2020 Civic Additions backwards compatible with older Model?

[woodysrounup]

Hello everyone,

Just finally caught the specs and changes to the 2020 trim of the Si. Seems everything offered here should have been present on the initial 2016 10th gen refresh but what do I know. I was wondering, would I be able to get Honda to at least change out my basic Halo lights for the LED light casings that come standard on the 2020? Anyone have any experience with this? I know I could go after market, but I would assume the light housing would virtually be plug and play but I don't know the intricacies of the lighting so that is why I ask.

I'm sure Honda will put the new lights on your Si , just write them a check...

Front vents and headlights are. You'd probably want to get a set of used OEM touring LED headlights from a highly rated seller though. Otherwise the swap is going to cost $1600 to 2,000. Not really worth it at that price.
Rims are the same fit.

Any seller in particular you'd recommend?

Had my eyes on the led headlights before I purchased my 18 Si. Still haven’t got it done yet. I wonder if this will be easier with 2020 coming out. Obviously there will be more parts produced

Wait for someone to swap for an aftermarket set then sell them here on the members classifieds.

From what I know the harness is a little different for those LED headlights on the touring and new SI, the aftermarket ones will come with a new harness to really make it plug and play, much simpler and cheaper than retrofitting the touring oem headlights on. I wonder if the interior pieces would just swap over, like the 2019 + audio units w/ volume knob. but im sure every cosmetic piece will swap over, its just the electronics that are the real question.

Yes you'll have to get the adapter. I believe it's around $80. I'm wondering if the engine sound tech is transferable?

What is the sound tech? I don't think it's like the sound induction tube my previous two cars had, seems like this is more electronic.
