EP3 Facelift

Headlights: H1 (Dipped), HB3 (Main)

I'll be careful with this. I believe JDM facelift uses D2S bulb for their low beam hids. I think H1 are used by UKDM spec and also uses a different headlight housing even though both are projectors.

Facelift Headlight Unit - No.1
HB3 Light Bulb - No. 7
D2S Type HID Light Bulb - No. 8
Factory HB3 Light Bulbs Holder - No. 10
Headlight Burner Cover - No. 12
Headlight Burner Seal - No. 14

Also thinking of getting those FL projectors as well from the marketplace listed by Philip Lee here. Can I reuse my ballast and bulbs? or do I need to replace the whole thing?

Thanks

No you can't reuse anything from your prefacelift. Different housing, different bulbs, and different wiring. Johno has done this before and wiring needs to be reconfiged.

If you're getting from Phillip, you must get the whole kit. It is completely useless to just buy the housing.

Another warning, do not buy projectors from hondaoriginalparts.com because their housing is only for UKDM which does not use HID. If you buy them you have to buy an aftermarket h1 hid kit to work with it. I have a friend who gone through this step.

So in conclusion you got three options:
1.) Buy the full headlight unit including ballast and bulbs from Phillip
2.) Buy brand new OEM projectors for UKDM spec and install aftermarket H1 HID kit
3.) Buy projector replicas from US and install aftermarket HID kit.

A fellow ep3 owner has asked me about the hid bulb for prefacelift and thought this might help some other ep3 owners.

H4's are halogens bulbs which are used by the UKDM spec.

The correct size is D2R for prefacelift and do not come cheap.

Please see the follwing diagram below:

Nice Peter thanks for the help and I can't believe how expensive they are.

I think there are some D2R bulbs on ebay for around $70 a globe.

But I'll try to find out if there's any where else.

Hey Peter you've exceeded your limit on PM messages so I couldn't reply.
thanks again mate and I think eBay is the way to go. Bluey45 ( Kevin ) has a spare OEM set which he's giving to me and I'll most def buy a spare set later on.
