There is non for 5th gen lude, you gotta get it customed made or retrofit with HID & angel eyes yourself.
very very rare things they are
there are a few ppl with custom made projector HID taken out of audi TT and fit it into the 5th gen housing
www.preludeaustralia.com has a few posts on them

If you wish to do a set of Angel eyes, I have 2 sets of BMW eye rings for sale if your interested. RRP: $450US for the 2.
If you want a set, let us know :)
Hey,
Take it from a person whos done this.. It's a lot of effort and it will cost a bit..

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

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.
*cough I have the angel eyes if someone wants them cough* E39 and E46 hrrmmmm :p
how much 4 hedlihjtzQuote:

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?
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.Quote:

but not 100% yet..
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?
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.

99mod
and get urself a lebo haircut :D
so i assume the projectors take D2S bulbs?
what about the low beam harness? did u have to do any modifications?
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.Quote:
