Nice, that's the look I'm going for. Got any day pics?

rEkKaShInObI 02-01-2005 11:06 PM

cool!!

HondaKorn 02-01-2005 11:07 PM

the lense is yellow. I used krylon stained glass paint and im gonna get a 40ml clear sheet to laminx to protect it.

gearbox 02-01-2005 11:13 PM

Cool. Are those just amber bulbs in the signals and no parking light?

HondaKorn 02-01-2005 11:17 PM

yeah.....supposed to be yellow, but they are an exact match for my fogs

chrisleecool 02-01-2005 11:34 PM

looks good

jttegx 02-02-2005 01:03 AM

where you get that sort of paint?

i want to do the same to mines =D
do you encounter harsh weather in general? want to know how they keep up. keep us updated!

JDM yo!

HondaKorn 02-02-2005 01:53 AM

I used krylon stained glass paint from "michaels" (the craft store) I wiped the outside lense with alcohol, sprayed a few coats on to the lense....5 or 6... and used a clearcoat on them...4 coats.....they are really bright. Don't put too many coats on b/c it willl come out amber rather than yellow.

here they are.....I plan to paint the garnish around the fogs ssm to match.

gearbox 02-02-2005 05:56 PM

Wow that looks nice. Do you have the nokya yellow signal bulbs?

HondaKorn 02-02-2005 05:57 PM

they are not nokya...I googled "7443 yellow bulbs" and got them from the first place that came up. Autodynamic sell them too I think

CivicsRdBest 02-02-2005 06:00 PM

Looking good...

mr_fobster 02-02-2005 07:51 PM

HOT LAVA! damn thta looks nice! i think i might just do that instead of impulse retrofit.

ok you guys so compare, this vs. impulses retro fit.

HondaKorn 02-02-2005 07:55 PM

thanks.....i wanted to do the retrofit but I don't have the time to do it. Impulse is offering a good deal on the retrofit, but we both have the same color output.

dirtySAMURAI 02-02-2005 07:58 PM

and one of those options seems to cost $60 less than the other.

dirtySAMURAI 02-02-2005 07:58 PM

although impulse does do some good work.

gearbox 02-02-2005 08:03 PM

Ya, but I don't have that money to spend if I can get the bulbs already. And I would have to throw down another $20 for lamin-x again for the new lens.

yes money is a prob with the retrofits for me. and so i might try this.

zachgeyer 02-02-2005 08:52 PM

yummie

d17a2x3oy 02-02-2005 11:52 PM

mad props to hondakorn!! good DIY!! :tup: :tup: :tup: :tup:

HondaKorn 02-03-2005 01:31 AM

thx!

02civic_rida 02-03-2005 08:26 AM

Props mang, i've seen them in person, and they look pretty good!!! One thing about this Vs. Impulse retro fit is, one, ur stuck with yellow lenses, Some people dont want a yellow lense, and the other its just the reflection of the capsule from the other. It is all an opinion on what you like best.

kasimmmmm 02-03-2005 09:21 AM

cool and unique... reminds me of the IS300.

bluestreak 02-03-2005 09:46 AM

looks good, I painted my housings to match the body (Eternal bue pearl)
and it looks hot w/ the kit........anyways, think I'm gonna do this DIY
