Custom Projectors (01 Civic aftermarket projector lights

[rdawg000]

I install 01 civic projectors i didn't break the seal what i did was cut the back housing to make it fit..... a b**** to install but it worked then i used the honda civic wiring and connected them to the mx3 wiring so i didn't have to cut bigger ports check out my webpage i will have more pics soon

Fixed title a bit. Sorry guys, Civic aftermarket projectors are not "custorm projectors" Just in case someone is expecting a custom jobby.

Props on the different approach to retrofitting though. Gives people a different idea.

Are the lenses in those lights tinted dark?

Car looks great btw, nice & clean. Pics are sweet too, much clearer looking to show how u fitted them. :props:

BTW: did you have to cut any sheet metal away from the radiator support or fender to fit them?

Also, what did you do to mount them firmly to the car? Like in terms of bracketry?


I still have'nt fit mine to my car, been lazy mostly & I use my car for pizza delivery (gasp!) so I can't have it headlightless for more than 1 day or so at a time.

MAN those are some nice installs!! good job!

the only problem I have with this idea is the sheer size of those lights. When you look closely at one of the pics you'll see what I mean. There seems to be a gap between the fender and the bumper right by the lights. It looks like the lights are pushing on the bumper causing it not to lign up properly. Won't be noticed by most but that's something that would drive me insane. With the set that I've got, the lens alone doesn't want to fit in without doing this same problem, so for proper fitment and no gaps it DOES need to be cut.

it does appear to be pushin downward , and as you can see in my cardomain site ,I didn't have cut very much off for fitment maybe a inch at the most ........... but to some the gap may not matter ??

ya, if the car isn't going to shows or anything then that's a perfect way to do it. 90% of the general public won't even notice.

My own personal feelings is that it should be cut. But I'm biased since I hit every major car show east of mtl so I can't have a gap like that... although small gaps are easilly hidden.

Im not done fittin them in i just got them down fast for a show this weekend, im gonna cut more of the back housing out so i can get the bumper and fender to align right...plus im gettin a new front street fighter bumber so no worries anyway
