search. already been covered. try preludepower if you can't find it. it's been covered a million times over there. imo it makes the car look like it has down syndrome but to each his own.

Yes, they let people know that your are a ricer. The light output and quality are way worse than stock.

Please don't get some brighter "HID" crap that goes in the stock housings and blinds oncoming motorists. Modern cars that have bright lights also have a true projector housing that makes sure the light stays under peoples' line of sight so that no one has a wreck due to your headlights.

Glad you asked

You can retrofit any projector light (from another car) into your current housings. It involves heating the glue and separating the headlights, custom mounting and wiring up the new lights, sealing the lights back up and adjusting the cutoff pattern. Common lights are TSX, S2000, Audi, BMW, etc etc...

User prelude1897 does a lot of these and has a great reputation

No problem....if you cruise through the Prelude picture threads there's lots of people that have this done and you can see how it turns out.
