yes that's true, but generally halogen bulbs are labelled HB4, whereas HID's are often labelled as 9006. Just providing both options for those who are curious, depending on if you get the HID or non-HID headlights.

It fits, but sticks out too much...
The headlight support also needs minor mod.
If you can work out the bonnet then the rest is fairly straight forward..
Still thinkin on how we should get the bonnet to fit without cutting anything...
Will keep you posted on how we got..

any updates on this?

did they use the radiator support to put it all on? There shouldn't be a problem fitting it all on.

Which reminds me, the only problem you would encounter if you got the HID version of the front end, is you might have to rearrange a few things inside your engine bay, i think it was the ABS, as the ballasts for the HID's is behind the headlight, and takes up more space.

check the traders on the forum , some might have some, just ask in the WTB .
they are average to come by, it just it cost more than regular parts.
check some wreckers or even better wreckers that specialise in hondas etc.
good luck

u need two side fenders, front bar, bonnet, lip, lights, and radiator support. then u take it all to a smash repairs or body shop and they remove all of your old gear including radiator support and weld the JDM one on.. after that all the panels go straight on, rub down and nice matched re-spray and your set... in my opinion i say its defiantly worth it.

ive seen some for sale on ebay for around 1500 and spend about double that or a bit more onto getting the whole thing done
