Not sure. I just know they Halo Projectors. Everything on the car was put on by previous owners.

Should swap the lighting for OEM, better looking and more reliable.

I never liked HID's, just felt like money was better spent elsewhere plus I just leave my fogs on all the time which give good visibility.

they are more of a modern thing to do. I mean if you look at most newer cars they are pretty much all HID. I think it gives the Prelude a newer gen look thats all.

I am not really fond of my stock OEM light output. It looks yellowish and very retro. I don't have the ability to install HiD myself, but I give props to people that could.

Thank you for the welcome. This is the only Interior shot I have. Everything is stock except for the speakers and Pioneer head unit, which were installed by previous owner. Got enough boom to them

Yeah HID's make the car look newer. Personally, I love them. They look better than OEM and give way more visibility and last longer than just using Xenon bulbs.

here are some more shots of the car from my phone camera.

Those front LED's were put on by previous owner. I haven't done anything to this car lol. I'm going to take them off once I get my fogs and HID set up.

I would have to say thats a smart decision. Fogs would look great!

Nothing wrong with stock interior mate, quite honestly imo clean interior like stock is the way to go. You can always add OEM Honda optional interior upgrades to spice things up a bit without making stuff look tacky as hell.

yeah i love the interior. im keeping it like this for awhile. just going to change the shift boot and knob, add those PRELUDE side steps on the doors, double din head unit, look for another Honda steering wheel like a RSX or S2K type. i thought about adding leather seats but i dk quite yet.
