    Lightbulb Cool Headlight Upgrade/Mod For 1st and 2nd Gen Accords

    i was looking through some site and came across this camaro with custom PIAA headlights. i thought this would be good for the 2nd gen accords because they are similar in headlight configuration as some of the 80s and early 90s camaro's. i wouldnt mind seeing something like that done to the 3gee either. like a fixed conversion using some lights like these.


    here's the site if y'all wanna see it all

    yeah, i think they were just for lights. the are PIAA's, and probley much brighter than regular ones you can find at the parts stores. i thought that was cool anyway.

    it'd be nice to find a way to eliminate the stock pop up and use the same kind of fixture / headlight in a different way to acheive a stationary light, i like the look of the H4 diamond backs , just have to bend up some plexi glass....little duct tape and some super glue.... that oughtta get 'er done.... lol

    You could with some time, fiberglass molding, precision measurements, four of those Halogen foglamps (separate lights) available at autozone for about $10 each and some re-wiring. I posted a question about the east bear kit available for the S13s when I first started on this forum, and am playing with the notion of doing so sometime in the future.

    I remember talking to the guy that makes those kits for the mitsubishi 3000 and the silvia.... He had those kits for sale on ebay awhile back.... He said he could make a kit for our cars but it would cost like $375 and someone would have to use their car as the template.... I posted this awhile back but no one was interested in doing it, as usual....

    I beleive I have posted this before, but this is what a local guy did to his older prelude, which I am sure could just as easily be done to a 3g. I think it looks quite simple yet nice, and way better than the pop ups. Maybe I will get him to do it to my car when I get him to paint it in the spring/summer. What do you think?
