Xenon ballast adapers for Honda accord VII (Euro)

thingiverse

These are adapters I made for attaching non-OEM xenon ballasts (the small ones) to the factory mounting points (meant for the bigger ballasts) on the headlights of my Honda Accord VII (The European version) or for my American friends that is Accura TSX from 2003 to the 2008 year. For attaching the ballast to the adapter you can use M3 nuts and M3 x 10 bolts or longer To attach the adapter to the headlight, you need to use screws from at least 5.5 x 18mm to around 6 x 25mm. (Side note on using 5.5mm screws - since the screw cuts in the plastic to make its own threads, be careful when screwing because of the threads' tendency to strip very easily) If printed on a 3D printer without a heated enclosure, I highly recommend using a brim with at least 15 lines to prevent edges (and in rare cases the whole part) from separating from the build platform. Also, in my opinion, PLA isn't a reasonable option for these, because when exposed to even 35-40℃ and a little stress, it easily deforms and becomes loose around attaching points (screws, bolts, and nuts).
