None of them. I think they make the car look ugly cuz the headlights seems too small and round for the Prelude's bulky and boxy body. They look better on the cars they came from IMO.

if you do a headlight convo, do the R34 Skyline, i saw one on a Lude, and it looks sweet as hell

I would have to agree with mugenbb6. The preludes lines are to boxy for those type of headlights. I would just leave them be and spend the money on something else.

Yeah, I agree with satan_srv, they look better on the 4th gens cuz of the rounded body, and sleeker front end.

R34 conversion on the 5th gen looks sweet as hell due to the fact that it has similar body lines to the R34

Don't bastardize your lude bro... it may look 'cool' but why did you buy a lude if you are gonna do that? Just my 2cents.

If you wanna do anything just do a tail light conv. like im doing cuz i hate the way they look on the 5th gen, silvia lights are way to small on the lude, r34 light are i believe even more than type r lights, just do tail light if you have to do something.
