I just bought a 2003 Civic LX coupe and decided to add a few parts. I purchased an AEM short ram intake and a set of clear/chrome tail lights. It says there is no modification necessary but there aren't any instructions included.

I am currious to see if the stock bulbs match the new lights. Here is a link to similar lights I purchased:

They are the same shape as the OEM lights. If anyone has any experience installing lights like these, how difficult do you rate the installation process?

I am hopeing they are plug and play! Thanks for your time!

 

By looking at the new taillights, you should be able to determine where the bolts are in your existing lenses. You might have to pry out some plastic trim pieces to get to the bolts/screws. Just remove the bulbs out of the stock tails, undo the bolts/screws and remove the lenses from the car. Installation is the reverse of removal.

 

Alright, I will have to take a look when it's bright out and not snowing...I was just currious to see if the lights are just a simple swap.

Thanks for the quick response.

 

Yeah, it might take a little longer the very first time since you're not really familiar with it. But once you know what you're doing, you could change those out within 5 minutes.

 

Instructions:

Place back in box, tape it up and return to sender.

:werd: cant agree more

 

damnit... beat me too it. ;p

mine was going to be step 1. turn off fast and furious
or step 2. place in garbage....

j/p

they should be fairly easy to put in.... you just gota figure out which bulbs go where.

i've never actualy seen the inside of the alteza's but i imagine they just use the stock bulbs in different positions

 

What's wrong with a new set of lights?

Trust me, it's not going to be a fast and the furious car. Just thought I'd add a few upgrades.

The only other parts I will probably get are a set of wheels and maybe a grill from grillcraft - the lower one. No body kits, huge 5 foot spoilers or anything else like that.

Just want it to be a little different since there are so many around.

 

:hi5: say the person with eBay tail lights.

 

I'm just playin with u bro, alteezas are just not my style. most of the ppl i hang around tend to keep the stock look, its much cleaner imho.
