Default Will 98-02 Euro R headlights fit 98-02 USDM Accords?

Hey just wondering if these will bolt onto 98-02 USDM Accords without modification:

They look almost the same, but seems to be less curvy than the usdm ones. Does anyone know? thanks

Require slight modification.
Not a direct fit but very close.

dude, what are you talking about?

NONE of the body panel come close to fit.

and to answer your question, you'll need to cut/mold/paint your hood, fender, bumper, which pretty much everything you can think of.

I personally saw a 5th gen accord sitting in the bodyshop that already have the light mold in. it looks(and size wise) very close to 5th gen stanley jdm two piece light but again, they will not fit.

the front wouldn't clear the caliper, the spec clearance i need is only 1-1.5mm but the thinest spacer i could found(in resonable price that is) is 3mm.

i think it goes the same as 4th and 5th gen, known a guy used a metal file to file away the caliper. that works too but it's a mess and i am pretty lazy

the mounting holes are positioned in different location then 6th gen...see if you can find headlight measurment for the euro accord, my main concern is i think euro is a little smaller

they won't fit you'll need a lot of work. the guards at the side, the shape everything is all different.

JDM accord lights SiR-T/EuroR


USDM

Coming back from the dead...

Im guessing the answer is NO, but just to check w/you guys...

Will the SiR front bumper fit the 98-02 USDM front end...!? Just the bumper, keeping everything else the same...


Thanks...

Whole car is more narrow than the USDM model, would most likely have to add a couple of inches in the centre for starters.

No, the CF4 headlights will not fit the 6th Gen Accord. It will only fit the 5th Gen with modifications.

Not mine:









Some more:





Anything is possible if you put alot of money into it.
