Different headlight conversion... - Honda Prelude Forum

Over in off-topic, bolivianfuego found what he thought to be a four door Prelude...it turned out to be a Ascot Innova.

What do you 4th gen people think of the headlights? A direct swap? I like them because they have the black-housing, the amber corner and ion yellow center lights...Kind of like teh JDM Integras...

I don't like them

the corners are probably too big to fit
wont be that much work, but you could probably get somebody to make a plastic mold to make some fake jdms for less $

They do look similar to the JDM black housing assemblies but there is something that I don't like about them.

I still like the black housings better, just my 2 cents.

I would have to see how they lit up. Im am not a fan of the JDMs and their civic light bulbs. I want a low beam AND a high beam, not some stupid hybrid.
If they worked like the USDM housings, I would definatly consider it it they were somewhat of a direct fit, but I suspect they're not.

how can you not like the JDM Black Housing headlights, they are just badass....and as for needing a high beam??..if you hook up your H1 bulbs with a relay and foglight swicth...and then turn those on at night...good lord they are 10 times brighter than my old high beams ever were...peace

That's just a Civic, over here in the UK. I quite often glance at one coming towards me and think, "Ooh, Prelude!" Then I take a closer look and see, "No, it's just another Civic." Yes, the headlights are very similar; but, somehow, they're just not so nice as the Prelude's. They're not so aggressive, I think.
