yeah only if you ghetto-rig it or make it "non-oem" or like the 2006 Si's with the switch not on the turn signal stalk.

Joey doesnt believe in that no matter how clean of an install you can promise. period. end of story.

the way our Multiplex works with the turn signal ring, it CANNOT be done ive been told by NUMEROUS Honda technicians @ my job.

Yah if its hid headlights , its a charm. Plug and play all the way. I got the kit off of supervtec on ebay , aka hid-direct store. Says he is mccollough kits , but I recevied a xentec kit...not sure if its the same. But it took me only a little and that was just figuring out the directions as they werent so great.

But seriously I could have the hid headlights done in an hour....ive got about 5 guys up at work with the super vtec kits on and we all love it...cheap too.

Random question, does anyone know how to clear headlights on older cars that have fogged up yellow headlights? Ive seen kits online for like 15 bucks, and also have heard of places that do it but for like 60$.... I'm seeing what I can do about my friends 03 g35 sedan. If anyone knows how or knows a good place or kit, lemme know!

For mine I just went through the wheel well , there is also a perfect spot to mount the ballast , just might have to replace a few of those plastic pop screws. Its really very easy to do , just jack up the car remove wheel and then start removing the plastic pop screws and bend back the wheel well cover (the plastic floppy stuff that keeps the water from hitting the metal portions of your car around the wheel, pop out old bulb , plug harness into oem harness , pop in new bulb , double side sticky tape that comes with the kit on the ballast , then zip tie it down test if it works and and your done, repeat for other side.

^^^^ Hmm.. never seen that one before. There's an FBP FG2 with black rims that belongs to an instructor at my school, but I've never seen this FA that you speak of.

two RR sightings today & one "Anthony" spot:

*RR FG2 @ 3:45pm on Virginia Ave. backroads near 1792 & Leu Gardens area. HFP muffler & looked to be lowered. guessing it lives somewhere nearby as it was turning onto a residential street after i spotted it. i was in a White Diamond '08 Accord 4DR EX-L V6 headed back from Classic Honda w/ a used TSX NAVI behind me w/ the salesguy & customer driving.

*RR FA5 spotted not 2 minutes afterwards further down Virginia Ave in the curvy section of the street RIGHT OUTSIDE Leu Gardens. looked to be pretty stock, had a red Transformers logo sticker on the driver side lower part of the windshield that i saw & a red sticker of some kind on the back window too. looked like it was JUST washed. beautiful!!

Anthony's FBP FA5 spotted leaving Holler as i was returning to work in the Accord. hear the beautiful GReddy Evo2 cruising down 436 as he was leaving. its breaking in nicely Anthony!! props!
