first of all bought mine from
http://www.andysautosport.com/honda/1996_2000_civic/lights/light_covers/headlight_covers/gts/ (http://andysautosport)
and thier shiping is realy slow :( they dont stock them!
BUT the price was decent and at least they do somewhat answer emails...

now i bought these to kinda black out my stock chrome headlights alittle but still have quite a bit of light comen thru... WELL I THOUGHT!!!!!!
i used thier CARBON FIBER style covers and thought those would alow lots of light thru them due to all the open clear holes... BUT i was very shocked that they block so much light! enough where driving at night with them with stock bulbs definatly isnt a good idea! if you use some covers i highly sugest upgrading to some nice headlight bulbs! or go with some true HIDs which is what ill be upgrading to preaty soon.... tho first ill be upgrading to some OEM fog lights! that should help out the light even more.



BUT instaling them is VERY EASY! they just snap over the lower part and attach with some supplied velcro on the top under the hood part on the headlights... now here is another downfall... i had to slam the hood preaty hard for the hood to close with them cause the plastic does go over the top.... BUT that MIGHT BE cause my civics been wrecked before and the hood and fenders arent OEM and not sure about the radiator support :(
so they might be good with all OEM unwrecked civics BUT i cannt be sure unfortunatly!

BUT i must say the style is preaty nice and very easy to instal and take off if you wish very quickly!
my only other dislike is they arent tight or velcrod on the sides or botom... so other than the top velcro and the tight hood fit they are loose. but that can be solved by just using some 3M double sided tape but its more of a perminant BUT SOLID mount... which is what im planing on doing. but next thing im gonna but is the HIDs after the fog lights. and i might just tint the headlights like i did my taillights.
