Um, there's not a "TON" but there's many out there...
Contact prelude1897 I'm sure he has plenty of pictures and he also does the retro fits if you're looking to pay someone..

Those TSX retros look sweet

Say does any 92-96 Lude owner have any experiences with those Depo ebay projector healights? I'm not interested in the headlights in general, but more so the actual projector part (i.e. cut-off sharpness etc). Any pics would help.

For some reason I had this ideas for the longest time...basically using those projectors (if they're actually good) and retro-fitting them onto my jdm 1 pieces.



Has this been done? Can this be done?

I wouldn't waste my money buying those cheap halogen projectors, expecially for retrofitting into JDM 1 pcs. You're better off spending your time and money retrofitting some HID projectors Just click the link in my sig. to my myspace page, and it'll take you to some pics of my past work. There are some pics of 4th Gen. Preludes with retrofits I've done

They're everywhere!!! Look in the sponsor marketplace section on here you'll find them there. Also ebay sells them. Stay away from the cheap hid kits...you'll most likely end up with a burnt bulb or a non working ballast.

Tell your friend he shouldn't get a cheap PnP kit for his car. They cause too much glare, alot of hot spots, and the lighting just straight sucks. If he's wanting a good light output that evened out, he should have a retrofit done. If you click the link in my sig. it'll take you to my myspace page that has alot of pics of my past work
