Anyone know if they make the JDM headlights for our si's yet? I love the fact that they have black housing, looks better like they do for the JDM RSX.

Not available as of yet, sure they should be once the car is more common. Note the Type R ones in the UK have the black housing.

Thats absolutely rediculous!!! I have a feeling that both aftermarket and JDM parts are gonna be really expensive for our car. For example I recently ordered a Comptech catback for my new Si, and it was just around $700.00 with shipping. Its freaking Highway robberry!!!!

It may not be that bad of a price, but at the same time your spending $1,020.00 that you could be spending on ur engine mods instead of JDM headlights, not to say that the JDM headlights aren't awesome (they are) BUT STILL..its robbery!!

How about doing a homemade job? Its alot cheaper, I've been thinking about this for 2 weeks now, wanting to paint my housings. I know the right paint I want, and how i want to mask it, its just having the balls to do it.

Does anyone know the cooking time for the headlights? I'm talking about the oven temperature and time for heating the outer silicone seal.

you mean taking them apart and painting the inner housing, like the 6th gen guys do? let me know how it works. i was thinking about that as well, but i know i dont have the balls to tear open my headlights on my baby without knowing if it will work or not

That's a lot of money for headlights, I would stick with the stock ones and spend the money on other mods (imo).

The temp varies. I did it on an '02 EX. I did each headlight separately at 300 degrees for 2 minutes. Some will say 3 minutes or more at like 170. It really depends. But either way, I had my oven up to 300 and they sat in their for 2 minutes without melting or warping. Also, make sure you seal them the same way, after you clear them or paint them or whatever, toss em back in the oven for a minute or two to let the seal do its job again, then after its cooled down, seal around that seal with some automotive sealant(like for a windshield). I didnt do this out of laziness and now my one headlight fogs up in the rain so i have to take it back out and reseal it. :eek:

the black housing headlights are definitely an improvement to the front end ... and it needs the help! I'd try and get the CTR lip and side skirts though.

I did mine with a heat gun. I think it's better than an over because you can control where the heat goes...

Instead of heating everything, you heat just where the adhesive is.

the only reason why its so high is because they're probably the real civic type r headlights imported from japan...... i would expect that they are 600 bucks w/o shipping it over here from japan (then the company gotta make some money from importing it).....



i'm pretty sure someone's gonna make the imitations eventually
