Upgrading to touring OEM LED Headlamp

[Slob]

So I've noticed that the stock OEM headlamps for the civic Touring is available on ebay and other online outlets. Was wondering if it would be possible to install them onto the standard civics, and if there would be any compatibility issues

You would need an adapter to convert from halogen to led

The kits that I've seen online come with a wiring adaptor to be able to plug the factory harness into the LED headlights.

It's an expensive mod though.

True but I think the main reason for me buying the touring would be the headlights, but its too much. I think it'd be more worth it to just buy the kit separately. But I haven't seen anyone do a tutorial on the installation, so I don't know how difficult it'd be to get on.

As far as I can tell, it's pretty straight forward. You remove the front bumper, unbolt the headlights, and then reverse the steps.

That's all theory though. I want to see someone actually go through the process before I do so I know what I'm getting into

I've been on this forum over a year and have not seen anyone post that they have done this conversion yet, surprisingly.

As a Touring owner, though, I can definitely say that the LED headlights are still one of the things I love about my car, so it's worth it.

I love the sci-fi look it gives the car. Thats why I personally think its worth the investment, the price is not what I'm concerned with really. It's whether or not it could actually be done and how

There was a forum member that previously did this. I don't think he reported any trouble with it but he eventually decided they were not worth it and sold them.

theres nothing much to it like CalledFollower said but it comes down to how comfortable you are with taking off your bumper and headlamps then putting it back on

check it below for one of the members that did the conversion

there were two others that did the conversion but they ended up getting rid of them a bit later and going back to stock halogen headlamps

i would do this conversion but honda charges about $980CAD for one headlamp...so im looking at close to $2000CAD...ordering from the US and getting them shipped to Canada is also the around the same price which i get shafted on shipping rates .... fuck that

edit: i forgot how crappy those adapters from hardtopguy look compared to thailands version...heres how thailands adapter looks like

What do you mean "thailands version" what company sells this as a kit and are they Honda or replica headlights?

I have been thinking about doing an upgrade but as everyone has mentioned the Halogen and LED wiring is not the same.

I've done this mod. It is pretty simple actually.

Why don't you do it, figure it out and post a write-up with pictures? Someone has to be first...

Better yet, pitch me 1/2 the cost (About $500), I'll do it on my Hatch Sport, document the process and send you the walk through.
