[94 accord] Anyone know where to buy headlight covers?

[Rico]

Well ok I don't know what to call it lol but basically my friend owns the same accord as I do. But my accord has different headlight plastic (like the outside of it). His is clearer and you can basically see on the inside of the headlight (where the globes are), where as mine it has like these certain line grooves all in it and is like blurry so you can't see on the inside. I was just wondering if its possible to buy this stuff, cause just that little thing makes his accord look better than mine.

your mates lights are either USDM or JDM lights, u might be able to track a set down on ebay.

[Rico]

are they stock? Cause he bought his car stock, otherwise is there anywhere else I can get some? and how much would they be?
thanks bro

[Usual Suspect]

previous person may have had an accident or something went wrong with the originals and without knowing or knowing they replaced them with JDM or USDM ones.

www.jdmshit.com they have lots of jdm sh!t, go figure.

[Rico]

ah ha...so it's just the outter plastic right? Not the whole headlight?

[dundas]

i too have seen a few of these accords with the headlights.. old people driving the car too???weirddd

I don't even understand why AUDM spec headlights are different. Ludes of the same era came with clear headlights. JDM accords of this era came with clear headlights. What was the reason to put these ones in anyway?

click on my car under my nick and you will see them...

pretty sure they are jdm lights?

[Rico]

yeah alright lol thanks but i was wondering is it just the outer plastic or is it the whole headlight (including the interior). Cause I'd like to buy them but if its the whole headlight I might as well just get projector headlights.

[ICACHA]

whole headlight including parkers, i got mine from boston in the US with everything else you see on the front except the eyelids which were from Travis @ undereground imports

[Rico]

I'm pretty sure you don't have to replace the whole headlight because I was examining mine and I can take off the outer plastic. My friend and I took our outerplastic off right, and both had the same headlight on the inside, just the outer plastic clear cover was different, now what I'm asking is there anywhere I can buy this stuff?
I found some stuff on ebay US that related to this for example:

if you look carefully you will see that my headlights are black inside.

no no no no no yeah ok I understand that mate, but I'm not asking about your headlights. What I'm saying is that where can I buy the "outer plastic covering" to the headlight. If you inspect your headlight, it's possible to take off the clear plastic covering on the outside. Mine is blurred as in you can't see the inside of the headlight (where the bulbs are) and has these seedy grooves all through it which make the lights look very seedy lol, whereas my mate has a clear plastic covering (no grooves as such) so you can see the inside of the headlight (and looks much better). He and I have both the same headlights on the inside, just different outer plastic covering. I'm asking lol, where can I pick up some of these? Like in autobarn or something?

you can't just buy the glass bits on their own, you have to buy the whole head light. you can find them at honda spares or wreckers complete. no one has the glass bit on its own...

[Rico]

ah ha, so much would a pair of lights such as yours cost?

[joyride]

call up some import honda shops around syd and find out if they stock them.
heres a tip. www.yellowpages.com.au and search for Jap Parts Centre in lansvale, chadderton st.

ah ha, so much would a pair of lights such as yours cost?

mine cost me $250 USD plus freight from Boston USA...

[Rico]

hmmm....I can buy angel eye jdm headlights for about $180 AU (shipped to my house)...might just get that instead :D

[ICACHA]

go for it, i prefer the OEM look over the BMW look :D
