This is what I bought. The reason I went for a cheapy being I have payed £80 for kits in all of my other cars and my mates havent but no differents in end product.
Any help is valued.
Cheers.

By the law you can not use hid conversion on prelude with standard headlights. And tbh it's not the problem with bulbs but headlights mirrors itself. After you will go for hids there will be some improvement but to see what hids can offer you really have to retrofit some lenses. I went both routes and I never expected OEM headlights being so crapy.

According to your kit make sure you cannect it with right polarity and if this still not working try some good known bulbs with your ballasts and oposite to eliminate one of reasons why it may not work. At the end of the day it may be only another one proof for "You get what you pay for"

The spade connectors should just slot into the existing bulb harness, taking care to observe positive and negative, these wires then go to the ballast, and from the ballast to the bulbs themselves. All the connectors are one way so the only thing to look out for is those spade connectors. I might be working on the car this weekend, so I'll take some pics if your still stuck.

To add to this, any pics will be while I am removing said kit to put it back to stock, for a reason.......

Ok. If not I will buy the halfords 120% bulbs. I will give it a go tomoz morning again and see if that could be the problem. I am shocked that I would have got both lights the wrong way, its worth a shoot tho.
