Don't know if its what you're after, but my g/f and I ordered a set of headlights (the diamond cut style) for her Prelude from www.ozeparts.com.au (http://www.ozeparts.com.au). Cost around 70 bucks with shipping.

We had bought new globes but the previous owner had replaced one of the actual lights with a sealed one.

my account name is the same "makaland" thanks azjs.

Redtag that site looks awesome thanks for that, yeah the globes that autobarn are selling aren’t that good neways, H4's I think.
Does ur g/f have a problem wit the lights at all? ne globes that are specific for that type of head light?
Also with the backing of the headlight, there is a 3 face plug, do these lights come with an attachment or have a 3 face plug? Just couldnt see it on the picture with the front and back of the headlight.

The three prong plug is the same style as a H4 globe plug. You should be able to put in any h4 globe. All you need is the headlight assembly that allows you to remove just the bulb.

this is what you need. as long as it is the same size as you're previous headlights it should fit in with little or no problems. See the hole, thats where the h4 globe goes in, and it plugs into you're existing wiring harness with no worries.

you see the three prongs at the bottom. These are exactly the same style as the 3 prongs on the back of you're existing light.

You should be able to get this done for $70 bucks + some rice lights.

My g/f recieved the headlights today, 2 days to send is pretty damn good! She also installed them with the "Xenon Opti Blue" lights we bought from Supercheap (The same ones in my Commodore have lasted for 5 and a bit years now, and are a perfect white!)She said they look much cleaner than the old ones with the beam pattern on the glass. We'll try them out with some quality Philips bulbs, and maybe take pics this weekend.

They just take H4's as was said previously, same fitment as the sealed headlights.

Hi there, I'm using the diamond cut semi sealed beam with H4 globe. I think it looks pretty good. I'm using Philips Blue Vision globes.

Here are a couple of pics for ya.
