Default 5th Gen. Prelude Aftermarket headlight fitment w/lots of pics

Sup everyone, I finally got a pair of those DEPO headlights so that I could retrofit them for one of my customers. As I suspected, these lights fit perfect as if Honda themselves made them. I took alot of pics for everyone to see since people didn't like how they were taken on a black car, so I took pics of them on my project car. If anyone has been thinking of buying some, I say go for it cause you won't be disapointed. These lights can be purchased from this guy THOMASLEE@CONTINENTALPARTS.COM They use the same type of headlight sealer that any other stock headlights use, but when I took them apart, the reflector bowls are a little thinner than the OEM reflector bowls, so hopefully after I retrofit these, they'll be able to suppose the projectors. I'll take more pics after I'm done retrofitting these

I'm gonna jump in here and add that DEPO also makes 4th gen OEM replacement headlights that are great quality as well. However, I do realize a lot of people just get jdm headlights for their 4th gens.

I checked the site and nothing. I don't see the headlights or even a price.

Do you have a direct link Brian? Thanks

Just figured I'd post some updates about the lights. I just finished retrofitting the first set of DEPO lights ever with TSX projectors, and everything went well just as if I were retrofitting OEM headlights. For anyone wanting to use these aftermarket headlights, I say go for it, cause they'll work perfectly fine.

I believe they sell for $340shipped through a regular company, but the guy on PO sold the lights for $300shipped

These were made for a member on PO and this particular setup would cost $800+shipping if you sent me your lights or $1100+shipping if you needed me to buy you brand new lights and have them retrofitted
