Notice the 4 bolt pattern? All USDM 5th gen Preludes are 5 bolt.




Brochures from UK, France, Germany, Scandinavian countries etc. all slightly vary in specs.


5th gen courtesy/door lights. The Differences.


Very rare - EDM red version court. lights.


Very common - USDM, EDM, JDM clear court. lights. Can be seen on SH ludes in USA.
In Europe these were even more common.


Most common - without lights. This is what most people have.

JDM Honda Access Air Refiner w/dual dome light












Here is a similar unit installed overhead as oppose to 4th gen which is installed between the rear speakers.



Also note that this is not 5th gen specific, but at the time was available as a Honda Accessory for a wide range of Honda vehicles. Controlled by in built switches and doesn't require a need for a console air refiner switch that was featured in 4th gens.

 

OEM Floor mats. Let me know if you guys seen these in the USA. I am trying to figure out what market these are from. The picture of the Prelude is in Russia. The kid got these from a dealership.






OEM Interior. This Prelude is from Russia. Let me know if anyone has seen this interior in the USA. Trying to sort out a few things.

I thought only 4th gens had this option in Japan. Apparently 5th gens also had the JDM corner sensor system. Here is the pic of the switch, I will try to get the rest of the setup later.
