Default 01 Civic EX Sedan - Headlight Replacement Options

Hello everyone,

I'm having a hard time finding information on replacing headlights on my civic. I need to install 4-corner strobes (I do D.O.T work) and do not want to pay $200-$300 per assembly from Honda for OEM only to drill into them for the strobes.

I found lights from TYC and Go-Part but I know nothing about them and can't really find any reviews about them either. I did find a thread on this forum about TYC and them being a good aftermarket supplier which is nice. Would these lights be a good replacement solution for me?

You can view the TYC lights here:
http://www.amazon.com/20-5949-00-200...680&sr=8-5

You can view the Go-Part lights here:
http://www.amazon.com/01-03-HONDA-He...771&sr=8-3

Thanks in advance for any help whatsoever!

You can do it yourself, just drill the holes to fit the strobes inside and cover it up real good with a sealer so no water gets in. But before you do any drilling, measure measure measure.

Thanks for the reply but the strobe installation is not the problem. I'm wondering if I should buy OEM lights for more than 400 bucks for the set or if I could save some money and buy the ones off of Amazon made by TYC or Go-Part.

Why don't you drill out and install the strobes in the headlights already on the car?

Go here to get your headlights.
They are just about half the price
