    swap exec model HID headlights onto type S?

    Hi guys, Is it a straight swap to get some factory HID headlights from the exec model and swap them straight onto the 2003 type s model? I'm thinking (hoping) quicker and easier than an aftermarket HID conversion. If this is possible, would it have to be the pre facelift headlights or will...

    VSA Brake Switch Clean

    My VSA light pops on occasionally as well. Does anyone have the part number for the whole sensor as if its only cheap I'd rather replace it than mess about with it?

    Hello all - I now own a 7th Gen Accord Type S Tourer! Some Q's

    £22.50? http://www.meguiars.co.uk/shop/meguiar-s-headlight-restoration-kit Seems a bit steep for some fluid and a buffing pad. Also some of the Meguiars reviews are saying that the discolouration comes back in a couple of months? Any other options? Oh I'm also looking for car mats for it...
