This Wasn't Cheap! Installing NEW Acura RSX Type S OEM Headlights!

Buy once, Cry once! In today's video, the Acura RSX Type S build gets a NEW set of OEM headlights. After being disappointed in cheap aftermarket headlights, that route was NOT the answer for this OEM+ DC5 build. So let's install these MINTY lights and some JDM goodies to make this car look NEW again! Enjoy!
As usual, this RSX Type S project car continues to cost more and more. While I enjoy doing budget Honda builds and saving money, these RSX headlights were beyond headlight restoration. After ordering a set of Eagle Eyes Headlights, I was disappointed in the build quality and knew I had to go OEM to be happy. My normal Honda Junkyard runs weren't successful in finding any, so I dug deep and ordered a brand new set from Acura. Overkill for an almost 200k mile RSX? Probably, but this transformed this car to look new again!
Installing Honda headlights is generally pretty easy. For the RSX, the front bumper needs to be removed to have access to all the bolts. While I wanted to upgrade the headlights to HID or LED, I just didn't have time in today's video. New bulbs were installed along with some JDM Nokya Yellow High Beams! As the cherry on top, I install the new DC5 Type R Honda "H" emblem on the front bumper. Overall, an expensive video with a NEWish result. Happy with how clean this build is coming!
Here's some of the parts in today's video!
I ordered the headlights here: www.mikehaleac...
Nokya JDM Yellow High Beams: amzn.to/3JjAoLU
Silverstar H1 Low Beams: amzn.to/3Y3Wxlt
168 Parking Bulbs: amzn.to/3HeITVT
194 Side Marker Bulbs: amzn.to/3DsipPx
Turn Signal Bulbs: amzn.to/3DpdChJ

Earlier today, I was browsing marketplace, as one does, and found an rsx, at which point I thought to myself, “huh all day Anthony didn’t post last week, I wonder when he’ll post.” funny how that worked

@ALLDAYANTHONY Год назад

It must have been a sign! Thanks for coming to watch man

@CesarsCarCorner Год назад

It's minor details that make and break the car! It looks clean, and I can't wait to see what is next.

@ALLDAYANTHONY Год назад

Thanks fam. Plenty more stuff to come!

@MrShibAlaska Год назад

Your videos are so helpful. I bought a 04 rsx-s last year in Alaska. 120k miles, all oem, not a great deep snow car.. I'm glad to hear that they all grind at startup under 32 degrees..

@vicepixel 6 месяцев назад

Yep, cold start always does

@ohdavey3748 Год назад

Love this series! I’ve done most of these upgrades and replacements for my 05 Type S over the 1.5 decades with it. Keep it coming!

@Chiefhao 7 месяцев назад

love the Video! I just recently had to buy OEM headlights for my GE8 FiT so I know your pain lol

@kristofferdeocampo3641 Год назад

Love the content. Is the 02-04 emblem for sale?

@angelicemperor2686 Год назад

When I put my halos on my 03, it has a bit of a gap on top. You see more of the headlight instead of it being flush with the hood. Other than that the halos look great. But it has been 10 years. I have restored them about 5 times. I'm planning o getting a new set after I get the car painted. Yours look great too. Keep up the vids.

@epiccheatmealday1180 Год назад

Love this build. Makes me want a JDM honda. Your videos are so helpful.

@m.pixelated Год назад

Loving the content as always. I see the love for this car in your videos and you know that love is deep when you spend OEM prices for the parts. You just know it is worth it.

@ALLDAYANTHONY Год назад

Agreed! Hoping it’ll all be worth it in the end!

@S4Tony3.0T Год назад

Recently upgraded from my 7th Gen civic to a first gen Acura TSX love the videos!

@ALLDAYANTHONY Год назад

Awesome man! The tsx is sweet

@EverythingUndone Год назад

Every time I watch finish your RSX videos, I always go to my garage and look at mine. :) The RSX aged like wine. Its nice to see others going the extra mile and replacing parts the right way. Unfortunately, the leather seats are one thing that cracks quick. I was fortune enough to pick some 05-06 cloth seats back in 2018 and they are incredible!! The Honda badges are really growing one me. By any chance is the front emblem for sale? I've scoured the internet can't find any fronts for the 02-04. Love the context, looking forward for what to come!

Brand New O.E headlights are so underrated...ive stick to original bulbs to prevent future damage on clear lens. Ultra bright lamp and coolness was never a factor.

@ALLDAYANTHONY Год назад

Very underrated. Makes the car look new again!

@Buckyvw Год назад

Fantastic upgrade. The Avalon dust covers are the real mvp.

@forcedinduction_drive1975 Год назад

What do you mean? This install went flawlessly.. There definitely wasn’t a trip to the jalopy jungle off camera😂

@HondaStreetGarage Год назад

If you wanna save the headlights use LED’s. The incandescent bulbs create lots of heat resulting in the plastic cracking over time. Looks amazing!

I dont know if itll make you feel better but i just spent almost 1k(included shipping cost) for civic type r headlights for my em1. No regrets lol

As an Rsx Owner myself. I Love these videos, i definitely want to buy a set of OEM Headlights for my Rsx! Trying to Source an OEM Aspec front lip is extremely hard too!

@ALLDAYANTHONY Год назад

The lip is on my long list. If it happens, great! If not, I’m ok with that as well

@asonii-7460 Год назад

it’s been a couple days but i found it you need something oem, grab the part number and bring it to the dealer (the majority of the parts for an rsx can be obtained through a honda dealer) and it’s usually cheaper than buying them through OEM websites

@edsonso86 Год назад

Fog lights would look amazing on it! Love your builds!

@richardbond2793 Год назад

I feel you on the headlights Anthony. I spent close to 500 on my brand new oem headlights. Worth every penny 👌

Always worth spending the money once on the right part. Headlights are so important and those oem are worth it.

@carbonzoidproductions4266 Год назад

headlights really do justice to a car so thats why im very picky with my jdm type r headlights, your rsx and videos really show the details you put into it

@ALLDAYANTHONY Год назад

Thanks man. Hoping to document the process right!

@markhadden353 Год назад

@ALLDAYANTHONY I’d try and go with LED light bulbs. I mean nothing against HID’s it’s just so much easier to run LED’s imo because of being plug-in-play over having to run a Ballast for the HID’s unless you’re car came factory with HID’s, their pretty bright but not as bright as some 8k, 10k, or even 12k. But it’s your car. I just love your in depth attention to detail in all your videos. I started following since you got your Red civic and I’m a big Honda fan, had a few in my time. A 89 CRX SiR from Japan, and a 92 EG sedan with a B20 swap/B16A trans. But own a 2nd gen BL1 Mazda 3 sedan that I’m trying to make my own, I know it’s different then a Honda and not a Speed3 but I like it. Keep up with the great content

I couldn't agree more Anthony.. I am disgusted every time I open up the garage door and I see those nasty hazed over headlights on my car. The new ones are still in the box and they need to get some protection film before go on the car. Your new OEM lights look freaking clean now!

Instead of the 3rd party brand, you can buff out and recondition your existing headlights for sure.

Did you watch the video? Lol

@jesseruiz5680 Год назад

@@ALLDAYANTHONY yes. That is why I’m saying that. Just in general, I agree with you in that I prefer to restore first instead for sure. Especially over the Eagle Eyes. lol.

if i have a 02 type s would 06 headlights work?

@B95_P Год назад

Buy once, cry once is right. For anyone on the fence about spending that money on these "older" cars..the price only goes up over time and the longer you wait, the more likely you'll be to get that dreaded email back "this product has been discontinued by the manufacturer".
