    Try here they have the large and smaller 4 X 6 "projector" head light conversion kits. I ordered a pair of the smaller ones but I waited a week then cancelled the order so I don't have a pair to show. But call and see if they do international orders.

    haha i remeber that car..isnt that old skool swap?..i loved those eyes..i think hes referring to the eye mask or whatever that is on there..i found some projector housings really cheap a while back...but you should prob get the $50 wiring upgrade kit that i also found looking for them...it comes with relays and stuff..otherwise there no point in projector housings

    http://www.sherco-auto.com/headlampconv.htm thats the conversion housing
    ..okay now i know what i was searching...okay you want to find the hella e code housings..and the wiring upgrade..there is a kit i dont know if hella makes it or not..but it has new harnesses and relays to get what you are supposed to out of those conversion..and i hear that the e code housings are the best..the euro spec ones...not just generic ero style diamond cut conversion..i have those..they look nice..but give like no light..and i have silverstars..so mine should be bright..but if ur getting conversions you gotta upgrade the wiring otherwise you would be better off with sealed beam honestly..our poor litte alternators cant take it

    I dont think the wiring upgrade is necessary since my car is factory standard H4 headlights, non sealed units or whatever their called.

    It appears Mikes headlight in that photo are round.

    Did you look at my link...I'm pretty sure those are just "projector" H4 conversion housings...look at the page they're $59.95 from koolglo plus S&H.

    Damn site doesn't take credit cards, and I hate money orders. -- Will firstly see if I can source some locally.

    Are you sure? I ordered mine like last month through koolglo and they took my credit card. I cancelled the order after about 8 days because I was leaving, the car wasn't ready to go, and I counldn't wait. Maybe they changed their policy. But I went through the checkout menu and I had to use a credit card.

    I found another site to buy those conversions from but they wanted about $90 for one pair. I think the company that makes them is called Matrix lighting. I think Matrix is an off shoot of APC, which makes total ricer garbage IMO. Ask someone who has them first before laying out too much money for them. IMO those "projectors" look cleaner and more well constructed than those "diamond cut" ones.

    Why do you need a wiring harness if your sticking w/ about the same bulb wattage as stock? Or if your getting these and upgrading to HID can't you just use the igniter and ballast provided there?

    Australia, different regulations.

    Only Accords with sealed beams here was the 86 model. Different rules for compliance here in australia, alot stricter than the US.
