Default vigor headlights on 4th gen



i think these might fit with a little modification
but i might be wrong
i think they might be the same as legend headlights:dunno:

As a former owner of a Vigor, I can tell you it probably would but it would require a lot of modification. Those headlamps are LONG. They differ from the Legend's by the way.

I see you found the JDM version of the headlamps too. :thumbup: You might want to try a conversion front end (fenders, bumper and hood), that would probably work.

MAYBE if you did an entire front end conversion, but I know for a fact that the Vigor was its OWN car, not even related to an accord or a legend (other than manufacturer). I honestly don't see it working. (I know for the vigor to use the JDM lights you have to use the JDM Grill) Personally I wouldn't even try, I came VERY close to buying my brothers Vigor and did alot of research on the car...as far as performance, parts, mods ect...and there was nothing compatible with it...ONLY vigor parts (which are few and far between). If u want to try go for it, but i don't see it being very easy for you, if it works at all. Also...about the front end conversion.....you would have to customize a hood, the vigor hood WILL be too long (transversely mounted inline 5) and MIGHT be too wide.

i've always heard that the vigor (jdm accord inspire) was **loosely** based on a stretched 4th gen accord platform. i'm pretty sure that the front end would not swap on either.

It was but it wasn't. Some of the suspension pieces were, but the platform itself was independant.

my mom drive a 94 vigor and that thing is nothing like an accord...thing handles sooo good and no body roll and it's inline 5 cyl. is pretty peppy (170hp/17?tq)...and it is long, but seems smaller than my 6th gen sedan...looks like a skyline or something made by nissan when it is coming toward you.

nothing, it's just my obsession with the yellow fog lights next to the high beam
like on JDM ITR headlights


could i do a 5th gen front end conversion
i kind of wanted a more updated front
but i'll probably end up getting the jdm 1 piece headlights
who knows

you could wire the h4 to be low and high (which is not how they are done on accords in japan) and then use a yellow bulb in the h1
