How do your projectors look?

I have one concern about doing the civic projector swap. When done, and done well, does it look to be of OEM quality fitting? I've seen all the pictures, but I can't tell if tucking the assembly under will still allow it to look flush with the rest of the body.

i had quite a few people tell me they thought they were stock headlights when i had my swap done. As long as your hood lines up good everything should be fine.

Here's the best write up I've found on the project:

According to this guy, as long as you keep trimming everything, you can get a pretty good fit.

BTW...we need a write up like this one in the FAQ's. (Don't know if we already have one, I haven't checked in a while.

)

Heh, that's Didlin's write-up. And I agree, it's the best source of swap info I've seen.

Didlin, if I missed it somewhere in your walkthrough I apologize, but how much time would you estimate you spent fitting the lights?

Haha...I've been wondering who that belonged to! Good job on the write up!!!

The first head light took us 4 or 5 days, but that wasnt consistant work, that was with breaks and watching the game etc.. But the 2nd light only took us 5 or 6 hours once we knew what had to be done. I think you could probally do it all in one day if you started in the morning and worked at it all day. I guess it really depends on how much time you have and how carful you are cutting the lights.
