Default JDM dc2 headlights on my 97 ACCORD 4dr???

Are the headlights on the JDM integra the same as the headlights on my cd??? I read a article in HT i believe that had a wide-body Candy apple red integra with the JDM conversion on, and it mentioned that he had done an accord headlight swap for the same look! I was just wandering if i could get the lights to fit, but i didnt want to spend a couple hundred to find out they wont! I like the the teg lights because alot of them have the single projector and a high beam and a low beam, i havnt been able to find that style for the accord. any help is great, thnx


SUMMARY: will they fit?? do they have the same mounting spots? same light??

anything is possible with time and money but probably close to 1000 or more to get it to work

They are longer and skinnier.

I have an accord and my friend has type r with a jdm front, the headlights aren't the same.

In order for it to fit you would have to have custom body work, which would probably be expensive, and not worth it.

Use the Accord JDM headlights and do a projector retrofit, it will give you close to the same look.
