You can paint the housing yourself. Gusto on this board has cleared a lot of headlights here. He can black them out for you for a minimal fee

IMHO, the 1.7EL lights look great, fits the car. Doing a blackout or smoke on it is a waste of those lights!

You have chrome trim all over the body anyway, that's why the chrome housing fits...

Just my $.02

I think the H4 part is the same but the turn signal is an oval... Looks different... I dunno how it'll look on a Civic... Feels kinda wrong...

from what I can see it should fit but you might have a problem with the fitting of the light bulbs cause they look different.

Oh, I see what you guys mean about the turn signals... I think there's a signal bulb inside the headlight housing too. Someone with EL confirm this.

The shape of the 1.7 headlight is different than the civics... it looks the same from far but when u look closely, it has a different edge. It will fit if u change the both side fenders.
