96-96 GA-Civic Headlight Conversion

[Ghostgt]

Hey,im thinking about doing the Civic headlight conversion on my 98'GA.So I would like to know everything there is about the swap.Also any pics would be great.Trav

[Peyman]

make your own brackets, shave a bit of the front bumper and fender... all done :)

and wiring harness from a civic,other wise you'll be burning up wires,different voltage and wattage. Wes was telling about him going through a couple problems with that.

[ManktheTank19]

Its more work that you would imagine - the GA in that pic has done a lot of work to make those fit. I will be getting mine molded in soon and I need to get the wiring fixed.

[Ghostgt]

So what exactly is need to make them fit? Any fiberglassing and painting? Trav

[TA^Guy]

They just told you. Pay close attention to reply #2 and #4.

[Ghostgt]

Neither post specifically says what is all involved and what needs to be modified.I just want all the info i can get before i decide if i want to do this mod or not.Trav

[ManktheTank19]

- You need custom brackets to be made (the ones that come on the headlights needed to be removed)
- I mixed and match the stock wiring harness to fit the headlight requirements
- There is a corner spot that would be opened by the fender
- The hood won't cover the whole headlight.

What I am doin:
- Fixing the wiring configuration
- molding the headlights to the bumper
- filling the gap
- extending the hood

Lets see I gather I'll need to make my own brackets, and trim some of the bumper cover and fender to get them to fit. And if I want it to look like it's made for it I'll need to do some metal/or fiberglass work.

Custom stuff is custom because there are no specific instructions on how to do it.

Like S10 guys swapping to a Trailblazer frontend. 20 or so people that have done it have done it 20 different ways.

Alright i now know what i needed to make my decision.I am going to do it.Does anyone have any recommendations besides a junk yard for the wiring harness? Trav

[bp's97GAGT]

ebay....i can't remember the socket but it might be H7??? you can pick up the plug in harness for H7 bulbs on ebay and for the corners....I got mine off of a honda forum from a guy parting his civic.

[Ghostgt]

Thnaks for the info again.Btw what year of headlights and model do i need?Trav

[Peyman]

I BELIEVE ITS 92-95 civic headlights

im not a mini trucker either, stop acting like a rookie biotch.

[Trunks]

I may have to do this, just so I can get the angel eyes. I love the way angel eyes look in person. Been contemplating this for a while now, and still not sure if I want to do it

[Porteritojr]

What I did:

Cut on bumper for a close fit
Fill in both bumper and fender
On the wiring part all I did was cut and use original wiring (have not had a problem) I am even using an HID kit.

I'll take pics tomorrow

Money? Whats that? :shake:

[SE2000]

I cannot believe that someone asks for help and gets a lot of crap. If I were going to invest in something that would disable my car and cost a fair amount of money, and someone had already done this, why not ask for as much info as possible

I'm going to report you guys to the moderators if I can find one:lol: :lol:

[Ghostgt]
