rear bumper or not?
No need to. The light wont line up exactly with the usdm bumper but it doesnt bother me
@@barracuda316 nice, thx brother 👍
Is there any way you relative in Japan would be willing to ship a JDM trunk to me? Having trouble finding OEM parts.
Sorry theyre not in Japan anymore :/
@@barracuda316 damn. I wish I came across your youtube page when I was in Hawaii. We could've linked up.
What did you do for the tail/brake lights? Isn’t it LED in USDM not for JDM?
I just used the original bulb. It fits
what kind of bulbs are you using for those lights?
The reverse lights? I think i got them from superbrightleds.com but i switched them out for even brighter ones
@@barracuda316 link to the new bulb socket for the reverse light?

Also trunk latch. Did the oem USDM Latch fit or did you have to make it a JDM one?
You talking about the latch thats on the trunk itself? I used the one that was on the trunk already so prolly a Jdm and it worked with my car
So is it $45 for a pack of two of those reverse light sockets or $45 for only one of them since it has the quantity
It came in a pack of 2 for the quantity of 1. Thats what happenes for me 👍
In Canada we had an Acura CSX, the front end and rear end is similar to FD2 Type R. If I were to buy a FA5 im not sure if I part out parts from that Acura to the conversion
Im not 100% sure, but i believe the parts are the same fitment wise

Hey bro! I was wondering the same
Do you have any updates on this?
@@nathanthao7 Sorry I missed this! There is no gap between the bumper and the tail light, but the tail light sticks out from the bumper... about the thickness of a quarter, maybe a nickle? Not sure. It doesnt bother me much
You mind telling me which kind of sockets you ordered for the reverse lights and bulb size?

The bulb is simply a 168 or 194 bulb type
*_Awesome Conversion, I’m in Hawai’i too!_*
(๑╹◡╹)ﾉ"
Nice man! Is that your car in your avi? Nice front 👍
Do all your lights work when brake presses or only corners? I just did a conversion but only corners work when brake is pressed
Only the outside light up
Did you need to change trunk latch from USDM to JDM?
The trunk came with the JDM latch. It worked
no need for latch replacement
John Nguyen thanks for the confirmation!
Hey Bro, I also have a friend in japan. Is there like a place where i can source the bumpers and such? I been searching around but I can't find any.
My relative in japan is the middle man. I just let him know what im looking for and he lets me know if something pops up. I dont know exactly what source he goes through
Bro I might be a little late but I’m just wondering if you had to change the trunk harness ? Or were they just plug n play
I think youre talking about the long black one? No that works... just need to extend the reverse lights
Please bro show a night mod too
Night mod?
Sick bro. Now do the front fd > fn
hey very nice done! may i know where did you get the trunk from?
I got it straight outta japan as i had a relative there to send one over to me

Where did you order the kit from? ZestJDM?
Marcus Azo no it's an actual trunk from a type R in japan
If I lived in Japan, my first goal would be to convert my TypeR Sedan lights to USDM; they just look meaner and more aggressive.
@@icecreamalacarte jajajaja americans want to be japanese, and japanese wants to be american jajajajaja
rafael rodriguez yeah that's how it be
@@barracuda316Where did you end up ordering from?
The usdm plugs fits in the jdm bulb sockets
Which usdm plugs and which bulb sockets are you referring to?
