I bought a 2000 Civic Si that has a full wire tuck and shaved bay. The dumb *** that tucked the wires for the headlights didnt secure the harness and the tire rubbed it so bad that the wires broke, twisted and melted. What I want to know is this....


Will a 96-98 headlight harness work on a 99-00 civic. If you are not sure what harness Im talking about its # 7 in the picture. This is the harness with the winshield wiper plug, headlight plug, blinker plug ect.




Here is the bay

 

YES THEY FIT ONLY YOU HAVE TO ADAPT ONE PLUG ON THE DRIVER SIDE

 

Okay more info would help.

 

yes it will, i dont know about adapting the plug, as they are bascily the same thing,
what that thing that looks like its coming off the dip stick??

 

anyone else out there know thing?



The dip stick has some custom bullshit that has been taken off now. I hate the color of the car. But got it for $2k. So I have money left over to paint this back to EBP. I just want to fix everything right while the car will be apart.

 

I don't know on the wiring harness..but the upper radiator hose seems to be from a GSR, B16A, etc?

If you get an LS upper hose it will get that other bend by the air filter out. I know it doesn't look kinked or anything and obviously it isn't or you would be having overheating issues but it would look better.

 

Stay on topic.

 

You said you wanted everything right. I suggested chaning the upper rad. hose. Sorry if I busted your bubble but that top rad. hose looks like **** when the rest of the bay looks good.

 

The current harness is past fixing? Running new wires shouldnt be to bad, although with out pics of the current harness its hard to make that conclusion.

 

lol

 

Wasnt asking for your opinion on the hose. I have bigger issues than a hose. Thanks for your response's. But Im tring to start where the major problems are first.

 

harness should be the same ..just get it at a junkyard from a 99-00 civic

 

he's got an LS in there. that's why the hose is different.

 

I bought a new one harness. I installed it today and as soon as I turn the head lights on it Pops all Light Fuses under the dash and fuse box. Before I didnt have any headlights, parking lights, blinkers or dash lights but the brake lights worked. Going to replace the fuses but not sure where to look for the problem. Anyone have any ideas?

 

there isn't a loose wire touching somewhere inside the fender is there?

 

I took the fenders off and the bumper. The harness was New from honda. No wires are loose, cut, or grounding out any where. Im totally stumped.

 

that is really confusing then, so were you able to drive the car before the wires and everything messed up?? or did you get it after all this happened?

 

I bought the car with the wiring problems. Ive been driving it during the day.

 

You have a short somewhere plain and simple. What a PITA to track down too.

 

WOW

 

I wonder why I cant have power to my headlights

 

You should punch the person you bought it from in the face for being an idiot. It seriously would have taken 5 sec to zip tie that to prevent that whole mess.

 

hole **** the harness is ****ed up!!
id re do the hole damn thing.
after you punch the person you bought it from.

 

I will need to replace the dash harness as well. Its fried. I will post pix after I get it out.

 

wow, what a cluster ***
