for those wanting to do the civic light conversion

Post by Mnemonic »

just a little heads up on what ive noticed from doing mine and seeing pictures of the others, it is better lighting than the mx3s are stock but there is a down fall, you are loosing anywhere from 20-30 percent of your lighting due to the light hitting the bumper.

Its still brighter than the stock headlights (hell what isnt) but just thought you guys would like to know

OH AND DO NOT GET THE 4 DOOR CIVIC LIGHTS WAY MORE WORK BUT THEY WILL STILL FIT :)

I thought that they looked way too much tilted down.

Well to get them to fit properly you have to cut, shave whatever term you like to use so the bumber doesn't get hit with the beam pattern

If anyone has a link to a step-by step walk through of how to do these please send me the link.. so far I was able to visit one cardomaine page with very nice pictures but I need a lot more information before buying the lights, which I would like to do tomorrow.. if it's too much of a hassel I won't do it but if it's easly feasable then I'm jumping right in.

are we talking about the same page??
http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/601340/2 ??

The only thing with headlights is page 2 and it never says exactly what to do nor does it give out pictures about how to do it...
