Default headlight conversions?

Just curious to know if anyone tried to or has done the 92-95 headlight conversion on a 88-91 civic?

It all depends on how good of a job you want. You can hack the front-end on using your stock hood, fenders and bumper or you can do it right and get the whole front-end off an eg and splice it in to your ef.

got it on my rex



People down here like it, but I get flamed on the board lol
The stock hood was molded with fiberglass
The fenders are sheetmetal

I wanted to try and use an EG CF hood and mod some EG fenders to fit.

I've seen it done with a 97+ prelude font end on a EF hb, a 99si front end on a CRX, a DA front end on a CRX, a DC front end on a EF hb.

I could of sworn I saw a 90-93 accord front end on a EF hb too.. cant confirm it though.

hmm I've never seen it done on a hatch before. I always thought it matched the crx body better because it's more rounded. It's not too hard of an install if you're good with fiberglass n bondo.

Can anyone tell me how to install the 92-95 headlights onto the 4th gen civic/crx... Does it just bolt to the stock points?... i know you have to modify the hood but what about the mounting points?

you're going to have to make your own brackets to hold in the lights. NONE of the stock ones will work. Also the brackets on the EG lights need to be cut off in order to fit.
