Mods feel free to move if in the wrong thread..

Ive recently purchased some projectors for my 92 eg8 civ sedan and they arent fitting in properly. They are popping out and they have a big gap in between the fender and the turn signal. Is this because they are for a hatch or is it just the frame of the front?

And if possible what can i do to fit them in properly?

Oh and the brand of the projectors are SONAR.

Here are some pics of the headlights.

 

Did you buy those off of Ebay?

 

Just get rid of them while you can

 

no i got them 2nd hand off a friend. The old owner only had them on for 2 months and he said it came from a 92 civ sedan

 

Has your hatch bein in a front end accident in the past??

 

oh sorry. i have a sedan. but it looks like it has been in a crash. front frame looks like its been hammered round. just got it a few weeks ago so im not too sure what the old owner has done with it

 

Coupes and Hatches have different hoods, fenders, doors, headlights, bumpers, and turn signals than the Sedans.

So short answer, "You bought the wrong part"

No. Read the thread, and you'll realize that he got them secondhand from a friend with a sedan. So he didn't buy any wrong part.

@ thread op: All I can suggest is that you get rid of them or sell them for some cash on Craigslist/eBay. If you're really set on getting projectors, then you should probably fix your front end so that your headlights (aftermarket or OEM).

Oh yeah, did your OEM headlights (or whatever you had before) fit correctly?

 

Your proboley haveing fitment problems due to the accident.And since they did not replace your radiator support they just hammered it out. it happen's had the same issue on a 98 DX front end damage the stock headlight's never lined up perfect.

 

That looks like the kinda gap from having coupe one piece headlights on a sedan...

 

the stocks i had before fit but had a bit of gap but not as big as this one..

but i talked to the previous owner and he said try loosening some bolts because it looked like the car did just get hammered..

ill probably get my front end repanelled so theyll fit properly..or just do some DIY panelling hehehe

dude how good of a friend im almost 100% positive those r from a coupe or hatch jus because the only difference between coupe hatch headlight and sedan headlight r the corner lights the sedans are slightly bigger with that y u got that gap trust me

 

well you friend bought the coupes headlights cuz the four doors have and another socket toward the middle of the hood, look it up on ebay,

 

ayts thanks for all the inputs peoples..ill be changing my headlights and buying some new ones from ebay..sounds abit smarter than DIYing the car and wrecking it..thanks again
