*These are Genuine OEM Honda parts from Europe. Also known as EDM specs. Some of these specs might also have been available in Japan and USA. The purpose of this thread is to educate people about the European market.

Please feel free to post any info or photos you want. I would like to keep this mostly an informational thread. Thanks.


Exterior Specifications - Headlights



^^^ 2-piece black housing headlights. STANLEY.


^^^ black border housing corner lights. STANLEY.



^^^ 2-piece chrome housing headlights. STANLEY. Notice the
chrome arches in the housing? The USDM stock headlights are different.
Look below for comparison...


^^^ These are USDM. No chrome arches like EDM.


^^^ Some ludes in Europe (mostly Germany) had motorized height adjusting headlights (2-piece chrome or black housing).
This is the switch to control these headlights. It helps adjust the beam.
The switch fits in the center console, replacing one of the blanks.

^^^ Headlight Adjuster switch inside a console plate. 92-93 ludes.


^^^ Honda also offered this nifty little option. Headlight washers.
Here is a pic of the switch and the relay that controls the system.
The switch fits in the center console, replacing one of the blanks.

The EDM cars, regardless of make have always been way cooler.

the euro r intake mani, hands down, is the best intake mani for an h22. aftermarket or not. im a lil partial to the jdm 1pc headlights, but i do like the edm ones as well. although i would like to get an edm rear foglight for my ride.

Exterior Specifications - Lighting


^^^ Amber Side Markers. STANLEY. All European Preludes came stock with these. *you will notice side markers on all Preludes in this thread.


^^^ Clear reflectors. STANLEY. 1994-96 models.
Since European Prelude had side markers there was no need to have the outer bumper lights utilize the blinking function. Instead, there were these outside clear reflectors. They were often combined with either all amber or amber/clear bumper lights.

^^^ *92-93 models had amber reflectors.

^^^Here is a pic of the reflectors. These are Genuine Honda.



^^^ More pics. Notice that there is no opening for the socket?




^^^Now here are the JDM clear cornering lights. These are a completely different cup of tea. I will get into these later. These do have a bulb and a socket, they illuminate the area to where you are turning.


^^^ USDM. In USA Preludes have rear bumper reflectors. In Europe that is not the case.

^^^ No rear bumper reflectors. EDM.

Exterior Specifications - Rear Fog Lights



^^^ 1992-1996 Honda Prelude EDM Rear Fog Light.

*Rear Fog lights are a requirement in Europe. The purpose of the rear fog
is to allow the visibility of your car to OTHER drivers in extreme conditions.



^^^ In UK the rear fog is on the right side of the rear bumper.


^^^ In other countries like Germany for example, the rear fog is on the left side. Germany, Austria, Italy, France and many other countries have the steering wheel on the left side. Just like USA!!!
Only UK and some other Euro countries like Ireland and Scotland have the wheel on the right side like Japan.


Just to balance out the look, a few luders went dual rear fog lights.
(Hey Kyle!).




^^^ EDM Rear Fog Switch. Fills the spot for where your usual USDM dimmer switch goes. Wondering what to do about the dimmer?
Don't worry. In Europe they had an alternate version dimmer that fits in
the center console. Check out the pic below.


^^^ EDM dimmer switch. Fits in the center console.


^^^ Rear Fog Light disassembled. Lens, Housing and Bracket.

i do like 2 of the fogs back there. any ideas where i can get this thing?

+1, yeah definitely way cooler!

jdm HL are plastic, making them subject to chips, scratches, marks etc.
on top of that they are fragile.
edm HL are glass, durable, tough. Also they are easy to polish and bring back to new.

I usually have them from time to time. As of right now I only have 1 left.
You can also try ebay, they have them sometimes.

sounds good. i think i might get that from the store.

Interior Specifications - EDM coin holder and coin pull out tray, rare.

Here are two rare EDM options. One is a coin holder, the other is a storage tray that pulls out from underneath the dash.

EDM spec accessories. Headlight Protector Covers.

My friends Prelude. He is from Germany.

Here is one of the absolute hardest options to come by. EDM Hood Protector.
This is a Genuine Honda Factory part. Access option from Europe.

Here are some more 4th gen EDM features.


EDM factory stock rear bumper. No bumper lights! Very clean!


NO PASSENGER AIRBAG. Some models in Europe had no airbag.



EDM cargo lights. Bottom corner of the door panels. Light up when the door is open. These allow people too see
the cargo area and the ground area at night. Clear ones (see pic.) are more common, the red ones are really rare.
These are Stanley, and a very rare feature in a 4th gen Prelude. Luxury option.

Well, I like to smoke that fine Indica and Sativa. In Europe they like to smoke their tail lights, fogs and other lenses.

Here is a 3rd gen from Germany with a smoked rear center panel.





also a 4th gen from France, with a smoked rear fog light and tail lights.


same 4th gen with smoked bumper turn signals and side markers.

so dan. do you have access to the coin pocket, headlight gaurds, or the hood protector?

at the moment no. The headlight and the hood protector are some of the most rare for the 4th gen. I only had them once, and they were sold instantly.

I had a bunch of coin pockets and will have more in the future. Will let you know. I have the coin tray coming in soon. The one that slides out from underneath.

koo. just lemme know.

Are you looking to do a rear fog installation?

This is a nice possibility. A 5th gen JDM FRONT fog switch, will easily fit and can be wired for a 4th gen prelude.

This will fit into a 4th gen triple switch panel, even tho this was meant to be for a 5th gen. I know this dude in UK who has
a edm rear fog switch and this jdm front fog switch together with the cruise rocker switch. All located in the triple bezel.


^^^ jdm corner sensor switch

Thats it for now. If I can remember some more I will post them. Please feel free to add anything I might have missed.
Like I said in the beginning of this switch post, this post also contains JDM and USDM switches as well. These are NOT strictly EDM

here are some pictures of 92-96 Honda Prelude EDM lip kit. Front lip, side skirts and rear lip are all Genuine Honda. The Altezzas are rice, and I am upset that this kid removed his stock tail lights. The EDM lip kit is Genuine tho.

EDM spec Interior Chrome Door Handles. Very rare.





In USA all 4th gen Preludes came with Black door handles.

EDM 4th gen Prelude. No sunroof. The switch plate has a blank filler or a rear fog light switch instead of the sunroof switch.

TCS - EDM Traction Control switch. Rare Feature. Also notice that the cruise control switch is completely different from USDM.
