Hey guys, couple questions. First, are the tail light bulb harnesses the same on all 96-00 year civic coupes? And the front suspension forks that connect the strut to the lca are those all the same between 96-00 2dr and/or 4dr?

The suspensions are all the same except for the ex/si getting different front LCA's for the sway bars.

The tail-light harnesses are differen't between 96-98 and 99-00. The turn signal bulb is differen't.

It's still compatible between generations, it's just hard to find the amber bulb for the 96-98 harness. I usually find them at autozone.

Thanks man,

So if I have a 2000ex my front suspension forks will not be compatible with say a 97 dx? but it would a 97 ex.

They would be compatible, you just wouldn't have mounting holes for a sway bar.

EJ8 Kenobi

the sway bar mounts to the forks? or are you say that the LCA's are not the same but the forks don't matter

Libertariat

Doh, nvmd, i thought you said Lcas.

No, all the forks are the same I belive.

To clarify:

The '96-'98 coupe taillight harness IS NOT the same as the '99-'00 coupe taillight harness. They are interchangeable, but if you have a '96-'98 harness on a '99-'00 taillight, you will likley have trouble finding the amber bulb to fit in the '96-'98 turn signal socket on the harness.

sway bars mount to the LCA not the suspension forks

Umm, I already corrected myself. Thanks Captain Obvious. You saved the day again with another useful post.
