You need to replace the sealed beams with H4 housings.

they should fit the exact same. if they don't fit then they are probably the wrong size. there are different sizes of sealed beam headlights.

Oops, I misunderstood. I thought you had H4 bulbs and needed housings to fit them. You need to get 200mm x 140mm H4 housings, which are a direct drop-in replacement for the FC's stock sealed beams.

Anything that cheap will be poor quality. Avoid eBay and stick to the namebrand stuff.

I bought PILOT at Autozone, they were $50 they work great fit great and are GLASS. I bought (dare i say it) APC bulbs for $29.99 and they are wicked bright and look about as close to hid as you can get so for $79 I got a good kit.

If you can afford it, go with Cibie headlights -- those things are worth their weight in gold. I have Hella H4 replacement E-code headlights, and they are NOTHING compared to the Cibies I have in my Prelude...

And when you drop in 100/130watt Narva bulbs with upgraded harness -- oh man, I swear it is brighter then most HIDs out there...hitting the highbeams lets me see into the next city

The Cibie or the Hella H4 conversion housings are hands down the best you can get.
Do NOT buy that ebay junk. You will not only sacrifice safe lighting for youself, but you will also endanger all others on the road by blinding them.
