I want these headlights, they don't make for 04 type s model?

fogs are common, but a lot of people end up replacing the glass with Lexan after it breaks. There's a DIY I can find if it comes to that.

Personally I think having HALO's on your foglights is a bit overdoing it.

Well I went ahead and bought the headlights, fog lights to match, and the type r wing from that site for $388

w00t!

Nice man! Well on your way to having a tight looking RSX!

Has anyone put a conversion kit in to make the bulbs brighter?

[TireMeltingRSX]

Yep, a few of us have.

There IS one small concern (at least for me) and that is the number of times I've read about a pebble or rock breaking the fog lens. ...maybe because it's lower to the ground.

No, because the glass is the cheapest thin shit material that Acura could find to use as fog lights. My dealers excuse when confronted: "Oh, well that's how [Michigan][insert local state here] roads are."

Yeah, lexan is crap. Started bubbling on me only 2 months after having replaced the glass.

After my snow bank incident and getting new fogs, I ran out and found a clear bra installer that has some 40mil plastic I could cover the glass with. Installed in Jan, they haven't chipped or broken yet, and after five months of solid use, the plastic just started to burn and change color. I haven't had the time to swap the old plastic out with the new yet.

Hehe, maybe get yellow lenses to start with and when the plastic starts turning that yellow, color, NO PROBLEM !

when mine broke, i saw huge chucks of rocks inside the foglights housing. insurance replaced it for free when i got into my accident. i told my carrier that those broke cuz of the accident. then, i sold it to Andy.

Not me *tear*

Actually the projector headlights was gonna be one of my first upgrades to the rsx, once i get it back that is. However, i was wondering if it is really worth the extra $250 or so to get the HID bulbs with the headlights? If i do decide to get em i will probably ask a lot more questions about what kind, installs and stuff, but right now i am just trying to decide if it is worth it in the first place.

Personally I think it is... the light output from HIDs over halogens is exponentially better. You will see better at night. Plus, blue lights look so much cooler than yellow.
