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

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.
