It looks like I'm going to be buying my youngest daughter an '02 Accord Coupe in the next few days. My older daughter already has an '02 Accord Sedan, that we bought new, then gave her 2 years ago.

The headlights on the coupe are very hazy. I know that I can polish the headlights, and get them to look almost new. My plan was, though, to put some newer headlights on the coupe, and take the headlights from the coupe and polish them, then put them on the older daughter's car.

I've been looking at headlights on both Ebay and Craigslist, and I see that some sellers list the headlights as being for a 98-02 Accord, for 98-00 Accords, and lastly for 01-02 Accords. Honda lists different part numbers for the 98-00 lights (suffix ending in A01) and the 01-02 lights (suffix ending in A02). Can I use the 98-00 headlights on an '02? What are the differences between the years, besides the black housing for the 98-00, and the gray housing for the 01-02?

Thanks for any help!

 

There's no difference in the way they mount, they are all the same. The taillights are the same as well, but the newer taillights are uglier (in my opinion).

 

All headlight fitment is the same, but taillights are going to differ when it comes to 2dr or 4dr. That is obvious however.
