Default 5th gen Prelude HIDs

I was thinking about getting HIDs for my 5th gen prelude and I needed some advice. First of all, I've never even seen a 5th gen Prelude with HIDs, so I don't even know if they exist, so forgive me for the questions if thats the case. If they do make them though, which HIDs are the best bang for the buck? Also, can someone please tell me where would be a good place to find them online? Thanks for your help in advance, I appreciate it.

The prelude bulbs are H1 and they make an HID kit for them for about $450, all of u have to do is look for a kit that it fits it

the only proper way to harness HID light in 5gen ludes is by retrofitting HID projectors, like the pics preludechick posted. getting an hid "kit" will only glare and be a hazard to oncoming drivers. but if you dont care, groupbuycenter.com has some nice kits on group buy. =)

You can buy the after market H1 HID kit and then put a Eye brown on the top of the headlight to cut down the glare...

HID kits in the 5th gen foglights look pretty sweet. Wouldn't really recommend it though.

just is....different. (party trick kinda thing)
