Rear end swap

I have just got a 2002 LX Coupe, but i prefer the look of a 2004 tailights and rear bumper. i would have just gotten an '04 and swapped the front end but none were available. i know the tailights on the '02 are longer on the bottom, and a little taller than the '04 so i know i cant just change one or the other but is it possible to swap out both the lights and the bumper or is the rear frame different as well?

Re: Rear end swap

04 tails will go in no problem people do it all the time i have no idea what your talking about them being longer or taller who told you that ?? anyway the only difference is the bulb sockets on the back are different sizes but you can get replacement ones for the 04-05 for around 7 dollars each at http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/ . and why would you put a 02 front end on a 04 are you crazy the 04- 05 look much better . as for the bumper you can find one cheap on ebay or from CERTIFIT.com. here is a complete DIY for the tail light conversion.

also the 04- 05 bumper will bolt on just fine considering its an actual oem bumper after markets will some times be slightly off a bit regarding fitment. now if your talking about a 04-05 4 door which im assuming your not since you didn't mention such an important fact thats a different story all together.

Re: Rear end swap

thanks man, i wasnt sure about the size, and no one ever told me, i was just looking at it. theres not alot of 04-05's around here so i never had a chance to park next to one and compare.
