yes i already searched, i'm doing the opposite of the common swap,

My friends has a 04 Sedan, and stangely enough, he doesnt like his tail lights, I have a 01, i hate mine, he wants to swap.
I know they will fit but i'm wondering about the plugs

Will the Tail lights from a 2001 Sedan, plug right into a 2004 Sedan without having to change the plugs or cut any wires?

I dont care if i have to cut anything in my 01, but i dont want to have to do anything with his.


Thanks in advance

 

Decent conversion with pics here: http://www.civicforums.com/forums/10...onversion.html

 

thats for a Coupe, from what i've read the sedan is different and required the removal of the bumper.
That i dont mind, but i dont want to have to cut anything in my friends 04 civic. Will my 2001 sedan tail lights plug directly into the 2004 without having to cut or change anything?

 

Pull one off the '01 and try installing it on the '04. It'll either fit without modification, or it won't. It should only take a few minutes to try.

 

I guess i'll have too.
Can anyone confirm if i have to remove the bumper or not. i read on civic forums that i do but i cant see a reason why.

 

Never Mind Lock this up.
The Bumper does indeed need to be removed to take out the tail lights, the tails have a mounting tab on them and supports the corner of the bumper, you need to take 2 screws out of the tab to remove the lenses and you cant do that without first removing the bumper.

And there is cutting involved, i need to cut his turn signal plug off, as well as mine, and swap the 2 over, splice the wires back together and everything else is easy
