Well I just put some halo projectors on my 98 civic and it was fairly easy but I left on my bumper and fenders. I would recommend putting the headlights in first because the fender and bumper would cover up necessary bolts for the headlights. I dont know if your civic has the same bolt patter for the headlights mine did there were 2 on top 1 under the fender and 2 on the bottom of the headlight hope this little bit of info helps!!
