Nice Job! Where in Westchester are you? I'm near Playland

Here is a little advice:

I just finished doing this on my sedan and it took me 2.5 hours. However, the housing for the lights is nothing similar to the coupe and I tore that shit up just trying to disassemble it. So there is your word of warning fellow sedan owners.

i was around rye the other day fishing off some pier lol

Thanks, I think I'm gonna try this with slostjoe. Maybe me and him can get a good result.

Guys, do you know if same chrome/amber bulb fits 4Door Civic?
If anyone has done same DIY on 4 Door Civic could you let me know where you have got the bulbs for it?

[Mitrofan]

I know there are many hard-core pros here but for those people like me who might have same question or just to avoid confusion in future here is what I have diged out:

2 DOOR AND 4 DOOR take different bulbs for front turn signals

2 door takes 3457LL which is equivalent to 3157 from autolumination.com.

4 door takes 7528 (I am looking for a place to get something decent right now).

P.S. Very usefull website

what kinda seal you guys use...cause the one i used sucked...its sealed..but it sux..and i forgot to take out that orange ring thing..so ima have to do it again..cause i dont like it...what kinda seal should i use??

[Zeuceone]

i used this black silicon sealent from the autoparts store

[RiceEater]

was it good? any problems? easy to apply?

[Zeuceone]

it worked for me. it comes with a tip that you can cut to the size you need so its easy to apply.

[RiceEater]

thanx man..repped ya!

if anyone that cleared their si headlights and still has the amber rings around the high beams (not the turn signal corner), i will buy it from you

[Mitrofan]

Here is the bulb you need for 4Door civic

From Sylvania website you need 7528
http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...RG-Results.htm

The equivalent to it from "autolumination" is 1157 Dual circuit bulb (for BAY15D receptacle)
http://autolumination.com/1156_1157.htm

Therefore, you can go 2 ways
1) The Chrome/Amber bulb wich costs 2.99 (with blue BMW on picture)
or
2) Switchback which costs 25.00 and does not look really nice on car during daylight but what make it cool that in the evening it runs with white light and amber turns on when you turn only.

Hope it helps anyone who wants to use this awesome DIY.

P.S. I would have to redo the job partially because I have bought the wrong bulb; at lest I know I would have to remove the bumper at least.

i was wondering is it legal to clear the headlights? instead of the oem orange color, will clearing the lights get you pulled over or no?

[Doug]

not if you have amber bulbs

It depends on the state. Check local laws and statutes prior, if you have any doubts.
