would this fit?
I have a friend who crashed his 96 Accord Ex and he has those black headlights with projectors. I want to buy them off of him if they would fit in my 97 2.2. Do you think these would fit?

Totally different, you have to do a custom retrofit for projectors, or if you want those headlights, you have to change your bumper, fenders and maybe even cut your hood

I hear ya man, it has been done, but they chopped up the front end to make em fit, and they didn't look right, ruined the lines of the car. I looked into it too

they just dont fit right... looks like they stick out on the sides and something is making a HUGE gap between the bumper and hood... reminds me of a car with a body kit, just dosent fit right.

I'm sorry, Accord headlights will never match on a CL (IMO).

If you want Accord headlights, buy an Accord.
