If I remember correctly from what I read somewhere the bulb is H3H, which isn't available in the US. The H3 will work fine, but you've got to do something for it to have a proper contact.

Thats what I read anyway, so I can't be certain about this.

in the 5th gen its a H3C bulb, which I believe you can get at the acura dealer. Not sure about 4th gens.

Do you have a pic with it on the 5th gen? How much is it? Does it fit right in? I'm looking for some foglight that fit right into those pockets. I have PIAA1100 on my
other vehicle. Really like the quality but don't think it will look good on the Prelude. Thanks.

I don't have pics but do a search an I'm sure you'll find some. The fogs look great! Like they actually belong there.

piotrush is right, H3C are the bulbs they use.

Just go buy some Raybrigs
If you don't want to spend about $80 for the Raybrigs, the JDM fogs should come with the stock bulbs.

The Raybrigs last just as long as a stock bulb(at least 1 year) because Raybrig just upgrades the stock bulbs.

Stock JDM:

Its H3C. When I bought my fogs I had the guy order me 2 pairs of extra oem bulbs just in case I dont think you can find the stanley h3c's here in the states, but I've never checked...

wow, big difference in brightness. Especially considering the change in angles.

I'm looking for a yellow set of H3Cs for less than $60. If you guys know where I can find them let me know. Thanks fellas

Is it the same one from Honda? Or which one is better? jdmhondaparts asks for 350. I thought dealer said something around 250. Thanks.
