DIY - Honda Light install

[dah_hunter]

So are you ready to Install Honda Accord Lights so your car will be All DOT and Legal..
I know we aren’t, but ICBC wants us to.. so here we go.

First the car in its Original State.





These Stockers got to go. :?



Honda Accord Lights FTW…. NOT Ugh..







First remove the Battery!!





Then Take out the Side Marker Lights



Behind Each Side marker there is 2 Bolts.



The the Last Nuts holding the Headlights on.
(Right Side) (Hard to get Actual Pics of them)





(Left Side) (This is the Annoying side)
They are Both Behind the Charcoal Canister, So do whatever works, I normally bend the Shiz out of the Mount..




And now the lights should slide or pop out.. Be Gentle.,





Both Lights now out. YaY





On Chris’s car his Veilside Front bumper wasn’t happy with the Accord lights so we had to take it off,.







Honda Lights in (Just have to Tap some Mounting Holes in the Rad Support)



Bumper Now Back on and Fitting Nice.. (A couple gaps but Veilside never made the bumper with Honda lights in Mind! GEEZE!!!)

[dah_hunter]

Ya they gets around..
LoL

did ICBC ever consider that if these headlamps(I'm not talking abut your in particular BTW) were installed just a bit wrong they could blind incoming traffic... (which is not even an issue with stock headlights?)

the police here in quebec are starting to cracked down on "dangerous:hit newb: " headlights.

however it doesn't say in OUR legislation that DOT ARE required... just that it need to conform to the established norm... yes quite vague haha

and thanks for the DIY!

it might soon be needed here in Qc...

[dah_hunter]

Ya the Funny thing is.. all they want is for them to turn on..
Aiming has nothing to do with it..
Crazy hey..,
LoL

Umm, I cannot confirm nor deny...

accord lights = uke:

my bumper doesn't fit properly with the accord lights. Had to zap strap it...I don't see how its safer...seriously. What a waste of time.

but the markers are hawt...

[JzGarage]

Oh well its DOT but hey at least we now stock HB4 and HB3 HID Kits for the accord lights!!!


6000k, 4300K and 8000K!

Good writeup, but I have to say the accord headlights look WICKED on my car and I will be doing a projector conversion on the unit to get proper HID's.

Should look nice But I wish I still had stockers.

Let me get this straight you don't have to keep the lights after it passes DOT inspection?I havent seen many posts on what is required for DOT inspections. Because those lights look utterly terrible. Can you go pick and pull 94 accord headlights that are in utter **** condition and get it inspected? Does this apply to side markers too? Can you just double sided tape some side markers and run the wire straight to the tail light and tear them off after without having to mark up your body?

That is what most people do.

did u have to hammer down or cut the front bumper support where the headlights are suppose to sit?

[dah_hunter]

Nope..

they will fit..

you jsut have to jam them in..

sometimes its a pain..

[martinr_zx440]

[dah_hunter]

ya they never have the right alignment.. well i never bothered to align them right..
