This is an amazing NSX tribute video featuring NSXPrime member Hong, and his uniquely modified Honda NSX. The video first appeared on Prime last weekend and has taken on a life of its own, almost going viral on car forums worldwide. Its a little hokey, a little melodramatic, but if you suspend the cynicism and absorb the “feel” you may gain a newfound respect for Honda and what it had achieved in its past.

It seems like Japan always gets the best when it comes to cars themselves and the parts on them. Japan and Europe get the all wheel drive, turbocharged Toyota Celica GT-Four, and some models of the Celica have different tail-lights and projector headlights.
Some Toyota Celicas in Japan and Europe have tail-lights that are different than the USDM tail-lights. These tail-lights are found on some of the overseas sixth generation Toyota Celicas from 1996 on. They can be imported, but cost a lot of money to import from Japan. They are a direct replacement to your existing tail-lights, and use the same bulbs and wiring as your existing Celica tail-lights. Although you probably won’t be able to go to your Toyota dealer and order these, the part number for the left JDM tail-light is 81561-2B240 and the part number for the right is 81551-2B300.
Some of theToyota Celicas available overseas have projector headlights. These headlights consist of a projector headlight for the low beam headlight and a crystal clear headlight for the high beams. These headlights can be found on the Toyota Celica SS-III and GT-Four models for the 1996 and up model years. These headlights are not available and the US, and therefore, must be imported if you want them on your car. They’re expensive to import and are not DOT approved, so they’re technically illegal to put on your car. Also, they require changes to your headlight wiring, because they use an H1 bulb for the low beam headlight. The high beam still uses the existing 9005 bulb.
