You can't buy them. They are custom ones done by me.

Only $400+? I've heard of custom jobs in excess of $2k... What parts did you use? Did you buy another set of headlight assemblies?

grnlude

Labour's what costs the most.

I got all my parts from the US:

The projectors are: Honda Accrod Euro
Ballest and Bulbs: Matiusha ballest out of a 350Z and Osram 4300K bulbs.

plus nuts and bolts, angel eyes and ABS sheets for cosmetic trims.

I did buy a set of second hand headlights which ran me about $500. But I didn't inculude them in the price. You don't have to buy another set if you can have the car off the road for two three days.

Hmmm, sounds like an interesting project. I'm currently studying engineering, always up for a challenge :) Did you get most of the stuff off eBay?

grnlude

The lights aren't for sale. I'm trying to work out something with a supplier in the US so I can make these for other 5ht gen Prelude owners as well.

Most of the stuff was from the US and the other things were from a HID Forum.

I'm studing Engineering as well and yeah, the stuff you learn comes in handy for something like this.

Thanks man. For the type s foglight kit when i order it is it easy to install. Or do i have to get professionals to install it in my car?
Did you have any trouble installing it?

ludecrs

10-11-2005, 11:05 AM

easy to install DIY. Hardest part is finding the screw for the front bar indicators. After that its easy as pie.

Let me know if you 2 guys want a set.

Im ordering in 3 sets RIGHT NOW, so yer.

THey are in stock on the 16th of November, and the company will post them out after that.

Yes the projectors take D2S bulbs. I have a custom harness to power the ballest. I didn't want to connect it directly to the OEM wiring.

Yes, you can use the parkers. The Low beams the only part that's modified.But I took the bulbs out because of my Angel Eyes.
