I have a 97 civic coupe and need new headlights want to keep it OEM, I found a used pair of OEM headlights from a guy online but he lives in the UK. would the headlights fit my car? his car is the same generation of mine and pre facelift. they look like they would fit just dont want to pay shipping to find out they wont work. anyone?

 

They'll fit but they'll point the wrong direction since they're for RHD cars and not only will other drivers hate you due to glare, you'll hate yourself because the headlights are by design aimed wrong for LHD cars/roads and therefore their ability to light up the road ahead is worse than what you've got now. Get some EDM LHD ones like from Germany (check ebay.de).

Technically EDM headlights aren't DOT approved for use on public roads in USA (OK for use in Canada), but I doubt anyone will ever check.

 

good info thank you does this apply for jdm ctr headlights to because its RHD? essentially I need LHD headlight correct?

thanks

 

Exactly

 

JDM = RHD, so yes. Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Greenland, Iceland ..... etc etc. Get some from any of these LHD countries that use Euro-spec headlamps.
