5th gen. Aftermarket headlights(finally) - Honda Prelude Forum

Prelude1897 · 12-16-2006, 01:53 PM

got this from another board. There's a company that finally makes aftermarket headlights for our 5th Gen. Preludes. These people actually buy them from DEPO which is one of the largest aftermarket headlight companies, but here's a thread to their ebay sale http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...QQcmdZViewItem I just figured I'd spread the word around. Here's a direct link to their web page www.importvision.com

looks like an OEM replacement...

so mass produced non stock parts then? so they arent NOS?

FirFitazLude · 12-16-2006, 03:29 PM

Can you buy only one or is it the package deal only?

blazefast · 12-16-2006, 04:30 PM

Two stock headlights for the price of one ... not bad. It would be nice to be able to buy just one though :/

you can buy just one. once you click the link click on the "sellers other items". once you are on that page search in his items for "prelude" you will see he sells them individually for 158 plus shipping. sweet. someone buy one and let us know.

Yep it's a recent product. We haven't gotten our first shipment of them yet at work. When we do I'll let you know how it looks!

Thats what up. But where do you work?

AllMotorBB6 · 12-23-2006, 10:49 AM

i would be worred more about fitment than looks.

bigtimlikewhoa · 12-23-2006, 01:35 PM

I'm sure fitment isn't an issue for these headlights.. DEPO is a well respected company. They make JDM replica DC5 black housing headlights and they fit perfect on my friend's RSX. i'm thinking of buying some for myself =]

hustler904 · 12-24-2006, 06:15 PM

I've dealt with depo headlights on alot of different cars and the fitment is very very close to oem quality,plus even with oem lights you cant just drop in em and bolt em up,you still gotta adjust them around a lil bit,I wish they woulda came out with these sooner,there'd be a lot more retrofits on this board,lol

For the most part....DEPO stuff fits pretty nicely. TYC brand fits BEST. Eagle-Eye brand fits the WORST in my experience. Maybe I can have "THE OREO" test out a set on his car....

blklude98 · 12-27-2006, 12:30 PM

just wanted to add...just went to go see this light for myself.... The housings are the darker of the two types of prelude headlights available OEM....not the shiny chrome ones on the earlier 5th gen ludes. NO sockets are included...

hustler904 · 12-27-2006, 05:26 PM

even oem headlights dont come with sockets or bulbs,anytime i fix a honda or acura at the shop and its got ripped wiring or broken bulbs I gotta make sure they order it

Yea, the headlights from Honda don't even come with bulbs or bulb covers...Could you take a pic to compare the OEM and DEPO side by side?
