Front Lights - Honda Prelude Forum

Sustenance · 02-01-2010, 02:29 PM

Hey Guys,

This is my first post here. So I just got my first money pit--a 98 'Lude in black. It has lowered supension a body kit etc. However the stupid guy who I bought the car from bought a body kit that has front bumper with no holes for the left and right turn signal and he took off and lost the the fog lights. Ugh. Not only that but the genius was driving without a license and he got his car towed and the tow guys butchered up the front bumper, cracking the fiberglass. The passenger side of the bumper is now being held on with a bungee cord lol... /venting

But anyways I knew what I was getting into. I was just wondering if any of you could point me towards where I could get the OEM or something like it for the front fog light assembly and the left and right turn signals the sit on the ends of the bumper for cheap. I have been screwed over buying car parts online before so I want to make sure the dealer is trustworthy too. And no, I'm staying as far away as possible from the junkyard fellas.

Thanks a lot
Todd

You can find OEM (or close to it) turn signals on Ebay. Just look at the sellers rating and if it's good you should be alright. If your tight for money, I would suggest the replica JDM fogs. They've been gaining popularity.

One thing I must ask, it's not automatic is it?

Thanks .I appreciate it guys. And Sorry for the late reply.

And Yeah it as an automatic

Just a quick question, does the orange section of these fog lights work as the blinker, as I need one for inspection:

JDM Prelude BB6 Type S Fog Light Kit 97-01 Honda Access

there are 4 lights on the front of that car. the clear bottom ones are the fogs, the ones with the ornage piece are the blinkers. but buying that is not going to get you blinkers. you can get blinkers on ebay cheap

That's a good company to get parts from. I got my fogs from them and didn't have any problems.

I don't want rain on your parade, but have you done any research about the automatic transmission on the 5th gen? They have an extremely high failure rate. If I were you I would get the car as close to stock as you can and sell it for a 5 speed.
