Should I buy these - Honda Prelude Forum

Si4WS · 03-30-2002, 07:33 PM

New ones are like $600-700 so if I can get these for less then $450 then it would be a good deal? Straight from Japan. Just want to make sure this is the best deal for me.

Look on Ebay...I think they usually close at 350-400...Worth a look! Be sure they are black housed..

I would buy them, but look around first to check other prices......

I think that is the biggest mistake I made ........if I would have looked around I could have saved myself atleast 300

So how much should I pay for used lights in good condition shipped apx.?

If the seller on ebay is bimmer_323i, go for it, Courtney is a trustworthy ebayer and he'll hook you up for around 320 or so.. that's what i payed for mine and they are in mint condition!!! If you can't find a price below 375, don't go for it. Trust me, there are people on ebay that sell 'em for 350 shipped. Look for seller bimmer_323i. he's directly in Japan and takes 7-10 days shipped to your door via EMS.

hahah.. what luck.. those pics you got off bimmer's auction.. go for it unless he says there are scratches/cracks. He sent me a pair : the driver side was chipped and the passenger side was MINT.. and he said he didn't know about hte chip. and within 2 weeks, he sent me a replacement for free.

Thank you for the great input. These are going to look so tight with my carbon fiber hood! Now I just need to decide if I want a full kit or just RS lip. To be honest I am more into the "go" aspect of my lude but since it got backed into I might as well get tighter stuff then stock.

AlexLude · 03-30-2002, 11:14 PM

If you go just the RS lip, i think it would look odd cuz it looks so drastic.... if you could i would go JDM all the way baby... Just drop it and slap on the SPOON lip. very clean/nice and a bit more original than the RS kit.

I have it on Ground Control right now. I don't have it all the way down, but close, I don't know why it looks so high in the pic, but it looks lower in real life. I would take more pix but it is knida fuct from the hit and run. So my car doesn't look lowered?

AlexLude · 03-30-2002, 11:22 PM

naww didn't mean to say it wasn't dropped.. but i'm guessing maybe 1.4" drop.. not as much as the sportline's but more like the Eibach prokit that's settled

... naww your ride is cooh man!

..personally $450 for headllights is nuts, I'd get them after I have done everything else, like c/f hood or kit or other things $450 is a lot of money you can spend on for other things besides headlights, JDM black housings are like the final touch in my opinion...

I have a set and love them.

At first I couldn't justify spending close to $400 us on headlights when mine worked perfectly...but then I had a little fender bender and it shattered my passenger side headlight..so I had an excuse to get them
