- Alrighty, i finally got some free time and i got to do a bunch of work done on my headlights yesterday, and a lil' today !
heres what i did so far :
1) removed front bumper, radiator, and fan.
2) removed fenders
3) removed stock headlights
PIX EXPLAIN BELOW:
Heres the front w/out bumper, radiator, fan, and headlights.

Different angle .. i didnt think bout gettin pix earlier, but the maroon/burgandy-ish metal that surrounds inner light, is cut out later
http://www.geocities.com/civic4g4d/2nd.jpg
heres both the lights, metal cut out, bolted in. Had to cut inner metal around light out so that the light could extend and fit in the car w/out haning out.
http://www.geocities.com/civic4g4d/install1.jpg
Heres an angle shot, and idea of how well these fit fenders already
http://www.geocities.com/civic4g4d/install2.jpg
Heres a pic of the hood modified the first time (the left) cut out to fit the light.
http://www.geocities.com/civic4g4d/install3.jpg
See how well the head light fits fender ? made me happy, less work for me :smoker:

Front view, and flash from cam made it look neat too ! :)
http://www.geocities.com/civic4g4d/install6.jpg
Hood was modified so it wouldnt crack my head light when i put it down :rolleyes: , i measured it, and made sure not to cut too much. . so i cut less than what was needed.. cuz u can always cut more.. but u cant get more metal on there ( u could , but alot more work )
http://www.geocities.com/civic4g4d/install7.jpg
I cut the other side of hood for my light to see how close i am, and how much more i need to cut. Hows it look ?
http://www.geocities.com/civic4g4d/install8.jpg
Closer view, and i only need to cut bout 3/8 inch more to be perfect :D , and i got a cool "H" on my hood to rep.
http://www.geocities.com/civic4g4d/install9.jpg
This is view from under hood jus so u know what i cut out.. both sides are 3/8 inch from being perfect. Then i can add the new mounts for radiator so i can put them back on. After that, i'll touch it up w/ fillin up gaps in fender and hood w/ fiber glass. Then i still need wire kit for the headlights.. theres soo many bulbs, gotta spend some $ on wire for accord lights :bloated:
http://www.geocities.com/civic4g4d/install10.jpg
------------- i got some Stock headlights for sale now, and corner lights ( also stock. 1 corner light is missin slide in slot under it to connect it. But headlights are good.
Tell me what you guys think ! Just wanted to show u guys my work and maybe some ideas. :)

i know the feeling, i'm somwhere round 90% i think
i might try out anglefire and see if they give better service
