Thank you for this video. I am planning to buy a 2001 Prelude tomorrow and am looking for ideas to update the lights...this was a great video for that. I owned a 1990 Prelude for 12 years and hated to sell it but I felt it wasn't fair to the car to be sitting while I was driving my BMW 328i. If I were to do it again, I would have kept the Prelude and sold the BMW. I bought the Prelude new in 1990 - the first car I purchased by myself, after I got out of college. It was Laguna Gold Metallic with Brown interior, 5 speed, 2.0 Si and I had a black nose mask. It was beautiful. When I sold it in 2002, it had about 82,000 miles on it and it was in mint condition. I put it in the Auto Hunter guide. The publication with the first ad came out on Tuesday afternoon around 3:00 PM. By 6:30, I had 4 phone calls, all previous Prelude owners and all wanted to buy it, sight unseen. I gave the first caller the first chance to look at it. He was a young guy, in his late 20s, who owned the same car - he even had the nose mask - but he sold it when he and his wife moved from LA to the Acton, MA area. I had the car backed in the driveway with mask on when he and his wife came to check it out. I was outside and watched them pull up. The young guy's mouth dropped and his eyes widened and he just sat in his car for a moment as his wife got out of the passenger seat. We introduced ourselves and a minute later her husband came got out of his car. He shook my hand...his hand was trembling. He turned to his wife, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Baby, this is my car! It's my car! I mean it's exactly like the one I had!" He turned back to me, with a sort of teary-eyed look of awe and confusion and told me he's been wanting to get another Prelude. Then he turned to his wife and said, again, "Baby, this is my car!". He was like a kid at Christmas. His wife looked at me and said, "I guess we won't be haggling over the price." I knew it was going to a good home.
wow, that was an awesome story! I love the fact that it went to another owner who would really appreciate the car. Thanks for sharing! Good luck on the purchase tomorrow!
@@Rawrkee Thank you. Having it inspected tomorrow so I can get a checklist of what it may need over the next year, then doing the deal and having it shipped to me. My wife is excited for it, too, and my 18 year old son is going to get to learn to drive a stick. So looking forward to it!
Wow those taillights look awesome! Not sure if most of the patterns would be legal here in the Netherlands, but they sure do look nice! Guess i`ll add it to my bucket list of things to get for my Lude!
@@Rawrkee Yeah would suck to get a ticket just because i forgot to set them to something less legal haha. Still though, probably will be a while before i get them since im focussing on building my K24 engine to put into the Lude. Over here in the Netherlands we dont get many 2.2 VTECs, and so most of our Ludes come with a 133bhp 2.0 engine. Made sense to drop in a K24 instead of an old H22 :P
@@asbuster2191 hows the k24 build coming on? Im currently trying to get the arches n sills chopped out n replaced on my 5th gen. Then paint, so i can finally get my k24 into it.
@@kudzy11 Engine is done. Minus little things like ECU, throttle body, engine mounts etc. Im currently disassembling the transmission to check it out, replace the seals and bearings etc.
@@Rawrkee okay I’m going to buy it. Just want to make sure I don’t have to use the remote. So as long as I indicate left. Left tail light will blink ???
they're mugen style sideskirts and rear valences. The brand I bought was called Techno R and they were on ebay. I think you can still find them on wingswest.com
Great job 👍 ive been loving this tailights for so long! But i can find any in Portugal or even to import ! Men o would love to go to USA work and live just because you guys have a great car scene and comunity !!!
Man, you can order them through the Yahoo Japan Auctions or you can email the builder directly if you look for his email within the video I linked in the description
@@Rawrkee yea bro I clicked the English thing on google chrome but I don’t have a yahoo account and when I clicked create one it asked for a 10 digit phone number and that was it
29 is my fav, very clean and simple
Love the Prelude!!! They are so rare to find on the street. Loving the tail lights 😎
Can you set these to work as blinkers and/or the hazard lights?
Yupp, the “meteor relay” is an additional feature that allows you to change the patterns but you can always go back to normal mode
Ayeeeee welcome to the led tail light gang 😎
Ahhhh yeahhhh!! Thanks bro! Just seen your vid on custom building your own, it looks hard af, you a beast 🔥🔥🔥

This is a 2 year old YT video and all but these 5thgen taillights are dope!!

Just be sure to switch it to something that looks close to legal when you leave the car shows and meets 😂😂😂

@@schalachi yeah, you can get the tailights without the blinker effects. The blinker effects is an additional $200 if I recall correctly
Who sells them , I just bought a Lude... Need Taillights anyway.
Where could i order a set? And how much did it run you? Ive been wanting led tail lights for a couple years but could never find them anywhere
You have to go in his description and there's a TH-cam channel with like 800subs and he's the guy who makes them.
The builder commented his email in that vid
Or you can keep an eye out on the yahoo Japanese auctions
Where did you buy the tail lights
Live in hawaii and can’t seem to find any aftermarket led taillights

Did I miss whats keeping u from wrapping the car one color? U have bought tons of parts since so its not a budget issue. Just wondering
I got bored of wrapping and so I moved on to other things 😂
Cool.
How much in total did these run you ?
Let’s say about as much as a maxed out iPhone 12 but you might have better luck than me with the Japan auction
@@Rawrkee fucking helll,,, u are one commited guy to the lude

Man they’re difficult to find buttt thanks for the vid g 💯
they usually come up around Thursday and ends on Sunday. I usually find it by searching 'bb6 led'
Hey bud is the Chris guy the builder or ? I want a set of these for mine to...these things are sick!!
He’s not the builder, check the TH-cam link within the description and there you can find the builder’s email within the comment section
Wow those taillights look really amazing on your car mate, if only my country allows owning Japanese cars T.T
Hello! How can I order the lights? It’s in Japanese and well I’m not fluent in Japanese 😅
Add /en to the end of the link or look for a link that say English or you can use the Google Chrome browser to auto translate the webpage
How much did you end up paying with shipping?
I think $240 for air shipping, got it within a week. Half the price would’ve been up to a 3 month wait if not longer
@@Rawrkee And lights ?
