Hi everyone.. A fool in a Mitsubishi Pajero (Montero) took the liberty of reversing into the front of my beloved accord... so now I need a new drivers side headlight..
The problem I am having is that my 1997 Accord (cd4) is in Trinidad and Tobago and it looks like we have a different design of headlight than the American and Japanese models (despite the car being identical otherwise)...
From what I understand, the US and Jap models came with the clear crystal lens stanley lights whereas mine came with the "frosted" stanley's.. same fit but different lens look..
Doesnt anyone have any advice as to where I can get this frosted lens in the US?
If need be, I can post some pictures of my lens to help the cause... I CAN get it from the dealer but at the cost of around $600 which is hugely inflated considering that the US spec headlight is only about $100 on the net..
Please help if possible...
PS. Anyone have an opinion on Sylvania Silverstar Ultra lights vs Toshiba HIR's for my accord?
Thanks

Ah you have all those lines going back and forth across the lense?
I've seen a few pop up on ebay but that's about it. You are probably better off swapping both out for like some USDM or JDM blackhoused ones.
