If you can find aftermarket HS5 bulbs, then you've struck gold.

You can't.
The whole headlamp assembly needs to be changed or modified.

How-To: chang the light bulbs

There are xenon bulbs available but the hs5 bulbs fitted as standard are double filament and the xenons aren't. Its how to get a dipped and main beam working correctly thats the problem This means reworking the lamps or fitting a custom headlamp, but they are pricey. It would be easier to fit extra driving lamps if its better lights you want.

To keep the How-To forum clean per the guidelines here: http://www.hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=762, I am moving this thread to the General subforum. :)

I'm also changing the title, this is not a how-to. :|
