2008 Honda Civic LX 4DR - Rear Lights Questions
Hello,
My dad bought this 08 Civic LX, and wants to ship it off to Europe, as they're moving back, though the rear lights on these models don't have ORANGE blinkers, and these are required there.
We've tried a dealer, he wasn't very useful, I've tried numerous sites and they only have stock replacement or aftermarket lights for the coupe models, we have also looked into acquiring them from Europe version of the same year Civic, but unfortunately the 08 Civic LX's rear is totally different from the US model.
What I'm looking for are the rear driver and passenger lights, they can even be clear but the stopping lights/bulb needs to be RED and Blinker lights/bulb has to be ORANGE, I've looked everywhere with no luck, if anyone of you know of the Website that may carry these and could post it up, I'd be really grateful.

the only way you're going to be able to do what you wanna do is convert the whole rear end to the european version.

Get a hammer and knock out the housing where the blinkers need to be orange. Place an orange bulb in there, and you're good to go.
