I just received a new set of taillights that were advertised as being compatable with the 04. When I tried to install them, they fit just fine, but there are 4 places for bulbs instead of 3 like my car has. I did some searching in the forums, and I am thinking that the housing may be for an 01-03. Is there a conversion kit, or a way to get some different adapters for these taillights?

umm. the 01+ civics do not have 2 brake lights...

the 01-03 have 4 bulbs...
04+ have 3 bulbs

1. brake light
2. turn light
3. reverse
4. city light

the top hole is the brake
the bottom hole is the turn ( or it could be reversed)
middle hole is the reverse
and the small tiny hole is the city light.. which the 04+ dont have..

those look like the altezzas??

I figured it out in the end. The turn signal still doesn't fit properly. Doesn't really matter tho, after getting them both on, I realized that one was damaged and they have to be returned.

yea.. i forgot to mention you have to trim one of the clips to fit properly... same thing goes for people with an 01-03 who want to fit 04-05 tails on there cars...

this is the 04 tail conversion for 01-03s.. you can prolly get an idea of what to do by seeing what 01-03's have to do to put 04 tails on..

you dont have to buy all that stuff to do the DIY.. all you gotta do is trim some of the plastic and it will fit perfectly
