Hi there,

Having just bought a 99 Prelude VTI-R yesterday, im excited to become part of the Prelude enthusiasts. The car is absolutely beautiful and having made the switch over from Alfa Romeo, im hoping to restore my peace of mind.

The current headlights are a bit yellow and the plastic is quite scratched, so im posting this thread to find out opinions on the best looking headlights to give my beast a facelift. Ive found a few on ebay saying Halo and Angle Eyes, but i dont want it to look to ricer. Like to keep it stock but want to add a bit of personality.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

Alex

Restore the headlights :) certain grits of sandpaper , then Plastic polish should do the job .

There is various brands of kits at your local auto store,so with a bit of elbow grease you wont need new lights
