Are there any differences in the taillight wiring harnesses? I own a 1998 Civic Ex Coupe. I recently bought some 99-00 taillights and put them on. However, the taillights on the trunk portion have to bulb sockets but the wiring harness has only 1 bulb. So basically when I turn on the headlights and step on teh brake, on the taillights on the corners light up and not the ones on the trunk, hence the missing bulb. I don't remember changing the wiring harness or not when I installed the Euros but that might've been the problem. The taillights on the corners are fine. I had Eurolights on there before but I prefer the more clean look now so I decided to get the 99-00 tails. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

If I remember correctly the wiring harnesses are different between the '96-'98 coupe taillights and the '99-'00 coupe taillights.

I inherited half (the inners) of a set of euro lights on a trunk I bought and it is missing sockets too, so that might be the problem.

I'd go check the extra set of '96-'98 taillights I uesd to have, but Zeller Automotive effictively stole them from me.

Yeah, I've seen the bumpers interchanged between the wrong year cars and it never fit right. They're about the samne size, but it doesn't look right.

does anyone have the part number to the tail light wiring harness? I'm having a bit of trouble with that.

 

[NOFX]

I posted the part numbers to all four harnesses ('98 coupe inner and outter harneses and '99 coupe inner and outter harnesses) in your other thread. Hope that helps.

Jay Jay is wrong

no the whole fronts are different it won;t line up unless you do a full front end conversion
wrong. it won;t bolt right up as stated ^^ above by jay jay

96-98 and 99-00 Civics will not bolt up. You will have to do whole front end swap. It will not line up.

Um... repeating that why?

Yes.

All '96-'00 COUPE REAR BUMPERS will fit all '96-'00 COUPES and SEDANS.

All '96-'00 SEDAN REAR BUMPERS will fit all '96-'00 SEDANS and COUPES.

All '96-'00 HATCH REAR BUMPERS will fit all '96-'00 HATCHES.

The only difference is the '99-'00 rear bumpers have a slight lip that juts out at the bottom of the bumper. The '96-'98 rear bumpers do not have this trait.

And core support.

I'm pretty sure we went over this long long long ago, many many many times.

We were talking about REAR bumpers.

FRONTS are completely different from the years ('96-'98 compared to '99-'00).

REARS are interechangeble between the years like I said before.

You sir, are the idiot. Learn to read.

Btw, you don't own an EK and it's certainly not an EK4. You own an EJ6, just liek every other '96-'00 Civic hatch made for the USDM market.

Rear panels? Which body style(s)?

Sedans have cushions on either side of it's rear seat, a sort of extension of the seat. Hatches and coupes have plastic panels that make up the sides of the car's interior.

Also, explain how they're different please.
