This Group Buy is for New E-spec LHD Glass Headlight Assembly for 1st Generation Proteges.
The quality of the North American Protege headlights have always been an issue. Now that plastic lamps lens have hazed and faded, the problem can become a safety issue.
E-Spec lighting uses the better designed H4 bulbs combined with a sharp light cut off to keep the light pointed to where you need to see, on the road. North American Protege's use DOT standard lamps. DOT spec lights point power into the sky in order to light signage overhead . This results in the loss of the lights intensity and cast. This is what gives that "tunnel" effect in snow and heavy rain conditions. The poor design of our stock 9004 bulbs doesn't help either. Properly aimed, E-spec headlights should not bother oncoming traffic using higher wattage bulbs.
The kit comes complete with all you will need to convert your DOT system over to E-spec. Both 90-92 "Square" and 93-94 323 "slant" styles are available. Note, these are the proper Left Hand Drive versions of the E-spec lamps, unlike JDM Right Hand Drive version that will aim the lights the wrong way, attracting blue and red lights.
The optional High Output kit let you run bulbs up to 100/130 watts!
New JDM Clear Corners are also available.
The basic kit includes:
- New Glass Lens Headlamps (please specify "square/slant")
- New Orange Corner Lenses (required - to fit the assembly)
- Corner Harnesses
- 9004 -> H4 Adapters
- H4 Bulbs
- Corner Bulbs
- Shipping in North America
High Output kit includes:
- relay kit
- upgraded Headlight bulbs
As many of you may know, the original group buy posted on the ProtegeClub forum was postponed, pending the outcome of legal issues regarding North American sales. The additional shipping and travel cost have to be reflected in the price of the product.
Pricing:
Basic E-spec headlight Kit - $470US (9+ orders $425US)
High Output kit - $45US
JDM Clear Corners - $155
Expect delivery of the lamps late October, early November.
*Note: These are E-spec lamps, not DOT approved, you should be aware that in some States these are illegal. In Canada and in the North Western States, I have read that they are legal. Check your local state laws if you have a concern. Using anything over 80 watts is considered "off road use only"
*minimum 6 orders required.
