I am not quite sure what you are talking about. You dont need to remove that to install those STUPID tail lights that will most likely fog up and already make your car look like CRAP.

But if YOU MUST ruin your car then they are a direct replacement. When you open your trunk there are bolts holding the nicelooking stock tails in place. Just remove those and remove the harnesses and replace them with those HORRID tails you bought...

...another faggy ricer spending money to be like everybody else :disappoin

Haha that was a little more blunt then what I was going for :D

Well from what I have seen most civics have the clear headlights and the original taillights, is that the way to go?

clear headlights? or do you mean hyperwhite or something.. Sylvania Silverstar or PIAA headlight bulbs, and stock tail lights are the non-ricey way to go man. Please don't jump on the altezza bandwagon that we've all grown to hate. If you want to hook up your tails to look better than altezzas you could buy a can of Nightshads blackout spray and spray the red part of them black. It's a transparent black spray, dark at day and light shines through at night.

If i see you with taillights i will sound your stereo out with by BOV and talk alot of shit to you in frot of thaty girl in the passenger seat lol...basically meaning PLEASE dont make me do that..those tails are one of the reason people dont take import enthusiasts seriously..its up to you in the long run..but i think you know where we stand

Wow its amazing to me, I havent posted here in forever and when I last posted not that long ago, I was getting flamed for making fun of people with Altezzas.

Is there a revolution going on?

Gee, I didnt know that so many of you guys hated those clear euro taillights. I guess I'll just go with the clear headlights then, and yeah I mean the hyperwhite lights or projections lights. Now sure what they call them, but thanks for the feedback.

But no one has answered my question, can I remove the middle black panel between the taillights?

NO WE HATE THOSE TO!!

Projector Heads SUCK.

Now what black panel are you talking about? On the outside that holds your license plate?

Yeah it comes off but it doesnt do anything...

hmm i've never heard anyone complain about projectors before... as a matter of fact many members have them... and if you hate projectors so much i guess you also hate many new cars... cuz thats about all you'll get nowadays on a vehicle. cept for HID but even HID still uses about the same style houseing as projectors.

Projectors on a civic look stupid. It looks like little aliens sticking out of the headlights.

I think my HIDS look fine and they dont use projectirs :rolleyes:

You dont NEED projectors for HIDs thats a common misconception. If you purchases a plug and play kit with built in shields you dont need the projector...

My car looks stupid :confused:

Yes, it looks like it is going to attack me and try to do experiments on my ass...

You dont think that looks stupid huh? Like the BUG EYE look when its not supposed to be there? It doesnt fit the contour of the car at ALL

They do kinda look like bugeyes I guess, but I've only seen one other Civic in the entire city of Columbus with them. Everybody always compliments me on how good they look, and I like them too, so originality + good looks sounds cool with me... but I'd still rather have some nice ctr headlights above anything, no matter how many other people already have them.

Just paint your OEM ones.

i never said you needed projectors to have HID? all I meant was that any new car from like 98 on has what i refer to as projector style lights just like the ones in the picture above... clear lens, reflective housing, and a bulb... that is a projector. as opposed to the older style lights which have an opaque lens. HID still uses this clear lens and reflective housing just a differnt bulb and stuff....


OH and ricochets car looks badass, one of the best looking civics i have ever seen, and that includes the headlights.

thanks :)
But there are 6.8 billion people on the planet, and there will always be 6.8 billion different opinions.

Well Ricochet, I think your car looks fine, lol. Plus, if someone is going for the dark look with a car (and/or doesn't have a 6th gen where CTR headlights are possible) then projectors can help round out the clean dark look of the car. I get the impression that's the reason they are on your car, to complete the clean dark lines of the front side of your car. Everything kind of flows together, versus having a chrome housed headlight which stands out against the black paint. Anyways, that's my impressions, and I think your civic looks good. I think the front profile.

I have a friend that has all blacked out on his car. We just painted his OEM housing BLACK and it looks a thousand times better then the projectors but to each his own. It was a lot cheaper too ;)

Ok since alot if not all of you are against the euro clear tailights, then I guess I'll keep the stock lights on there, but can I still exchange the middle black panel to the red reflector or to a newer civic?

Okay, maybe I just forgot...but what is the middle black panel you are refering too...the stock tailights don't have a middle black panel..maybe I'm just confused...explain what it is you are talking about.
