Good job! I like how the 01-03s looks with retrofits!
I'd like to retrofit my 04-05 head lights...
Scared that I'm going to mess it up!
Oh, and uh... CS ftw! lol

Though, I'd like to keep the OEM look as much as possible. I saw these pics the other day. I don't remember where this was posted though (maybe Honda-Tech). Looks sweet.
I really would like to try this out as a summer project!

Yeah. Thanks. I gotta just try it out. I'm thinking whether I should do this on my stock head lights or some aftermarket angel eye ones. Or, I can use the OEM replica.. like the ones from Robearracing. Though, I'd like to keep the OEM look as much as possible.

thats hot, crazyasian has retrofit stock lights too, he has custom shrouds made tho. but the ebay lights would work just fine since they are gonna get cut up anyways.
