Anyone know if the headlight housings are interchangeable?

It really blows a car so nice looking doesn't have that option

I wondered the same thing. If you look at the specs, the 2.4's come with HID's.

Honda's weird. They offer reflector based HID headlights on their foreign market cars that come equipped with halogen bulbs in America. You'd think with at least the Accord they'd offer the reflector based HID headlights.

Maybe the foreign standards aren't as strict for cutoff as the SAE/DOT standards are?

I love the people that buy the JDM ones though, they get the step in the opposite direction and all the glare goes into oncoming traffit

I wouls seriously consider the new Accord over the new Civic if the housings are compatible with each other

G7 Accord is 5x114.3

G8 I am not sure about. I doubt they'd have gone to 5x120 unless the G8 Accord comes with the air pressure sensors.

Why would they need to change the lug pattern for the tpms system?

The new Civics have TPMS, as well as the new Fits, and they retained the same bolt pattern. But now you can't use a lot of the older wheels
