projector headlights - Honda Prelude Forum

scott98lude · 04-01-2009, 07:34 PM

I bought projector headlights for my 98 prelude. They are suppose to be plug n play. The wiring doesn't plug in like I thought it would. The lights are CCFL Halo Projectors. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you buy them off ebay? I suggest you return them ASAP and get Brian to do a retrofit for you

Should've bought my E55 oem retro kit complete with bulbs, balasts, ignitors, and projectors then had brian or jlude retro them for you. They're bi-xenon too, great deal.

preludedriver99 · 04-02-2009, 11:47 AM

Good enough friends to sell me your tsx retro lol?

prepreludesh · 04-02-2009, 08:33 PM

Haha, no, but they're probably the best $700 I ever spent on the car, they're worth every penny and I couldn't believe what I was missing out on in terms of light output. It's amazing what you can see with them!

preludedriver99 · 04-03-2009, 12:22 AM

I'll be buying some soon, think I'm just gonna do them myself

O.P. - If you can send them back do so. I see a car with ebay projectors every week or so and all of them have a headlight or a halo burnt out. The headlights you got are sealed so the only way to change the bulb or halo is to open the lights up, big pain in the ass.

Ive got a complete set from an E55 with phillips ballasts and the D1s bulbs or something like that but they're bi-xenon and I don't want them. I want to buy TSX's or TL's for sure but the TL's are bi-xenon too. It seriously cant be that hard to retro our lights

I've only seen 1 Prelude with a TL retrofit, and there's ALOT of cutting to be done to the reflector bowl and the housings themselves. I wish I would've saved the pics, cause damn it was looking bad on the backsides of the lights
