Yes, but since it needs to be absolutely precision-made, it'd be cheaper to buy a new car.

I've still got an old EK-set with 50mm Hella projectors. You can have them (yours will be 60mm) if you want
thanks but I know nothing about headlights....you lost me with Hella! lol So Im realistically going to need to swap these out to get my mot?

I thought the 4th gen lights the kickup plate was flat

so you could open them up and switch it around

they're aftermarket ones from the states so I dont think theyre the same?? anyway the garage just put tape over them to avoid the kick up, and it passed the other day so no problem now. I get a full year to enjoy them before having to worrying about it again. :D

yeah prelude's tend to be at wrong level for headlights I get blinded sometimes

i'm sure its the aftermarket lights you can switch the plate around if you wanted to attempt it one day.

the only problem is sealing back up the headlights, it can let water or condensation in if not completely sealed with rtv silicone or buytal tape
