interchangeable head light
 
I was wondering if any one has tried or knows if a one piece accord head light would fit in to a 98 cl. I ran across the one piece lights on ebay while my friend was looking for lights for his accord. The lights look very simiin shape to the cl. here is a link to see what they look like. Thanks

dun think so.

85% unlikely... or more like 93.5% unlikely.

they won't fit correctly but they should fit.

no..they wont fit without cutting your fender up..the part by the low beam is much more rounder than the CLs...one guy did it...and customized it to fit newer accord projectors....

Thanks for the info, saves me from wasting my money on a pair. My friend ended up buying a pair for his accord so when he gets them im going to see how much it will take to get them to fit into a cl. A friend of mine owns a local junk yard so ill run over there and try to fit them in to a cl so i dont chop up my own cl. If it works out ill take pics so any one else who wants to try it will have some idea of what they will need to modify.

has any modified a 9005 bulb to fit the 9006 slot, is so how long have you been using it that way and was there any damage to the wiring or housing...

yea, its possible, ive done it and so have many other people if you would search you would find that out. You have to trim down the two "lines" inside the plug housing and cut one of the tabs short.

Low97CL 08-28-2004 10:27 PM

but what i mean is will the wiring be burnt or the housing damaged
