I just bought some projector headlights for my FG2 and am having an issuse with taking the stock headlight assembley off. Can someone help me with the step by step to remove them.

 

Did you take off the bumper?

 

Nope. Didnt take off bumper. Was just wanting to know the steps before i got far into it. I work a lot of hours and dont have a day off so i dont have a lot of time to figure it out as i go. Didnt know if i had to take off fenders as well.

 

No, Fenders stay on.

You will have to remove the front bumper, and the black-plastic covering over the radiator, under the hood.

Depending on how handy you are, this could be a 1hr to 4 hour project.

I could probably do it in about 2hrs.

 

4 -pop tabs on the engine bay.. 2 on the fender.. 2 on the cooling plate
2 -allen screws by the grill
2 -phillips screws by the top corner of the wheel well--End of the bumper
7 -pop tabs on the bottom of the bumper. Take the ones that actually go to the bumper. Some go to the splash shield
2 -10 mm bolts.

There are 4 - 10mm bolts holding the headlight. 2 on top.. 1 on the side.. and 1 on the bottom. It holds the bumper bracket to the car. You will need a long extention to get to it. Should take you no more that 30 min.

 

if done right...give me 45 minutes

 

Thanks for the info. Now if it would only get warm enough to want to go outside and do it, that would be great.

 

It warmed up a little, was still raining didnt care at this point just wanted my HIDs on. here are the pics.

 

Nice! Where did you get these projectors from? I thought about retrofitting but don't wanna risk it.

 

I just got them from ebay. They were a HID high and low beam combo.

 

How's the spread look with the HIDs? Because I saw some eBay projectors on an ek and they didn't look good.

 

Its good, but for some reason when my lights are off the DRL light flashes and the high beams strobe, so when i drive i have to have the low beams on. I dont know what the f*ck is up with that. Its not suppose to strobe.

 

Props for installing them yourself, weren't that hard to do, were they?

But damn, those rims are just plain ugly on a Civic

 

Well..some people love em, some people hate em. I've heard both sides. I just havent seen a pair of 18's that i like yet. I like the black rims but everyone seems to have the crome lip. The more i see it, the more it just looks...eehhh.
