Just follow those, but instead of cleaning paint. Make sure you don't get any paint on the refracting bubble thingy inside the headlight.

See man it's not like we're calling you out or anything you just have to do a little searching. I found those links on the open web, and one here.

You can usually get the chrome housing lights for $125, and the black for $200, or get the knock offs for $175

becuase thet are h4's so you need to cut off your old harnesses and splice in the new ones. the corners you dont have to change, but i would put new lights in there cuz if they go out you might have to pull the light off again.

look you can answer the question or get the expletive off...i dont need all these dumb *** post. if you can answer it GREAT. but if you want to have a smart mouth and make comments that arent called for then you can keep it moving. i asked a simple question which required a simple answer. what bulbs do the jdm 1pc headlights use, since it obviously doesnt use to stock ones. do you go around harrasing everyone like this. its ******* childish is what it is...

h4 was not on the listing for the hid kit so i thought that it was a typo...so my bad on that...but you need to check yourself before you post crap in reference to my topics. i do not have time to play games. you go to every other post on the site and ppl post the same **** 20times and the person before them said the same thing so dont single me out and come at me with that bull crap. id rather you not post nothing at all for future references..thanks

dont go walking around insulting people who gave you help. He might have not have been polite, but he has reason. I generally dont trash ppl in forums, and I generally dont use hondatech because most honda people new to forums chooose hondatech and a first place to check out and learn how to post.
Asking a realllllly simple question that has been answered more times than I care to count and insulting someone for actually answering/caring is pretty rediculous. JDM lights for preludes are one of the most popular prelude topics online.

Maybe you searched and didnt find precisely what you were looking for... but more likely you just didnt take the time to find what you were looking for.
Your post topic was something you could have found by searching(but a nearly decent question nonetheless IMHO).
Your 2nd question about bulbs was something you should have searched for. not trying to be a jerk I'm just trying make you understand http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/posting.php

i, myself, am not one to bash people online either. i think its pretty stupid n cowardly. but this is the 3rd or 4th time im reading somethin that u posted stuff about demanding answers to ?s that have already been answered for u...some more than once. it really gets annoying after a while. im far from a honda god, hell i ask a dumb question here n there every now n then myself but if some1 answers it i dont keep askin the same question over n over n over demanding some1 to answer it for me.
