and like any projectors from usa, if you get them you will need to take them apart and flip the projector cutoff shield to make the cutoff right for aussie roads so you dont blind other drivers.

yes...infact i do.
one i wrote up for preludeaustralia.com
so its for the prelude projectors, but would be a simular process for others.


just did this so i thought i would fling up some pick and let people know whats involved in the process.
it is nowhere near as daunting as it looks. took me less than an hour while watching southpark. and i am not the best at this sort of thing.

(note: i am not responisible for any damage cause in the process of undertaking this process yourself using my instructions. ie...dont sue my arse.)



FIRST...you need to purchace a set of ebay projectors for the 5th gen lude.
these are the ones i got:
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/Manabir/headlights-1.jpg

now gather the tools needed:
- new headlights
- oven
- 2 knives (crap blunt ones...they will be ruined so make sure you dont wanna keep them)
- phillips head screwdriver
- hotglue gun


next you need to heat up the oven to 140 celcius.
once its at temp turn it off and pop a headlight in there.
leave it in for approx 7 minutes.
take it out...be careful not to burn yourself.
this should have gotten the glue nice and soft.
using the 2 knives pry the lens off the backing. you dont have to rush it...but dont be too slow as the glue will solidify again given enough time.
also make sure that you catch any strands of stretched glue before it lands on the reflector...dont wanna have to try to get that crap off.

repeat this process with the second headlight.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/Manabir/Headlightsapart.jpg

now you have to undo the hight adjustment screw on the back of the housing.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/Manabir/HLBack.jpg
once this is all the way undone you can pop the reflector from the backing.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/Manabir/Projectorback.jpg
undo the 3 large screws around the back of the projector bowl
the whole projector bowl will now come out.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/Manabir/Projector.jpg
undo the 4 screws on the back of the projector bowl to pop it apart.

one its apart you will see the little metal shield. pick it up and put it back the other way around.
original way (lhd):
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/Manabir/Shieldbadway.jpg
new way (rhd):
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/Manabir/Shieldgoodway.jpg

now reverse the process to reasemble the lights.
using the hotglue gun to reattach the lense to the backing.
now your ready to put them on your car and have fun.

i dont have any pics of them on the car as i dont get the car till next week...but i will add some once i get them on.

i know this isnt MAJORLY indepth...but it is a very easy job and what you have here is all you need to do it. i did it with no idea other than the temp and time in the oven and that i had to flip the shield.

plus i am crap at writing things. thats why i got straight D's in english and kept loosing marks in math for not showing workings.

goodluck.


EDIT:
2 quick additions.
i found when i went to put the HID globes in that they wouldnt go straight in.
i had to get a small round file and file a small bit off the bottom of the globe slot.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/Manabir/filedforhid.jpg
photo isnt the best...but its only about 3x3mm files from the centre of the bottom of the slot.
then the globe goes in perfectly.

and secondly...here are some pics of them in using 6000k HID.

does that mean any TYC projector will work with a HID setup?? like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TYC-96-98-CIVIC-PROJECTOR-HEAD-LIGHTS-HEADLIGHTS-CHROME_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33710QQihZ025QQi temZ380004303207QQtcZphoto

if they say "wont work with HID" or anything along those lines its because the HID globe wont fit.
if you file the little bit out like in my write up then it will work.

mine were advertised saying they wouldnt work with HID...and they are fine with HID.

but i thought it had something to do with the materials that the projector was made out of....ie angel eyes aren't good because the projector lens is made out of plastic....so how do i tell the difference???

Manabir

even ones with plastic lenses are fine.

people crap on about how "HID runs hotter so it will melt the lense", "HID is hotter so it will melt the housing". etc.
crock of sh!t.
HID runs colder than halogen globes.

so ignore when they say "cant be used with HID".
they are just saying that the globe wont fit...not the materials arent up to the job.
just file a little bit out and you can run HID.


as i said before...mine were advertised as not able to be used with HID.

they have been in the car for a total of about 4 months now...with the lights on everytime i drive...and they are still in perfect condition.
i had them out a couple of weeks ago and had a good long look at them...inside and outside...and they are still fine.

okay....im going to try it and put a HID setup in angel eyes. is there any specific thing i need to look out for....ie does the angel eyes need to have a specific globe (like H7) or something??? aso will i still have high beam??

yes, the HIDs have to have the same bulb size as the ones used in ur angel eyes (mine's H3s, dunno about urs, could be H1s)...and yes, u will still have high beam, but u might lose ur low beam when u use high beam due to the H4 relay on the headlights wiring...that's what happens with my angel eyes, though it could be a different case on other brands of angel eyes...also, just for a lil advice, don't even think of using HIDs for ur high beam, cos:

1. it can be really blinding
2. it takes some time for the HID to charge up
3. u seldom use high beams and if u do, u only use them for short periods. it's recommended that HIDs are not to be lit up for short periods of time too often or it will shorten the life (i have done that accidentally), which in turn is a waste of money.

important note: don't forget to lower ur beam direction so u don't blind oncoming traffic cos HIDs (as most people say) can do that...

i've been using HIDs on my angel eyes for over 2 years, not a single problem with cops even when the cutoff is actually for LHD...

hope that helps;)

Tail lights i have the same ones but they are from Em1s. Head lights are I have no idea. Maybe its sum deadly USA head lights where australia is poor to afford them.
