I reckon they'd look nice along with some tinted windows

depends on how or what u do to achieve it. but they do look nice, since 9/10 civics have chrome surrounding on it.

Easiest way and most expensive is buying legit Ek9 head lights.

2nd would be ebay, but fitment is unknown, might be lucky if it fits with zero probs

3rd diy, though with this, u must take care in doin it, especially when it comes to re-sealing it up, so its water tight.

My honest opinion. Don't do it. Restore your headlights make look new. Black housings on dark car won't go well. I've got a green EM1 atm, thinking if i should get it or not but it just doesn't work out together.

Note that if you decide to go with the black housings on ebay, most of them will not have parker holes since America don't use them.

Keep OEM IMO. If your car was white I'd say sure, go black housing.

what you guys rekon?
Let me answer your question



The Truth is out there...

The Universe is bursting with life! But it's at the next density level,4th density and up,4D,which is the astral plane,the place we go when we dream.

We are at 3rd density,the physical plane.

There are many groups of 'alien' types who service the self STS or service to others STO at levels 4 and 6.5D is the place our true spirit goes after physical death,it is the contemplation zone a place of 'timeless understanding' where you have a range of emotions in profound clarity.

5th density is also called 'The soul recycling zone'.We review the physical life just passed and according to our 'karmic profile' we re-incarnate accordingly.We all have a 'karmic resonance profile'... can U think what that could be?

Anyway,all this nonsense will be over soon!

Soon A-itu (spirit) will once again be re-united with the one,the divine,our home as True spirited beings,7th Density.


1st and 2nd densitys are on the physical plane...

Buy OEM ek9 ones. Its the only way.

taiwanese ones are reallly bad. I've had a pair and its shocking

If i got a used EK instead of getting a new FK2 i would have bought a black EK then gotten some after market black projector housings for it so start the stealth look, then the tinting would have been next(would have gone for darkest legal tint) then would have gotten intergra type r looking rims in black as seen in pic, then would have lowered it a little.
