5th gen. Aftermarket headlights(finally)
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

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

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.

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 =]

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....

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?

sweet. I live in middletwon but work in Passaic. I will be buying a set of these soon if they are as good as you are all saying. my lights are yellowed, crazed and the loser who had the car before me broke about every bracket point off of them. I have them ziptied now and they don't bounce at all but talk about ghetto.
