Getting the reflector out - Honda Prelude Forum

BZRKbb2 · 03-17-2006, 10:24 AM

I've searched over here and on H-T but haven't found a good answer... does anybody know a good way to dismount the reflectors from the JDM one pieces? I'm trying to exchange the reflectors with the EDM lights so the light pattern will be good for LHD.

So anybody?

wouldn't the EDM lights still point to the left because they're RHD?

With EDM I mean European Domestic Market

not UKDM
EDM cars are LHD.

You have to open the head light up. If you read any of the posts on doing hid retro fits you need to head up the head light enough to soften the glue. Then you can serperate the housing unscrew the refector and put the other in. My question is are the EDM just like the jdm 1 pieces? If so you're doing a lot of work. You'll need to serperate 4 head lights and put them back together. They might not even fit the same.

I've got the JDM pieces allready open... But to get to the screws of the reflector I think I need a flexible screwdriver.

I want to exchange the reflectors so I don't need to swap the headlights every year for the annual legal check-up. I know that you can swap the headlights within the hour, but the two weeks I'm driving now with my normal headlights made me realise that it drives more pleasant in the dark with a good light pattern. But I like the looks of the one pieces, so I'm trying to get the best of both

Well when I took out my reflector bowl to retro fit hid projectors you need to remove bolts I think I can't remember for sure. I think you need to take out all the adjustment screws just keep turning them til they come off.

The reflectors are out now
