Replacement Headlamps for 2002 Honda CRV Sport

[AndrewJames]

Hi

My headlamps are faded. I realise there is kits from the likes of Repco involving various levels of sanding and some with the UV gel to protect them after you restore the clarity.
I hear too many stories about needing to keep restoring the headlamps every 6 or 12months despite the UV gel.

So I rang around for a brand new aftermarket headlamp, these

Depo units, I think its part code is 217-1138- , 2nd down on the right column.

only $118 each compared to $470 ea from Honda.

Has anyone done this changeover? used Depo? other replacement headlamp suggestions?

Or even different headlamp styles but still slot straight in.

I also found these variations on the standard Honda OEM replacement, the two to the right.

I would upload the image but the forum appears to only allow linking to a url.

I assume the twin projector models though require H7 globes and wiring mods?

yep had the same problem with faded headlight plastic covers ,i did the rejuvination kit polish and polish some more but it did work just need a good drill coreless so its not to fast and about 1hour per head light
came up almost like new and passed a rw test 5 months later and still good so for a few bucks and a bit of time give it a shot i used the permatex brand but i know maguires have just released there version ,around $50 shop around on the phone for prices
