As far as i know you can MAKE them fit, but they don't just bolt on and look perfect. Search in the archives i think i already saw a post like this one.

 

nope you are going to need a lot of fabrication... its not going to be worth the money and time spend IMO if its not done right... you are better off getting the SiR jdm headlights...

do you know what you are talking about?

with some time and patience you can make them fit. the main probis the fender/corner light is shaped a bit differently. this has been done and is possible.

the easiest headlight swp is the jdm si (zc) headlightws since they bolt in like stock, are smooth/no nipples and are one bulb lamps as opposed to the us spec 2bulb.

the si-r head lights require the filler piece and a hood from an si-r to fit right...how is that an easier way out?

 

yea i know what i am talking about... SiR headlights are much easier fab than the sedan 1 pc ones...

 

fenders are easier to work with than hoods...especially if yout ake a sedan fender and cut the corner lens sectio out and weld it into the hatch fender.

any good body man could do this in an hour or so.

 

well found the thread i was looking for...

to back up my opinion why this will be a waste of money and time if not done right (all i am saying if you cant do it right dont try it at all)
first you will be better off fabricating a jdm front end rather than a usdm crx front end
the other thing is the 1 pc sedan headlights are 2 inches longer so you will either have to go thru the fender and hood to make proper alignment which will take time and money if you have no idea what you are doing... last and i am quoting ludeefv2.0

yes there is quite a bit involved but to be original and have it look good it surewould be worth it.

and LudeEFv2.0...you mean collins. i know that guy personally so this topic has been covered at various meets and beer days with him. ultimately, it is not worth it but atht ehsame point if you really want it-it's possible.

 

yea those pics are from my old thread!!!

god i wanted those on my car really bad.

the easiest way is to get a jdm frontend from passwordjdm and just weld it onto your usdm car.

the sedan lights are not as tall, and longer then the usdm and jdm crx lights.

so its too long, and not tall enough, both of which youd have to overcome with custom work. so then i was going to order the sedan front, i even had the money all together for it, but i bailed bc i hate that metal strip the jdm sedans have, which is similar to what the usdm hatches have.

also from searching like crazy here on honda tech i did once find images of a blue USDM hatch, with the one piece lights, so i know of at least one guy who has it, it looked great, but you better be ******* the owner of a body shop or have deep pockets to make it line up without the rest of the jdm sedan frontend on the car.

one last thing, the sedan front is approx 1 inch LONGER then the crx front, almost enough to notice from a side profile and disrupt the geometry of the car....

things to consider, hope i was helpful. if you get it done send me pics, id be impressed
