RSX headlights into our civic

question, will the rsx stock headlight bolt right into our cars, i was looking at it the other day and it looks like the same exact housing and mounting, i mean i know the front bumper will have to modified, or mabey a RSX front bumper will fit right on as well?? what do you guys think,.

no i dont think so they are longer
probalby the 04 civics might have a chance putting the 05 headlights but i dont really think they'll fit plus i dont see why to do it

Importracer will become famous soon enough

easy mod to do... you need:

RSX HOOD + Hinges
RSX Fenders
RSX Headlight Assem.
RSX Front Bumper Clips
RSX Headlight Supports
RSX Front Bumper

The rest is just small DIY's... I know a couple people that have done it.. The stock hood latch has to be modified a bit but everything else pretty much bolts up... Have a shop do it if your not confident enough...

So we can get an aftermarket RSX front bumper, fenders, and headlights and do the swap that way? That is so sweet!

dude, i dont even think we need all that, the bodylines of our front quarter panel and the RSX's look the same, and im looking at it, and i think the rsx headlight is a civic headlight, with the addition of thoes 2 half circles at the bottom. i think all i would need is the rsx headlight, and aftermartket front clip, but you cant tell me that doesnet look sweet! THANKS FOR THE PIC!!!

Looking the same doesn't mean they are the same.

The Civics headlight has a sharper curve on the fender than on the RSX.
Look closely and you'll see its not the same.

ok i could see it need a little bit of mod work to get them to fit in there perfect, thanks for the answers guys, i just think it would look cool cause i mean the civic and the rsx are so similar, from the front angle, that white civic up there looks like a rsx, and yet is a civic - i dig that
