98 Accord Headlights

I want my hatch to stand out and be different. I want to do put 98 accord headlights on it and have the factory accord bumper on as well as a carbon fiber lip. Could you tell me what I need so I could better understand how to make my car look the way I want? I know I have to cut my fenders fit the accord corners in, so to remedy that problem of having gaps in between also plan on adding feelz widebody panels.

The accord lights are too big for the 88-91 civic/crxs, it will end up looking gay - trust me i looked into it.

I looked at almost every headlight that I could fit on my CRX, (BMW, Dodge, Toyota, Lexus, every honda, plus more), and the ones that will look the best are 92 civic tyc projector headlights. You can find them on eBay all the time. These are what I'm using.

If you want to do a headlight conversion, be prepared to do MASSIVE planning, or it will end up looking retarded. If you can't draw, or can't use photoshop, then either learn, don't do it, or have a retarded looking car...

You will have to do serious modifications to the hood aswell. I'm actually using my hood as a starting point for a fiberglass mold, and then laying fiberglass on the hood (mold) to make a new hood that will be fiberglass (lightweight).

You should know every inch of the car's curves, and you should have a concept drawing of the whole thing.

If you rip off the stock headlights, cut out steel to make room, attach the new headlights, and fill in around the new lights with glass/cheese/steel, it will look like shit. I've seen it done a million times.

..a headlight/taillight conversion is not really something you can ask about..you pretty much just have to start tackling it and do it b/c there is really no set way to do it..
