Finally, found a good deal on a set of black housing JDM One-Piece headlights shown here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT

Dude, just listed the auction like 3 hours ago, and I found it. Other sets usually go for $280+. So, I hopped on this deal.

Also, got an uberdata P28 coming and another tuning session as soon as that comes in. Tax is good to me...haha

seems like u need to get some H1 and H3 bulbs..
Doesn't say they come wit the bulb harnesses, hope it does, or you'll have to get some or go ghetto and make ur own..

Tax was cheap for me

DOHCVTEC190 · 04-05-2005, 09:53 PM

Yeah, I hope it comes with harnesses. I just emailed him. If it don't come with harnesses, I can get some form suvlights.com. Ordered bulbs too. Koito White Beams (koito makes some stock bulbs).

fun times my friend.

TruNinja619 · 04-06-2005, 12:01 AM

it'll be nice if you got the harness.... but yea..

are you sure the person is going to let you buy those one pieces off from you since the reserve hasn't been met?

DOHCVTEC190 · 04-06-2005, 12:22 AM

Not sure what you mean. I did the buy it now option...and it says "Reserve Met" anyhow...

Oh I see then..

selude · 04-07-2005, 08:14 PM

yeah congrats dude -- I went to advanced auto and bought some h2/ h3 wire harnesses... they were only like 10 bucks each ...

DOHCVTEC190 · 04-07-2005, 08:37 PM

I got me the suvlights.com harness that converts 9006/9005 to H4. It connects directly to the battery through relays and supposed to make the headlights even brighter. So, we'll see how that goes. Also, bought supplied to restore the headlights before they go on. There's a few scuffs/scratches that need to be taken care of from the pix.

selude · 04-07-2005, 09:40 PM

the 9000 series blubs are not as good as the h4s or h3s I would rather run them if I was you -- they are the closest thing you will find to HIDs without the cost....

yea, that is the better way to do it and it will prob be brighter too. unless you buy my hid kit, then youll have 3 times the light with only 35 watts

xenon baby

Got the lights today. Man, he shipped them extremely fast. They came in 'decent' shape. There were quite a few scratches and scuffs but I was prepared for that. I used the Prelude FAQ JDM Headlight Restoration how-to and they came out looking great. Only 2 scratches I didn't get rid off. Probably could have if I sanded more, but my arms were dead tired.

No before pic, I got right to work on them when I saw the boxes at home.

After restoration:

Now, just awaiting my X-pel headlight protection, my bulb harness, and my Koito bulbs and then they are going in.

MidNiteMysT · 04-08-2005, 10:36 PM

whats x-pel? i didnt sand down my headlights because im afraid of remove the protection that comes on oem headlights that cant be put back on.

DOHCVTEC190 · 04-08-2005, 11:25 PM

http://xpel.com/

It's like precut 3M stonegard for your headlights. Protects them.

MidNiteMysT · 04-08-2005, 11:40 PM

wow, that stuff looks thick. let me know how you like it.
