according to passwordjdm.com

H4H will fit all 1988-1991 EF Civics, 1992-1995 EG Civics, and 1990-1993 DA Integras equipped with JDM headlight housings.

I will third this.

You are wrong.

In fact, here are some links to back up how wrong you are.

http://www.candlepowerinc.com/pdfs/H4_9003.pdf
http://forums.nasioc.com/forum...10767
http://www.tundrasolutions.com...03-h4/

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">In 1991, automakers wanted to use H4 headlight bulbs on cars in the US, but the DOT decided engineering blueprints for H4 bulbs allowed too much variance in the position of the filaments within the bulb. So a new blueprint was made, with all the electrical and dimensional properties the same, but with stricter limits on filament placement variance. Because of the limits in the US on beam intensity in effect in 1991, the maximum allowable light output tolerance was also reduced. This new bulb specification was called "9003/HB2", because at the time, two numbering conventions were in use. Many 9003/HB2 bulbs also carry the "H4" marking, and vice versa, because it is possible to meet the specifications in both blueprints at the same time. The first headlamps with 9003 bulbs were on 1992 model cars.</TD></TR></TABLE>
9003 and H4 bulbs plug into the same sockets, have the same wattage, appear the same and overall look to be the same bulb, save for where the filament can be in the bulb.

It's fine to come in and tell me I'm wrong. But at least be right when you do it.
