Re: 2001 - 2003 Post your ride....
i think the whole front bumper should be put back to stock. everything else isnt bad. yes 05 tails will fit with some rewiring since the bulb sockets are a bit different. but shape is the same. they also have some nice led tails on ebay that are similar to the 05 type.

Do you know if people have had good experiences with those tails? Would you still need to mod the wiring to make them fit in an 01-03?

^^^ agree with Awjvail that black car is SEXY!!!
after a oil change and a few minor things im finally going to start modding the exterior of my car ....JDM mesh grill, front lip, aero sideskirts and rear lip, fog lights, rims, 02 tail

Re: 2001 - 2003 Post your ride....
Yeah - me too. Except my car is SSM which sometimes does not take well to mods such as these.
Also, I love the bra on his car for some reason. Once again, it might look stupid on an SSM civic.
Reading comprehension ftw.
I recommend getting an electric turbo. They r hawt.
Re: 2001 - 2003 Post your ride....
not gonna lie, i think the lambo doors and those rims are pretty awesome even if they are rice. but not really liking the front and back bumper, go back to stock on those imo and it should look much better. kinda surprised it didn't have a bleacher on the back with all those things done to it
Re: 2001 - 2003 Post your ride....
the tail lights will physically fit perfectly and bolt in no problem. as for the wiring, yes you have to mod the wiring to install them into an 01-03. you will need to find a 7440 single filament socket (socket with two wires) that fits into the tail light housing for your signal light. you splice that new socket into the existing 3156 signal light wires and thats it. your brake light will plug right into the leds, and the reverse socket will twist right in place.
**just for reference - by installing these led tail lights you WILL lose your cruise control unless you activate your 3rd brake light. (there must be an actual bulb in the braking system somewhere or your cruise control wont work).

Re: 2001 - 2003 Post your ride....
there is a cruise control fix floating around you just add a resistor to the cruise modulator box under the hood.
Re: 2001 - 2003 Post your ride....
there's an easier way to do the taillight conversion. Might be considered a "hack" job but I've had it for years with no problems.
Buy 04-05 tails
just get the turn signal bulb for the 04-05 coupe tails. trim connectors and sockets so they fit. that's it

i think it was gearbox that said you can find the oem fogs one ebay for like 40 dollars are all the products on ebay legit or are they just some knock offs that are going to break in like a year
