Same as your turn signals, but they only have one connector on the bottom instead of the duals.

I think he's refeing to the city light bulb, though don't recall ANY CTR headlight knockoff (CTR style) housing that had a city light spot in it.

Anyways, just go to your local Honda dealer, and pick up a pair of the '97-'01 Prelude city light sockets that fit 194/168 type wedge bulbs. Then go to Pep Boys/Kragen/Auto Zone and buy whatever color wedge bulb that fits the socket, that your heart desires. This is what I did with my genuine Stanley CTR headlights I got back in November. The Prelude sockets should cost you no more than $15 for the pair. I put PIAA Ion Plasma bulbs to use for the city lights. VERY nicely accent my Super Plasma GT-X headlight bulbs, to give them that cool irriansecant look to them from at angles.

thanks for the help guys....silvery2K....that really helps a lot....i was talking with a dealer the other day and the guy was such a dick....had no idea what i was talking about....so that info should help me out a lot....

so, yeah i was suprised that these CTR knock-offs actually had the city light socket....for a knock off the quality seems decent....they fit perfectly....

rico....i fixed the front end of the car....no more euro-trash....check it out....

Click on How Tos and there is a section called city lights. You have to order the Prelude City Light Sockets from Honda and then wire them in...

Anyone know if the OEM CTR headlights already have the socket installed or not?

Please disregard my question, someone answered it privately. Thanks.
