Yeah, thanks, I just got off the phone with honda and got the sockets as well as 4 rubber covers from the 5th gen. Hopefully the rubber covers will fit, I've looked at them on other cars and they mostly seem to be the same size.

I just got done buying jdm headlights for my prelude and I bought the harnesses from passwordjdm.com and they are well worth it. Takes 2 min to connect and ur set to go. They are really nice to have. My lights came complete sux you have to buy the bulbs and everything.

They were expensive cause i guess they're some higher end sylvania's that even on like ebay aren't much cheaper. I'm the type that's just "whatever I already have them" and they didn't have much else other than that in selection and the next nearest auto store is far from the beach where I'm at so I'll just keep these super long life bulbs. From the looks of the packaging they seem to be a brighter bulb as well. I'm gonna pick the sockets and rubber boots up from honda tomorrow and the conversion harness as well as side marker wiring from pwjdm.com should come tomorrow too.

Those look like they have seen some action, I may not have gotten any bulbs or rubber boots but the ones i got are almost like new, crystal lenses and even the back is jet black and all screws are rust free.

I think they were somewhere between $150-$170, seriously perfect condition but no bulbs. I just got the H1 sockets and rubber boots from the 5th gen, the boots fit with some stretching but the socket is gonna need some dremel modification to fit right. I also just got the conversion harness in the mail from pwjdm.com.

I have a question about the H1 bulb though, the 2 prong socket that i got surely has to be plugged into the harness the right way and I'm not sure which is the positive and which is the ground. Which color wire is the positive on the USDM harness for the high beam H1? (I'm sure it's also gonna be the same on the conversion harness)
