Question Acura 1.7 EL headlights on a Civic?...

I know that they're basically the exact same thing, but with minor exterior changes. But what I was wondering is, would the Acura 1.7 EL headlights fit properly on a 7th gen Civic, or are they a minutely different shape that is not noticeable by just eyeballing it?

Yeah I agree, that would make one killer mod if someone put that body kit on their EX Sedan in the States.

But anyway yeah, I should ask my local Acura dealer if they would fit.

Those headlights look BIG! Id say you would need a new Hood, fenders, front bumber, and aero kit? And dont forget the foglights.

Go for it dude, i personally like the grill also, maygbe you can convert the lights and grill. You can always get a Honda emblem to fit too.

I dunno about the size, cuz I remember looking at one in a parking lot, and they didn't look any bigger than the Civic's lights.

You will probably have to do some rewiring since you'll need the turn signals on the front bumper. You only have parking and driving lights in the housing.

Oh yeah, that's right I forgot. I think I'll probably not bother, because chances are, since they're OEM Honda parts, they'd probably be like $500 CDN or something like that
