Question Girl needs help!

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum so apologies in advanced lol.

I have never worked on a car and wanted to start modifying mine. I found this picture:



I really like the front lights. Could anyone help point me in the right direction to get these?

Thank you!

Re: Girl needs help!

You can just get OEM ones and spray the inside housing, thats what I would do... I wouldnt trust ebay head lights they suck at sealing the head lights so it fogs up really bad over time...

Re: Girl needs help!

Depends on the manufacturer, I've heard lots of good things about the K2Motor set. But I agree, what you should do is learn how to open the lights (it's pretty easy) and then paint the stock housings black. It's a common mod and really easy to do.

I say you're headed in the right direction, that's a beautiful Civic to be inspired by.

Re: Girl needs help!

I would definitely stay away or be very cautious of ebay. Might check out youtube as well to see if there's some good ideas (usually is).

Re: Girl needs help!

I did a retrofit a year ago and used the retrofit source sealant to desk them up and have had no fogging issues
