you should look for the ones that come with a halo. These were the first type of projectors that came out for our cars.

I remember wanting it because it would make the front end look like previous generation integras. My plan was to take them apart and paint only the patches inside the borders and leave the borders chrome. I thought it would look great.

I'm pretty sure they're stuck together with sticky stuff like on Halo projectors and even the OEM. A good ten minutes in the ovenshould heat them up well enough.

I am pretty sure you should be able to, the whole thing might not come apart though so you might have to do more work and mask off all of the chrome so you don't paint it, bu at least you would know they wouldn't leak cause you sealed them yourself....
