yo, i bought these dual halo projector headlights. i just want to know if i need to take off the front bumper just to get to the nuts under the headlights or not?! HALP! haha yeah yeah i'm a newbiee who cares. i'll show you my car picture =P
any of help would be great! thanks

2003 civic Ex
automatic (AT'S ARE GAY)
AEM intake ( haha )
dropped on skunk 2's (installed myself wasn't too hard)
stock rims until i get my Tenzo R - Drivex 7's
Sony xplod deck
2 12" JL w0's
600 watt amp

addition to the car ( soon to come )
new spoiler,
front lip
carbine fiber hood (has to be ViS)

 

you would be better off taking the bumper off since only a few bolts and clips hold it in and then u don't need to work about messing it up

 

hmmm. that's true. i'm also gonna ad a mugen lip to the front bumper. =P
but i wonder how i am going about taking off the bumper. [boggles my mind] haha

 

you do actually need to take the front bumper off to replace the headlights. Its really not hard at all though. Let me see if I can remember.
In each wheel well there is 1 philips screw that you need to remove. Then under the bumper there are some clips that can be removed with a flat head screw driver. Its been so long since I have worked on one of those cars, but I believe thats it. Just pull the bumper away.

 

if it's that simple to remove the front bumper then i wont' have to worry much. hehe. thanks for the info. i'll post up pics later when i install the headlights.

 

welp. headlights are in tomorrow. i'll post before and after pics as soon as the install is done. =P so yay!?

 

if its same as mine..(04civ obviously)


one philip screw above wheel/tire take that off on both sides where it comes together with the fender

then there are 10-12 clips on the bottom sideof the bumper, jus stick a flat head in and turn 1/4 turn and they should pop out then pull from the fender side out and toward the front of the car (get both sides loose before pulling off) then possibly have a friend to help you hold it or what not....

heres basically what you'll find underneath...
...yeah, its styrofoam, pretty shitty huh

 

hehe, it does look shitty haha. can't complain though. IT'S A HONDA. anyways. thanks chizzadd for the info and help. hopefully i don't *** anything up. haha. hopefully everything will be a breeze. i'll come back if anything new happens yet.

This foam is what keeps your car from doing any structural damage on collisions 5 MPH or slower. Thats why you see "5MPH Bumpers"

 

haha. structural damage. well that's true cause it saved my cousin's *** a few times and my friend who hit this women in the rear at 10 mph and nothing bad happened haha. but yeah. working on the installation of the headlights right now. i'll keep ya'll posted.

btw. i just started sooo NO PICTURES YET HAHA

 

what brand of projectors did you get? Hopefully TYC. Out of the number of sets I had, they were the best by far for my 01. Maybe companies have fixed theirs in the time that I havent had that car.

 

no prob man...jus do as i said in my post and its simple!!! realllllly simple! and there maybe 2 other snaps where your grill is holding that to the engine frame

but yeah..keep me posted man before and after pics yoo

 

the moment of truth. i only took 2 pics. a before and after. it wasn't hard at all. except for the clips at the bottom. they acted as if they were rusted. i just broke them off. i'll buy new ones when i install my front lipo . well here are the 2 pics.

Before


AFter



no. they're not TYC. i mean. these dont look bad at all. but the beam of the lights are WHACK! imma put the stocks back on tomorrow. &gt;_&lt; that's what you get for buying **** off ebay. hahaha. sorry for that blinding light. the flash did it. &gt;_&lt; .
well. the problem with these headlights. it's pointing too high. me and my cousin tried to emprovise by trying to make the projector point down some more. but it won't do. still high and there's like 6-8 beams pointing in different directions. so i wasted a good $150. on these headlights haha. anyways. thanks for all the help though guys. btw. WHERE CAN I GET THOSE TYCS?

 

looks nice..glad to see it worked out as i told you haha

but like you saiid...if they kinda suck im sorry, get those tyc's they're good


post up some pics of your friends car's that are in the background of the first pic..they look pretty nice (are those halos in the red car?)

ha not bad at all man....im not much of a fan of the 4drs but those are nice

you have an auto? so do i wasnt thinking at the time of purchase..

but yeah im thinking a k20a2 or 3 swap...or a dc5 with tranny swap we'll see how it goes

 

when i put halo projector on my 04 civic, the beams were way up in the air. i kept blinding anybody that was driving the other way. even got pulled over for it. to fix it, you have to take your bumper back off, take the headlight out, and adjust the little screw hole in it. it adjusts both brights and regular headlights. it is much better to drive it at night now. it was kind of a pain in the ***, but well worth it. try that before you throw them away.

 

also, when you adjust them, find a measuring point that you are at now, and just adjust them accordingly. when you recheck them, just put one screw in to hold them until you get them where you want em. then, when you thing you have it all good to go, bolt them back in but leave your bumper off and drive around the block or something and adjust accordingly
