New EP owner from MD

[Aklass]

Hi EPHatch,
I acquired a EP from an insurance auto auction that was in a accident and headed for the body shop. I have some questions though I hope you guys don't mind answering!
What kind of headlights are in the 04-05 model? I have to get a replacement and they cost 150 ea? Are they projector, HID, Halogen?
I'm also a big fan of retrofitting Morimoto minis, so if they use a halogen reflector, what is the bulb socket in the 04 model?
Thanks EPhatch! I hope to enjoy my stay here!

welcome to ephatch! glad to see another MD member on the boards. you would be better off buying a set of headlights on our classifieds forum and save yourself alot of money and bother. they are halogen lights, or you can upgrade to HID's or retrofit projectors. they always have someone FS here. as for the bulb socket size, if you replace the entire headlight then it depends on which headlight you get and whats set up for that application... if you get oem replacements, the bulb size is in the owners manual or call honda. i have an 02 so i have no clue. :mangel:

If you're looking for a replacement.. You should look into swapping in some JDM/UKDM/EDM 04/05 projectors... the JDM/UKDM ones will require some work because they have RHD cut off's.

If you're on a budget, you can always go with the replica CTR headlight's made by DEPO:

Thanks for the help guys! What else would you recommend I do to the car handling wise? Boosting HP is out of the question due to the cost of gas these days, and ceramic pads are something I always do on each car I have.

Also can anyone explain to me how to have the newest post on the last page and not the first? uit is confusing going from the bottom up

Thanks, the EP3 will be used for daily driving and to have some fun while driving hence why I mostly do handling upgrades and not boosting HP
