question: headlight and fuel gauge

1) will the amber piece of a sedan headlight fit into a coupe headlight?
2) is it a known problem that the 7thgen fuel gauge is messed up. I asked hondawerx about 2 years ago, and he said it was. For instance sometimes I turn off my car with 4-5 bars of gas, then when i use my car again the fuel light will be on and the needles is at the lowest.

Thanks everyone

1. the amber pieces are the same size, but the clips are in different spots. It' won't stay in unless you mod it or glue it in somehow. Cause the clips on the amber won't match the holes in the headlight.

2. fuel sender is faulty. Mine would read below empty even tho there was 5 gallons left.Have it replaced under warranty and it should be better. Just tell em to try not to spill gas under your rear seat cushion like they did with mine.

thanks box.
Do u suggest just getting coupe amber lenses then? A girl on the site who lives by me said she would give me her sedan lenses for free.
And is the fuel problem a common problem with 7thgens?

1. won't work, you has some clips you can cut off though. then it'll fit good.

2. works fine for me.

well no the clips hold it in place. Otherwise it'll be loose.
