96 civic headlights [glare guard] are they removable?

 

You don't need to, it will fvck up your light pattern and blind oncoming drivers.

But to awnser your question, yes, it is removable.

Better response would be "Why do you feel it necessary to remove it?"

Save some money and get H.I.D's

 

i have civic type r headlights...same thing as normal headlights but i dont have any guards for the bulbs, they seem fine, i drove my friends car, and he drove my car and it didnt seem to affect anything.

it will not mess up your light pattern, it will make it better and it will definitely not blind anyone.

 

Why do you think they call them GLARE shields?

The keep down the glare, pushing the light back into the "kaleidoscope" of angled chrome, producing a light pattern. I have seen cars with no shileds, and they are bright as hell, and produce WAY too much glare to oncoming cars.

 

i had ctr's(comes with no glare shields) in my last 96 civic hatch and it was brighter but not enough to blind people. i had them for about 4 years before i wrecked my car.

i have never seen anyone flash me back, indicating it was bright enough to blind them. even then why would people at honda of japan not have them on ctr's if it blinded people?


maybe the lights were not aimed right or something. same with hid's in stock housing from the two that i have seen on cars that do not come with hid's in stock housings do not blind people also.

 

lets cee, first you remove them and throw them away, then a cop gives you a fix-it ticket and your stuck trying to find new ones

u tell the cop that their STOCK. thats what. i got pulled over in ontario, ca on a friday night. known as a street racing area on friday nights, and he asked me what are up with my headlights, (the lil bulb..mine are yellow, turn signal and the headlight) he didnt ask about my signals but he asked me what that lil yellow light was and i told him that was stock, then he looked at my headlights, and said what about those, i told him stock. and he walked away.

he wanted to give me a ticket for anything, but couldn't cuz my hatch was completly legal. by the way, he pulled me over because i stood out from all 25 cars i was driving with.


wasn't racing by the way so dont flame. ty

anyway got too carried away, they wont give u a fix it.

Yeah, this dude's right.

Not to mention, if you blind another driver and he smacks you...all he's g2 do is say he was blinded by your headlights - an inspection of your headlights (I don't care how smased the front of your car is) would quickly reveal that you were running an illegal headlight setup and then you'd be up ****'s creek - no insurance money, ur insurance will sky rocket b/c of hte liability damage done to his car...and you face tickets for wreckless endangerment as the headlights are DOT approved in their original state - not altered - without the glare guards. It shouldn't be too big of a deal if your running regular headlights, but if ur running HID's, get projectors or something... I mean on the stock headlights it shouldn't make a difference, but if u put xenon bulbs in there w/o the glare guards you're just asking for an accident or a ticket.

Whatever, it's your call.

BTW: If you do remove the glare guards (that are obviously there for a reason...honda testing, not "what you and your friend think") - I hope you ******* front end a cop car, that'll be irony at its greatest.
