Default SEARCHED: 96-98 Headlight Fitment

I have a 96 HX. The headlamps are faded as hell, and I have the opportunity to get a set from an 00 Si for cheap.

The question of the day is, will 99-00 headlights fit a 96-98?

It seems like they would, but I just want to make sure.

Nope, grille, headlights, bumper, hood, fenders are all different. I thought the same when I bought my 97 EX, if I woulda known I'd have to change all that I woulda just got a 00 SI in the first place...oh well.

The hoods are different too?!

That sucks. I thought I found one.

My hood has some hail damage from where the previous owner was parked outside.

I'm just waiting to hit a deer or something and get comprehensive to cover it. If anyone knows where to get a hood for a 96-98 Red Civic in the midwest (a long shot), let me know.

This is correct. Honestly, if I had a 96-96, I'd do the 99-00 front end conversion, it looks a lot cleaner, and you get the Si grill.
