SIK, got them through ebay but a top rated seller, I did some research first on them, they deal in head light/tail light & marker lights, Iooked through all of their feedback & decided what the hell, I have 10 days to return if they don't meet my standards.
I'm sorry I should have said OEM style, my bad.
ha its ok, i didnt mean it in a d**k way. just i got excited cause i want some oem headlights and that was a cheap price lol
They look good don't they?
yeah they look oem, but they will get moisture in them unless you take them apart right away and make sure you seal them perfectly. ugh i wish i would of bought them instead of black housing, im changing the color of my car and now i gotta get chrome. I just got them too, ugh
The passenger side halo on my car now has it bad with moisture, I will make sure these new ones are all sealed up before I install them, I'm going to repair the halos & sell them, what do you guys think about eyelids for the head lights, are they play out?
Here is some more pics, I figured I better take some before pics of the engine bay so if I get some stuff done under the hood you might be able to notice.
New calipers & rotors, nothing too special but new
Old wavey rotors
So that's what Ihave been up to today, a little more progress, I might have narrowed down my radio issue as well, just need a new ELD.

ah bay needs lots of work lol but i say no eyelids
I may also need to get new rotors, but I for sure need new brake pads. Those should be done soon because I don't want my brakes failing!Here is some more pics, I figured I better take some before pics of the engine bay so if I get some stuff done under the hood you might be able to notice.

I for some reason like your rims... maybe because before I got into the civic scene I was into the truck/suv scene where they're all about black and big chrome.
as far as your engine bay, take $10 and buy some purple power degreaser and a can of spray paint, clean up everything and paint your valve cover and it will look 10x better and then take pics because I want to do it as well lol. But at least your valve cover HAS paint lol mines all bare and naked looking

tuck it! im so glad i did mine. it looks so much better and is actually easier to find out whats wrong. you know where EVERYTHING is
I will change out the rims later but for now they have new rubber on them so I want to wear them down a bit first, got the purple power degreaser but it's raining now so I'll have to wait, valve cover needs to be sandblasted then I'll paint it or have it powder coated black or blue, not sure yet, today I picked up 3 ELD's to test & see if it fixes my power issues, that means I have extras so I'll give you one if you still have problems with yours, got them free, the junkyard didn't want to charge me because I didn't take the entire fuse box but I bought a few other cosmetics.
Explain what you mean by tuck it, what do I need to do exactly, sounds like a good project to start.
@ 1SIKCIVIC, I looked at your engine bay & saw what you meant, it's like when I tie up all the wires in my pc to make it look less crowded with wires, I will be doing this soon. I bought a battery to ground 4 gauge wire & a 8 gauge ground wire, I installed the ELD I pulled from the junkyard, I still need to do the battery to the alt but I will do that tomorrow, started up & noticed a brightness difference with the head lights on & the dash lights don't dim when I press the brake during idle, the radio doesn't want to die, I may have fixed my electrical problem, I'll report when I do some night driving, we will see.
go for it. but ill warn you not, it sucks and takes A LOT of time. so dont do it on days where you need the car
I will keep that in mind, I'll have some help when the time comes, hey, the ELD was my problem, no more dimming of lights, even my dash lights got brighter, still gonna replace them with LED's.
nice. good stuff
Just ordered my gauge lights, need to get some bulbs for the rear, I was told to get red bulbs for the red parts & white for the back up lights, does this sound right? I have never put LED's in the rear lights before.
Well I painted a few things under the hood (not the valve cover yet) but by time I got done it was dark so I'll take pics tomorrow when I get home, did some more cleaning in the bay but still not done, I only get to work on my car during my son's nap time & that can be an hr 1/2 to 2 hrs, just depends, still all good on the electrical issue, car seems to run better.
