headlight conversion

Can the headlights from the Acura EL fit the civic of the same year?

Re: headlight conversion

the head lights no... only for the specific model year civic will fit each others, none from other models. ei. 01-03. and 03-05.

you can "retrofit" an HID setup into your stock housing, but that requires a fair amount of skill and money.

Re: headlight conversion

The shape is slightly different and there is no turnsignal bulb in the Acura EL headlight assembly as their turnsignals were in the bumper.

Re: headlight conversion

The conversion isn't worth it because it looks very similar to em2 front end
