That's because that video is super old. This is the 4th gen forum. Anything is possible with money. That's what it's going to take to make dc5 headlights fit. A lot of cutting a welding.

if you know how to do body work it is not that hard to do, what you need is to get the front end conversion to the integra type r, then strip the front of the prelude down and start cutting and fitting the integra one on, you then fiberglass and bondo the seams to make them fit nicely; i mean there is much more to it than this and this probably makes it sound far to easy, however it does take some welding and sheet metal work so if you are into this line of work then it wont be hard to do, or costly as the labor is the majority of cost.

I always thought the 4th gen prelude and the jdm integra had a very similar look... and quite frankly I'm not sure why anyone would bother. It seems like a lot of time and money for not much of a new look. You could just go out and get a 4th gen.

EDIT: yeah, 5th gen.

I think the fornt end conversion are more meant for the 5th gen as the fourth gen already has JDM looking light, where as the fith gen(and i love the look of the bb6) came with a more american/euro style headlight, almost a modern day flip up look with out the pop ups.... but i in the end will eventually take my bb6 and add the type r integra front end on as i think Honda meant to do this in the factory but forgot...... i would alos be interested in taking a 4th gen and adding tail lights from the bb6 or possiblt the tsx or tl.

Maybe you should just buy like a 97 Accord.. As apposed to cutting the front end of some cars off and switching around. Sounds like a waste.
