1. The headlight units are available in championship white (NH0) or silver (NH659M) with an internal paint color, and in HID or halogen specifications. I felt that championship white would not match the Berlina Black body, so I purchased the silver HID specification. The HID specification has a round hole on the bottom of the headlight, and the wiring is pulled directly from the ballast fixed to the bottom to the inside. It is unclear whether the projector specifications are different for HID and halogen, but if you want to install an external HID, it may be better to purchase the halogen specification without a hole on the bottom. According to the information found by parts search, all coupes other than the NSX-R, TypeT, TypeS, etc. are silver HID specifications, and only the NSX-R can choose halogen. The halogen specification is thought to be aimed at users who value weight reduction. Since the used price was also rising, I decided to choose a new one.

NSX NA2 Late-Model Headlight Unit

As an aside, when searching for parts, there is an NSX-RG T with the interior color B92P (Nighthawk Black Pearl). The light color of the NSX-R GT can only be confirmed as white in books and other documents, but when searching for parts, Black Pearl is listed as the standard. When I actually tried to order this part number, Honda's response was, "The part does exist, but it will be produced after receiving an order, so it will take 90 days to deliver. Also, you will need to present your vehicle inspection certificate when ordering."

Since there is no vehicle inspection certificate for the NSX-R GT, I asked, "I won't complain about the parts I receive, so please let me order them by part number only," and they replied, "Only the owner of the vehicle can order them." When I asked, "So you mean it's impossible to sell after all?", they said, "If an NSX-R GT owner places an order with the vehicle inspection certificate, even for a single piece, we’d manufacture it from scratch — as long as the order comes from an owner with the certificate." There was only one NSX-R GT sold to the general public in the world. So in reality, placing an order is next to impossible.

HID is Odyssey genuine product

1. New genuine HID ballasts and burners are quite expensive, so I looked for a compatible option, so I looked for a compatible genuine HID for other cars of the same age. I bought the genuine HID for the Odyssey (DBA-RB1/DBA-RB2) because it looked exactly like the NSX one and seemed like it would fit. The connector was not included, so I searched through the thinned wiring I had and found that I could use the two-pole coupler for the NSX genuine fog lights.

* There is a connector at the end of the wiring attached to the ballast. This is a coupler for connecting to the aftermarket HID harness that was attached before the fixed light was replaced, but we did not use it this time.

Odyssey HID bolts onto NSX lights

1. When I installed it, it was a bolt-on as expected. In addition to the Odyssey, it seems that it can be used for any car that was sold at the same time, such as the Accord (CL7/CL8/CL9) and CR-V (RD6/RD7).

Genuine HID Hides Ballast-to-Burner Wiring

1. Genuine HID ballasts can be installed under the light, so there is no need to secure another installation space. Moreover, the wiring that connects to the burner comes out from the top of the ballast and goes directly into the light, making it look neat.

Genuine Bumper & Underpanel for Fixed Lights

1. The bumper is divided into three parts: the face (upper), skirt (lower), and spoiler (lip). In addition, duct covers and screws are also required, so the number of parts used is very large. I purchased the bumper skirt for the NSX-R (71102-SL0-Z10ZZ). All screws were also purchased as genuine parts with Geomet treatment. The underpanel shown in the photo was attached using the undercover for the 02R.open_in_new reference.
2. This is the state after assembly after painting was completed. The part numbers for the front bumper skirts are different for the Coupe, Type S, and NSX-R. The Coupe and Type S have "COMP." in the part name and have a grille installed under the air deflector, so the Coupe version is more expensive than the NSX-R version.
3. I painted the air guide plate on the skirt side using photos from a book as reference, but since I don't have the exact information I can't be sure it's correct.

Towing hook cover

1. Some aftermarket products omit the tow hook cover and the round caps on both sides, but the presence of these parts makes it easier to identify this bumper as a genuine Honda component. The fitment was also satisfactory.

Condenser duct cover installed only on NSX-R

1. The condenser duct covers for the left and right openings are parts exclusive to the NSX-R. According to the 02R press informationopen_in_new , these duct covers reduce the front condenser opening area, achieving a Clf value of −0.025.
