For those of you looking to purchase a HID Kit... - Honda Prelude Forum

Here's a little something I found that'll make it a lot simpler to install a HID kit on your vehicle. If you use these you don't have to dremel out the stock bulb holder. I wish I found these when I was installing my kit....

That would be the best way to go...Won't blind on coming traffic, and your lighting will be spread out evenly

I don't think that the part number really exists. I tried to search it on slhondaparts.com as well.

Just a word of advice. Bought these. They are ok but not the best. My advice would be NOT to buy them from ebay.

if you use the SEARCH function, you'll find threads on why just a PnP kit suck and that a lot of people will have a retrofit done instead

00_l0ode · 12-11-2009, 03:17 PM

not everyone is a big fan of retrofit. Personally, im not. Just my opinion though

Allude2Prelude9 · 12-11-2009, 03:24 PM

Please don't buy a kit. Prelude headlights give off SO much glare with a PnP kit.
halogen vs PnP kit

HID + no retrofit is pretty dangerous. You will blind oncoming traffic, piss everyone off in front of you, and generally look like a total douche.

Do you know why?

1. It's more expensive
2. Takes a little more work which means actual knowledge or some basic knowledge / research
3. Takes more time, people these days want instant gratification

Regardless of whether or not you like the look, you're still causing problems for oncoming traffic w/o the retrofits.

Yea, I was on the highway on sat night driving with some of my buddies and there was this lancer with either the 30000k or the next lower hid kit on the on ramp on the other side. We were probably 300 yards apart and it was hard to look straight without squinting. They were ridiculous, kinda made me mad because more and more people are starting to do it and it's getting anoying.
