Looks awesome, I've been thinking about this mod possibly for my gf's TYC's. But the factory sockets are too short to reach into the hole and through the reflector no? I always read that for this mod you should use prelude sockets.

Edit- Oh yea and this mod is usually done in the highbeams, what made you pick the low beams?

cd5_2NR · 10-16-2006, 06:12 PM

okay okay...check 1st page for DIY...i'll do a write up first then post pics when i get the chance...hope its helpful...im at work still

TheMuffinMan · 10-16-2006, 06:17 PM

lol yeah cd5 I can't imagine shaking the lights around to try to get all the plastic shreds out. I did that with my taillights when i removed the orange reflector haha

bwhhahaahaha...yup..i did that too...really frustrating...

i got so pissed...i ran the water at the sink and filled up the headlights to get all that debris out.ha ha...then it was a bitch to dry those ****ers out too...

TheMuffinMan · 10-16-2006, 09:13 PM

lol yeah! shit sucks!

The_Todd · 10-17-2006, 03:53 AM

So with putting in the sockets into the headlight there wasn't any other fab work aside from drilling the hole? I know that most sockets have notches on the end to prevent them from just falling out, if you can explain a tad more

Nice looking car Rosete

Makes sense, thanks for clarifying

.

Night shift ftw

Legendaryyaj · 10-17-2006, 09:25 AM

That shit looks good!!!

The 98+ Accords have one too but its below the lights. Maybe I can just move it up and into the reflector housings. I wont even need a switch then!

BTW, it doesnt leak does it?

uhh no...the socket has a rubber gasket..it should be enough to seal it...plus it rained for like 2 days here and no leak...

KageOokami · 10-18-2006, 11:53 PM

That's awesome, way to be different...props dude. Although I'm not too comfortible drilling into my JDM headlights, I might do it down the road when I have more balls messing with my car's body work.

lol...oh...i wasnt too comfortable drilling my shit neither...i had a long weekend...and my ass was bored as hell...

unoJDM CD5 · 10-20-2006, 12:35 AM

looks good
nice car!!

Fresh'86 · 12-18-2006, 12:35 AM

you know what dude, your a genious. I just figured out a solution for my buddy who just did an HID retro. He didn't want to sacrifice his DRL's, and city lights are perfect. Preserves the HID bulbs during the day, and make the car look stylish

Very good DIY, btw your car looks sweet. Mad slammage

JDM.Brown · 12-18-2006, 02:20 AM

The Accord is looking good. I think the city lights turned out really well, hopefully they don't leak or get condensation in them.

naw...no condensation...i didnt have to open them up..and the stock sockets i used have this rubber washer that keeps it sealed right...

oodie · 12-18-2006, 09:44 AM

Looks good love the amber lights.

AJ06 · 12-23-2006, 01:05 AM

looks ok...

remo · 12-23-2006, 10:22 PM

those look ****ing ILLLLLLL!!! nice job dude. i want to do this to my car, except clear lightbulbs. saw those type of lights on a bmw in Italy a while ago and never knew they were "city lights". very clean

only thing, lose the lighted switch, make it less noticable

BuddyC · 12-26-2006, 01:54 PM

with the JDM Headlights it would of been easier and cleaner getting the H4 city light kit.

361 accord · 01-06-2007, 12:38 PM

thats awesome i wanna do this on my 2000 accord, but with blue LED's like i have in the courtesy lights

StyLz · 01-06-2007, 05:26 PM

Not a fan whatsoever. Having stock daytime running lights looks much much better.
