Didn't know any existed besides the products listed on eBay.
Not for 5thGen's anyways.. Not unless they're custom.. And you'll have to pull the lenses off and do that yourself...

no, i know they're out there cuz i have ONE for a driver side. its not the whole inside of the headlight thats black, just a trim part(inside). its hard to describe without a pic. i'm gonna keep searching.

The ones on eBay are actually good. Depo is a resectable lighting company. Plus if I'm, not mistaking, they're DOT approved for people in Cali. I wouldn't buy any projectors other than a retrofit, but their stock replacements are very nice, including the ones with black trim.

You could always just take apart your headlights and paint the trim piece black, but if you're just wanting a new pair of lights, I have a pair of DEPO lights that I'll sell for only $270+shipping. They're brand new, never been used. I was suppose to do a retrofit with them, but my customer had to back out, leaving me with an extra pair of lights

hey man i got a question for you since you do the retrofits so flawlessly, I'm going to start my project this weekend, but the projectors I bought are for h7 and the prelude is h1, so do i need to rewire or is there some type of harness?
