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

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.

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.
