- Buy once, Cry once! In today's video, the Acura RSX Type S build gets a NEW set of OEM headlights. After being disappointed in cheap aftermarket headlights, that route was NOT the answer for this OEM+ DC5 build. So let's install these MINTY lights and some JDM goodies to make this car look NEW again! Enjoy!
As usual, this RSX Type S project car continues to cost more and more. While I enjoy doing budget Honda builds and saving money, these RSX headlights were beyond headlight restoration. After ordering a set of Eagle Eyes Headlights, I was disappointed in the build quality and knew I had to go OEM to be happy. My normal Honda Junkyard runs weren't successful in finding any, so I dug deep and ordered a brand new set from Acura. Overkill for an almost 200k mile RSX? Probably, but this transformed this car to look new again!
Installing Honda headlights is generally pretty easy. For the RSX, the front bumper needs to be removed to have access to all the bolts. While I wanted to upgrade the headlights to HID or LED, I just didn't have time in today's video. New bulbs were installed along with some JDM Nokya Yellow High Beams! As the cherry on top, I install the new DC5 Type R Honda "H" emblem on the front bumper. Overall, an expensive video with a NEWish result. Happy with how clean this build is coming!
Here's some of the parts in today's video!

Earlier today, I was browsing marketplace, as one does, and found an rsx, at which point I thought to myself, “huh all day Anthony didn’t post last week, I wonder when he’ll post.” funny how that worked
It's minor details that make and break the car! It looks clean, and I can't wait to see what is next.
Love this series! I’ve done most of these upgrades and replacements for my 05 Type S over the 1.5 decades with it. Keep it coming!
Love this build. Makes me want a JDM honda. Your videos are so helpful.
Loving the content as always. I see the love for this car in your videos and you know that love is deep when you spend OEM prices for the parts. You just know it is worth it.
Your videos are so helpful. I bought a 04 rsx-s last year in Alaska. 120k miles, all oem, not a great deep snow car.. I'm glad to hear that they all grind at startup under 32 degrees..
Recently upgraded from my 7th Gen civic to a first gen Acura TSX love the videos!
Fog lights would look amazing on it! Love your builds!
Every time I watch finish your RSX videos, I always go to my garage and look at mine. :) The RSX aged like wine. Its nice to see others going the extra mile and replacing parts the right way. Unfortunately, the leather seats are one thing that cracks quick. I was fortune enough to pick some 05-06 cloth seats back in 2018 and they are incredible!! The Honda badges are really growing one me. By any chance is the front emblem for sale? I've scoured the internet can't find any fronts for the 02-04. Love the context, looking forward for what to come!
When I put my halos on my 03, it has a bit of a gap on top. You see more of the headlight instead of it being flush with the hood. Other than that the halos look great. But it has been 10 years. I have restored them about 5 times. I'm planning o getting a new set after I get the car painted.
Thank you AllDayAnthony. Ordering off the same website and doing in a couple of weeks. This is great content.
love the Video! I just recently had to buy OEM headlights for my GE8 FiT so I know your pain lol
I feel you on the headlights Anthony. I spent close to 500 on my brand new oem headlights. Worth every penny 👌
Great job it looks amazing !!
It looks absolutely beautiful!!
headlights really do justice to a car so thats why im very picky with my jdm type r headlights, your rsx and videos really show the details you put into it
Fantastic upgrade. The Avalon dust covers are the real mvp.
Looks great I like the yellow high beams cool having three colors again the black paint
Hi Anthony. Another great video of the RSX. Its looking so good, factory oem fresh.👍🏼
