The UK taillights are directly bolt in and requires no modification at all. The only difference is that the UKDM taillights don't have the side marker lights but can be done by DIY. http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...ght=taillights
This post tells you how to do it. It doesn't really matter if you want to do it or not.

Wow. I wish I would have seen this post earlier. I snagged my 04 tail off of eBay for about 60 shipped. It was an AWESOME deal. I just happened to spot them right after they'd been listed and used BUY IT NOW. Anyways, I've been driving without blinkers and heres the reason: The 04 lights have a different signal bulb. Now normally you'd think "just buy a new bulb". Wrong. All of the bulbs sit inside of the bulb plug, which is what the harness plugs into. The reason that the plug is important is because out lights are the kind that you insert and turn to lock into place. You cannot buy the plugs alone and thus you have to purchase the entire harness. Employee cost is still 56 bucks. The harness plugs into the main harness inside the trunk, just behind the passenger tire. From there it rides along the quarter panel to the passenger tail and then to the drivers. I still haven't fixed mine, but I'll simply find another plug I can use and rig it to stay and use t-taps to plug into the old harness. Or simply go look in your local junkyards for a wrecked one and snip the plugs off of the factory harness. (If you can spot a wrecked 04) OK I'm done goodnight.
IF and only IF the plugs actually still plug into the designated location, then remove the actual cover (lens) from the outside and connect the bulbs from within (shouldn't be too hard). BUT first tell me if they still "plug" into the desired hole.
