Look exactly like this. You have the same taste as the Honda Concept technicians. Unless this is where you got the idea.

wow! that looks pretty sweet, man. Can you give us the exact names of the colors you used, so we can do it as well? I think I'm gonna make this a weekend project.

ahhh yes, that is where i got the idea from. i liked the blackhousing idea - but i always thought it was missing something, then when i saw the turn signal in amber on a picture of that Honda Concept Car - i was like holy shiet, that would be tight to do the blackhousing and amber corner. yeah the car has a pinstripe as well.

i did the ground kit earth thingy whatever- i haven't driven the car yet, but the lights dim less when i have my radio up loud! so thats a plus. i grounded the intake manifold/ alternator/ valve cover/ stock engine mount ground - all str8 to the battery.

looks good. But if our cars came stock with that amber colour I bet everyone would be working to make them clear like they did on the older Civics. Sometimes its just about being different I think.

good work though !

naw, not me. i never liked the clear corner craze. when i had my typeR i made the mistake of puttin the clear corners. i took them off not too long after and have been loving amber ever since..... look at the S2000 headlight thats what i really copied, cuz they are flat black with amber..... people who put clear corners and diffusers on S2000 are crazy in my opinion. i think amber looks good on any color car. im not trying to be different, im trying to like the stock headlights more - cuz i sure as hell didnt really like them all completely chrome and clear.

Could you show any pics on how you did the earthing system. I am mainly curious on how you routed the wire (If I do it, I want to try and make it a real clean install) and additionally, how did you get all those wires to connect to the ground without a distribution block or something else?

Word - You too are a arteest! I think it looks so nice, and wanted to do it! Unfortunetly I've done my damn headlights twice now and a third just seems rediculous....Maybe in a few years --

I won't lie....it does look good...but there is wayyyy too much effort involved.

1. take off your bumper
2. Take out the headlight
3. But the headlight in the oven
4. Take the headlight apart
5. paint it
6. etc

More props to those who do it.....

:rolleyes:
