i know there are no such thing as 1 peice black housing headlights for our 5th gens. but this what i was thinking. i buy those cheapo 1 peice halo headlights from somewhere and take off my exsisting stanley headlights. take off the casing on the halo 1 peice ones and put in the stanley ones. so in essence they sorta become a 1 peice headlight? anyone done this, would it work? thanks

 

I thought the JDM accord headlights, with the smoked housing were one piece?

 

The real ones are. The replicas arent. Correct me if im wrong.....

 

thats what i figured, yea.

 

The OBX versions are the 2 piece versions.

The real stanley ones in essence are also 2 piece, but a frame piece on the back of the housing holds both the corner lamp and headlight together giving off the idea that its one piece. You know whats a true one piece, the old japanese integra type R headlight housing.

 

the REAL JDM STANLEY ones are 1 peice, the one true 1 peice headlights that are out there for our 5th gens are the halo ricer ones. they made 1 peice ones for the 6th gens tho. so wut do u guys think.

 

Honda CF4 chasis (which is technically a 6th gen accord in JDM land) are one piece headlights. they fit our 5th gen accords with minor modification.

The JDM 5th gen headlights are like sumone described 2 piece but the corner light attaches to the frame to make it look like 1 piece in essence.

And no i highly doubt u'll be able to fit the oem headlights into the halo 1 piece projectors, not to mention it sounds like more work/headache than its worth. Just buy the cf4 headlights they go for about 250-300 bucks on ebay.

 

so wut mods are nessessary to fit the cf4

 

well speaking from experience, you need to take off the front bumper, i can assure you of that...there is a piece that attaches to the stock headlights that had to stay out of the car with the new headlight assembly. I installed mine maybe 5 years ago, so its been some time but be prepared to put a day aside to do these right, even though it might not take that long.

 

oh thanks man but i know, i installed my black housing headlight myself...i did take my a long *** time to realize i needed to remove the front bumper lol

 

yea man, i felt like an idiot, it took me a while to realize it 2...lol

 

havent u guys noticed everything is a lot harder on accords than any other cars....explames

to remove eg headlights u just unscrew like 5 screws thats it, for our accord u gotta remove the bumper and shyt

to remove dc/db integra fenders take off a couple screws and it pops off....for accords, you gotta remove the rocker panels (sideskirts) to remove the fenders

god dammit! haha

 

you have to remove the side skirts? Damn, i never thought you had to do that, thats interesting, those damn accords, nothing but trouble ya know...

does anyone know how to remove a press on rotor?

 

yeah trsut me....i took me twice as long as the headlights to figure out to remove the sideskirts, there is a bolt u have to unscrew right behind the sideskirt where it meets the fender, its a bitch....

 

lol, yea, there was even a piece we ended up leaving out, i dont remember what it was but it was attached to the lower portion of the headlights.

Anyone know how to take off the press-on rotors?

 

bumper removal takes 30 seconds if u don't do it like an idiot and try to remove the bumper off the bumper support.

Take off the lower bumper lights, look down and u'll see 2 bolts i think 14mm, holding the bumper support bracket, remove those two bolts on both sides and voila your bumper is off the car. (5th gen btw)

 

oh and of course the bolts off the fenders.
