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!
