It does feel good! I've always loved seeing the front LED blinkers in reflections, now they're all around. Every time I change lanes or brake I'm thinking, 'Ohhh yeah, you like those LED's? Look how they go on and off instantly'... even though I know that exactly zero people even notice. Haha
Hahaha. No lie--that's exactly how I think, too, when I drive! No one will notice the difference [except, perhaps other '16 civic owners] but me, but that's all that matters!

Great minds think alike, my friend. :thumbsup:

Do we need to buy amber bulbs for the clear side markers?
No, you do not. You can use the stock, amber halogen ones that came with your car. Just swap the side markers, but use the same bulbs.

Other members (including myself) prefer LEDs, because they're brighter.

I guess the key word here is BUY, I was referring to LED'S not the stock bulbs clear markers of course have to have amber bulbs in any jurisdiction my bad for the confusion :)

Any suggestions on minor mods that can be performed to make the Civic's heinie look a bit more attractive? I mean I love how the car looks overall (esp. front & sides), but without resorting to major cosmetic surgery how can the back side (esp. the tail light profile) be made to look more pleasing to the eye?

I tinted the reverse/blinker portions of the taillights to give the back of the car a more aggressive look.

Have you checked the legality of doing that? If you get rearended it may be considered your fault. I know in MA it is not legal. Plus how do you see to back up at night?

Thanks so much for the link!
10000% agree about Gain, I think they put crack in the formula because I even have Gain scented trashbags! Lol
@ Civic_Honey627 I will forever have a picture burned in my brain of you wandering around sniffing Gain-scented garbage bags in your neighbourhood!

Dig it. Been wanting to do the same. How'd you go about it?

Personally, I jus want them tinted slightly, my window tint is too dark already and I won't be able to see my lights if I go too dark

I changed my rear signals and reverse lights to LEDs. You can see them just fine. I've had cops following behind me on a few occasions without any problems. It's much more subtle than blacking out the entire taillight, which is pretty common around here.

I lucked out, when the manager was taking my car back outside to park it, the radio went batshit crazy on him, he called Honda tech line back and they FINALLY agreed to replace it!!!!!!! YAHOOOOOOOO!!!
It's being sent overnight and I will have my car back late tomorrow! :)
The Accord Sport is sweet to drive, but I really miss my Civic Touriing!!
