Chrome one pieces - Honda Prelude Forum

How come no one buys the chrome one piece headlights? Everyone wants the JDM look and these are what were on the JDM 94-96 ludes...right?

Because they look like the U.S. Headlights, why pay 300+ for something that looks similar to what you already have.

because the appearance of the black just blends in so much better. Look at the chrome vs black and you will see a tremendous difference.

I know people that bought the chrome housings and they are happy with them. Just a matter of opinion really.

leeching from 4bidden:

just a personal preferance really.

plus the general trend right now is for black housing headlights in sports cars - they come stock on cars like mustangs and specv sentras, etc.

personally it depends on the color of the car for me. I like the stock headlights on my black lude because it gives the car some contrast, however i think the black housings look better on lighter colors like white, the red, and purple

But go for what ya know!

good job andy...now can you find the chrome and black on a red 4th gen? I had the black housings on my white accord and w/ the CF hood it looked HOT! I'm just contenplating (sp?) on which to get with the lude.

My eyes must be deceiving me....did you just imply that Mustangs and SpecV Sentras were sports cars?

I was speaking to the people who drive Civics

STill = the point is the same, they're imitating the "real" cars

Crazie lude - look in the gallery. There are lots of pics there of both kinds.

I have the clear ones because the car used to be white and I think the black housings on a white car stick out way too much so I bought clear. I might switch to blacks if I get a CF hood, but for now....I'm enjoying it.

94LOOD · 10-08-2003, 08:36 PM

its just personal preference, the black makes the car look soooooooooo much better IMO and like it was stated earlier, why pay so much for the same looking typa things that are one piece....even though it IS still JDM

4bidden · 10-08-2003, 08:41 PM

I dont think they look like stock at all.
