Will Honda civic headlight fit Acura?

I'm hoping someone like Gearbox might chime in with their knowledge. I'm looking to purchase an 01 Acura EL which is basically a dressed up civic. Does anyone know if an 01 civic headlight will fit an 01 Acura EL?

Cheers,

i think so, shape is nearly identical. the civic lights would actually look better than those crazy acura ones. you may just have some issues with the wire harness and connectors for park/turn that you would need from dealer.

i saw a similar post like this on another thread and they said you would have to do a civic conversion so the bumpers, hood etc.

I've got a 1.7 EL, and the answer is NO.
The lights are not swappable... you'd need to convert the entire front end to make it work, or get some serious custom fabrication going.

Not worth it, IMHO.
