Hello all,

Hope everyone had a safe holiday! I am about to head out to work. However, I need to replace one of my corner lamps. I would assume upgrade to the 1 piece projectors while i'm at it. (JDM Black Housing w/clear corners) but I can't seem to find any decent ones, IE TYC, DEPO, ECT. do they make a 1piece jdm style black housing + (Clear or amber) corners and to specify, I do mean that the corner lights and headlights are one housing.... I have a 1992 civic sedan (4dr) please offer insight from experience only. as I would like to get ones that are of similar quality to OEM. thanks in advance.

Regards,

Schecter

 

I have installed one piece lights from TYC, although good quality, they didn't line up as perfect as I wanted. The best fit IMO would be to stick with the two piece. Do an amber corner and OEM headlight, that is the best look IMO. Second best would be black headlight and black corner.

 

cool, i had a felling. however, i have considered doing a conversion on the front (hood, bumper cover, fenders) from an HB or coupe. just cause it seems that after market lights ect. look better and line up great on anything except the sedan.... what do you think? is it an optical illusion? are the peopler with the accessories that fit and look great just spending tons of money for the parts and they happen to own coupe's?? or do you just have to spend tons of money to make anything except OEM look good?

 

There was no such thing as JDM black housing head lights for EG's.


Get the OEM clears and call it a day.

 

I'm sure all the Japanese kids call them USDM black housing headlights. haha.

 

mine is an lx, not an eg. However, thanks for the info. I didn't know there was no such option. Thanks guys. BTW the japanese kids thing was funny, thanks for the laugh lol.

 

eg is ur body style. the eg body style was made from 92 to 95
the lx is just the model of ur car which dictates the accessories u might have

 

If you want to get technical "EG" is a reference to the generation, not body style. Body style would be coupe, hatch, sedan, wagon, etc.

Granted many US cars aren't true EGs, as many of us know. Your chassis code (which "EG" is part of a chassis code) is your fourth, fifth and sixth VIN digits.

 

too technical.. lol

 

i love when NOFX gets all technical.

 

I love it! I didn't know that, as it hasn't really been necessary info for me as of yet. I'm a fabricator/welding/ase (and a DIY'er) mechanic. so my approach to everything is; Lets see what i can do, , Got'er'DID. ( as in it's finished) lol. but I am very open minded and love to learn new things, especially about my baby! thanks for the info guys, $hit let's keep it goin, any other "technical" info for me?

 

thanks for the clarification nofx
