I'd go with the full gunmetal. Those look good. If you want the ones with amber you might as well save your money and just take apart your stock ones and paint them. That'll only be $20 at the most.

From a CB7 Owner, that doesn't know the trends with Civics, I'd say the black with amber.

But judging from the poll and the posts, CTR type lights are in?

I say this to all my friends, dare to be different.

Whichever ones you get, make sure you reseal them with some clear silicone.

Everyone has threads on how to clean your headlights, all those require hours of wet sanding and polishing. You can buy new headlights if you really need them. But this kit costs 20 bucks from Walmart, takes about 20 minutes to complete and will make and keep your headlights looking brand new.

Im assuming that you had to modify them to fit. I had a set of those and the bolt holes didnt line up and the base of the mirror itself was too long.

The fitment is great, just make sure you reseal them with clear silicon like mentioned above. Night illumination is just as good as stock headlights.

And for some reason if you don't like them, just remember you only paid under 100 for them.
