Flip up delete

[YK86]

This is a 3rd gen Lude with custom headlights. I think this looks really good but it's too bad there are no pics with the hood down and lights off. But it's something I would like to try. As much as the flip ups make the 3rd gen what it is, this is the first time I've seen a conversion I've actually sort of liked.

[YK86]

Come to think of it, it probably wouldn't look as good on a 3rd gen Accord because we have sidemarkers and the grill so the pattern on the eye lids would look missing if we did it.....

Maybe you could shave the sidemarkers and modify the grill?

[bobafett]

i think that looks pretty good.... alot better than the "stock" accords without flipups...

its on par with the lude conversion, because i love the style of these lights! but i think the lude lights actually work better with the 3G! nice find, those are getting saved!

[markmdz89hatch]

I like it! Thanks Yasu. I think that looks great, and yeah like site said, maybe you could just shave the grill a little, and shave the corner markers. Kinda like what integraccord did on his car.

[SQ is the SQUAD]

with the lights on it looks kinda like a mid 90's nissan z car. there is a kid around here who had one of those preludes with the nissan z headlights and rsx taillights

I was just gonna say they look like nissan housings. It looks like a good fit and not bad. I think it looks good myself and it would be similar on an accord but i dont know if the slope of the hood is the same on our cars but they can trim it to fit. If you did do it though i would suggest shaving the grill or working on that.

THATS LOOK AWESOME!!!!!!! I WISH MY ACCORD HAD THAT CONVERSION!!!!! yea, shave the side markers and it would look good

[superaccord]

dude, thats so bad ass!!

[88Ex-i]

ya, that looks so good. I'd do that in second. I would have never thought of doing that.........

[87accordHB]

then it just wouldnt be a honda any more. I LIKE MY FLIP UP LIGHTS!!!!! give my car character.......still getting closer to an LXI user creepin along..SE-i here i come!

[whiteboy]

i found a guy im talkin to now, he says he can make those for our cars for about 400 a set, he amkes em pre made for probes now......idk tho, im sending him a headlight to haev him craft a mold/model first before i send him anymoney.

Id try soemthing liek that myself but im lakcing a welder lol

[3rd GEN]

damn...those look sweet..
almost like Supra or NSX lights

[RobT5580]

You only would need a welder for the fenders and hood. The headlight bezel itself is probably fiberglass or a type of plastic. I would think that this can be done fairly easily with the exception of the hood/fenders and i would say some cutting for the back of the old headlight bay to accomodate the wiring for the bulbs and stuff. I like the way that looks a lot nice and clean. I do like how the prelude lense fits the curve of the car too.

I saw a lude over here with square lights instead of 2 smaller round lights.

I think those Rx-7 headlights

[superaccord]

looks like they just fabricated a fiber glass housing to hold fog lights or something. its cool.

[whiteboy]

Hey
If someone will donate a headlight please i have a guy who wants to make a conversion for our cars for 375, but he needs a headlight to make a mold out of, i just need the basic frame of the light and it will be shipped right to him if you want, please let me know as i broke my arm and cant get to a junkyard, thanks guiys !!

some cars with flip up headlights have those kind of conversions. take the mr2 or rx7. i remember an old issue of TURBO, that showed an rx7 with that kind of conversion.

here is an mr2 with them.

my idea in the futer was similar to that, but keeping the eyelids, but loosing the sealed beams and putting projectors in there, single or even twin. Its gonna be just the lid and everything is gonna go, like the brackets and everything that is needed to hold down the weight of the sealed beams. So in reality, just the lids would go up and down, but the lights would stay stationary in side them. I dont know how to do it as of yet, but sure i will find a way out.
