you need to get the EL trunk lid i believe then you can swap it in and rewire it.

rear bumper of the EL is not completely the same. there is a slight indentation on the lowered middle bottom (kinda like the 03-05)

really shouldn't it be the same if the years of the EL and Civic are the same?

It can be done.. there was a user on here that did it, ferioooohhhhhh or something of that nature, GL

you might wanna check the height where the bumper and the tail light meet. From what I am seeing, there may be a slight difference between the EL and civic

are you serious? sweet is he still a member here? or does anyone have a picture of his car?

hmm... yeah a lot of people has said that i'll look into that!

Thanks man... but damn... it seems like it's on an '01-'03! but i wonder if it would fit an '05 EL into my '05 Civic cause i like the tail lights on that year better!

Smash this MOD cause we just recieved an 05 Acura EL at my work and i measured the outer tail lights and it's wider and longer than my civic... might try to find 01-03 EL tail lights which i believe fits in my civic... does anybody know if there's other altezza tail lights for the 01-03?
