Default Does Depo make headlights for the 5th gen Prelude?

I was looking to replace my stock headlights because look like crap right now. OEM headlights are too pricey for me. Are there any manufacturers that make headlights for the 5th gen? Thanks.

Nope. I am pretty sure that you can only get oem headlights, no one else makes them because of the funky shape.

yup the only headlights you can buy for a 5th gen are oem,its sucks but i guess it comes with owning a 5th gen.

what's wrong with them? are they cracked/broken or are they just yellow and hazed? If it's the 2nd, all you need to do is wet sand it and it'll look pretty new.

they do. i have a 4th gen and am still well aware that there are 5th gen aftermarket lights. I have seen halogens and someone on this site posted a picture of some aftermarket ones that were sooooo nice. he said they were around 400 or something. But thanks to the picture thread being deleted im not sure if they are still on this site

I am pretty sure that the type of headlights you are talking about are retrofitted headlights. They are still oem headlights but are retrofitted with projectors and HID from other cars. Like this one for example:

Actually I stand corrected. I was browsing around and found this thread on preludepower.com:


http://preludepower.com/forums...53171

There is link on that site of someone selling brand spanking new DEPO headlights for like ~330 bucks shipped! I am thinking of doing that since I am retrofitting...iono. Finally someone has stepped up to make some 5th gen prelude stuff!

I'll wait to see some reviews on this. I need some new ones because I really don't feel like paying for a retrofit when I got a total of 3 broken tabs on my pair of headlights.
