I stumbled across this thread for a keyhole cover: https://acurazine.com/forums/car-parts-sale-361/keyhole-cover-wdp-805492/

ending up picking them up and installing them in under 30sec using a flat head. highly recommended!

This got me going on doing some more upgrades for my car. I want to do the ZKW-R headlight + Philips 85122+ HID bulbs but want to make sure I am doing everything correctly.

I will be buying:
ZKW-R w/ spacers??: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...roducts_id=136
Philips 85122+: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...roducts_id=148

Will I need anything else? Or any other recommendations.

From what I have read, there does not seem to be a lot of tangible difference between ZKW and ZKW-R (besides a price difference).

I have also been looking into angel eyes and turn signal switchbacks but haven't had luck in finding where to buy and comparisons.

also looking into interior led lights: http://www.amazon.com/Acura-White-In.../dp/B005C2BZLY

thanks a bunch.

 

Get the Osram CBI's that the retrofit source sells. They're just as bright as the 85122+ bulbs but pure white. The 85122+ bulbs are bright as hell but slightly yellow.

 

there so many variations of the osram on the website,

i found this, http://headlightretrofits.com/2012/1...mparison-pics/

from reading that I believe the Osram SVS is the better choice.

thanks for your reply, i think i'll keep reading up, anyone else have anything to add?

 

post some pictures when you are done

 

get some spacers for the zkw-r lens....trust me it helps a lot

 

How much easier is it with spacers, cause I didn't get any, am I in for some fun?

 

You can make your own spacers out of a cereal box. TRS sells them now so just ask them when you buy your ZKW clear lenses. Otherwise you can email Matt and ask for some. They're very cheap.
Spacers are almost a must when doing the lens swap. Gives you easier ability to fine the lenses without bending the shields.
