(apologies, can't find the reply option) Are there not alternative headlights that fit the OEM? For some reason I assumed that even if the OEM was out of stock there was always some equivalent to oem knocking about. Mostly they're cloudy as hell, cracked and damaged - i have swapped the bulbs out as a just in case but realistically they need a complete swap.

Ended up with a spare pair of headlights so thought I would have a go at making some EK9-style ones (like this) Melted the glue and opened the lights (10 mins in the oven at 120c) Removed the chrome surround and the orange lenses for the indicators Scuffed up the chrome with a scotchbrite pad to key it for paint Gave it a few coats of high temp graphite paint Went to put the lights back together and found the amber bulbs I bought don't fit. Apparently this is a common issue as they're "keyed" differently to the white ones, so I filed off one of the pins which actually seems to work... Quick sand and polish and here's the finished result! I will probably give it a more agressive sand and apply some clear coat at some point but happy for now, it looks 100x better than the stock ones imo

Thanks mate, it definitely is cleaner now, I do wish something more exciting was in that bay haha, the D14 ain't cutting it.

Looks much cleaner mate

Yeah, I've always had a dream of building the perfect Aerodeck, I love the Titan Silver but someone keyed the entire side, the car needs a bit of bodywork and I've always loved Honda's pearl colours. I'll definitely keep everyone on the thread updated when the build progresses. Unfortunately student life is sipping money from me now entirely so I'm off of mods until I can afford them 😂. Also, for the never clean car, I am aware of that, I've daily driven my brother's MB1 that's white on white and it was a pain to keep clean...
