CIVIC EURO TAILLIGHTS

BACK TO DIY 2000 TECH SUMMARY

Introduction:
This is an autotoys.com installation. One of several hundred by the staff of autotoys.com
This article is a sample of knowledge gained by working on real cars for over 18 years.
Online for over 10 years, when you buy a product from us, we give you real support when you need it.
Instant access to answers through our customer forums. With thousands of customers, avoid delays, errors and miscalculations in your installation.. buy from autotoys.com - your outlet for car audio, car alarms and auto accessories.

Products:
If you have an interest in any of the products in this article, everything featured (electrical tape, connectors, radio, alarm, wire ties, rca cables, diodes, screws --- everything is available 'now' (FOR SALE!) through our storefront). Remember, there may be many manufacturers out there who sell similar products as the ones featured in our articles, but if you want a problem-free smooth professional install, your only guarantee is to buy the same parts we use (see our storefront). Any slight difference in any of the parts and your install is ruined (plus you won't have access to our post sale support or forums). Especially important for alarm, radio and OEM changer products.

Sales People (be careful!)::
Everyday, we get dozens of requests through our chat & ticket support system, request for forum passwords, questions on installation problems or questions. We can only focus on questions from our customers. The questions are simple.. the answers are simple - but these people, because they did not buy from AUTOTOYS.COM cannot get an answer. Dont make a mistake by buying through auctions, fly by night operations or new pop up websites who are just a voice over the phone (a sales person) with absolutely NO EXPERIENCE.

No experience installing in cars, no experience what-so-ever! They barely know the products they sell! Don't make that mistake! Make sure your purchase is from autotoys.com. These articles are proof we know what we are doing and that we WORK IN CARS! We work on the newest cars with the newest products.

This is one of 4 articles we have published (HOW TO) in under 4 days.

This is the original lights on the Civic 2 door HX. The owner had already performed a modifcation to the top (painting them red), however, this euro set of lights were a LOT BRIGHTER.

8 mm bolts hold the 4 pieces of taillights. Use a 8mm socket to remove the nuts and push the light cavities out.

Unplug all the harnesses.

You need to remove the plugs and bulbs from the original sockets. To gain access to the middle housing, you need to remove the 2 philips head screws. Note: Reassemble the screws and the cover and put it back in a safe place.

SEE PHOTO

Cover removed. Remove plug and sockets with bulbs. Reassemble in EURO STYLE LIGHTS.

This is how bright the lights were painted. Not too bright right?

This is the middle portion of the 4 piece euro style taillights. Parking lights. Very clear and STREET LEGAL!!! STAMPED DOT on cover!

Inside look with new euro lights installed.

Finished look! While we were in there, we took a pair of strobe lights and inserted them inside the RED lens housing.
