EG headlights... urgent help wanted

[EGB16A]

i'm fitting angel eye headlights at the moment. any one know if the hatch and sedan lights are the same?

[bennjamin]

the bumper , fenders and bonnet of hatches and sedans are slightly different dimensions - so im going to go with NO they are not the (exact) same.


someone know for sure ?

[EGB16A]

catalogue says fits 3&4 door, there is a masive gap with mine. They are the JDM style one piece ones... most people should know em

[timmya2]

the angel eyes can be fitted to sedan and hatches, but NOT the tailights.

[tommi]

massive gap between bottom of head light and front bumper? I had that problem when i put in mine, so just bought some rubber strips and put it in between the gap. I still notice it's there, but most peole don't notice it unless I point it out to them so it's not so bad i guess.

im waiting for my projector headlights too from ebay, says fits 2,3dr,4dr.. If its just the headlight housing itself then it should fit, if it has the blinkers with it then theres a size difference, coz sedan blinkers are slightly longer than the hatches..

[aimre]

if i had a penny for everytime this question was asked

[destrukshn]

yeah, the signal lamps are different, i'm pretty sure all of em have gaps.
i've had other sets of angel eyes, and they all had gaps.
nothing major i reckon, but i guess it still gets on your nerves.
like 'tommi' said, get rubber strips.

yeh the corner lights are different..

[sivic]

both corners and main part are diff. hatch are smaller. the one piece angel eyes only come in one size so you will have to use rubber strips. off to clark rubber!
with the 2 piece ones you can get sedan specific corners to match

the one piece ones are made to fit the hatch. i fitted a set onto a friends last week.
and they will fit the sedan but there will be a gap between the indicator and the fender. BUT you should be supplied with shaped rubber bits to fill this gap. i know the set i fitted came with these.

[tRipitaka]

hatchback headlights are different to sedan headlights.

[BoneZee®]

they will not fit!

This true...Coz i was given 4 door ones for my hatch.

THEY DON'T BLOODY FIT:!: :!: :!:

With out major mods!

[sivic]

one piece ones to fit sedan? or just hatch ones with rubber strips on them?

but yeah the factory lights are diff between hatch and sedan

[destrukshn]

headlights are the SAME.
signal lamps are different.

Listen to this guy.. i had the same problem till i bought rubbler strips :thumbsup:

[sivic]

where exactly is the gap?

i'm almost positive the one piece ones only come in one size. but if not there is no way you have got sedan ones if you have a gap on a hatch.
there shouldnt be a huge gap though. has your car been in an accident at all in the past? cos that can put the panels and mounting points out a bit to create a gap.
but it looks like you'll just have to use some rubber. also, dont be afraid to use a bit of force to get them in. sometimes they just need to be pushed in a little harder. dont worry, the mounting brackets on the lights are pretty flexible.

pics of my car are in both the cruise to palm beach and in the appearance gallery with the angel eyes fitted

[dmdcivic]

fits like a dream , I've got hatch headlights for my sedan

[sivic]

i can see a bit of a gap above left indicator and above right headlight. this looks pretty normal the gap above your right headlight would lessen if your bonnet was on straighter. its slightly to the left and therefore coming down more on your left headlight. just get some thin rubber to fill the gaps. pretty sure there is meant to be a little gap otherwise you can risk slamming your bonnet straight onto your headlights, then crack
