Default 93 civic after market headlights problem

ok, i've been looking into getting new headlights now for awhile but everywhere i look it always says, for 2/3 door only or sedan only or sometimes they'll just say for 92-95 civic. now as far as i know, (you'll notice from my name i dont know to much though lol) all 92-95 civics wether it be coupe, hachback, or sedan are the same from the front doors up to the hood, right? please help me put this question to rest!
-thanks guys!

no lol the sedans have a different front end.
i think only hatchbacks and coupes have the same one....? not sure.
but i do know that front end parts of a hatchback or coupe will not fit a sedan....*unless you change the whole front end..(hood,fender,bumper, lights...)

i own a sedan lol

The 2/3 door models share the same front end parts. The sedan parts are different. And I assume you saw hoods for 2/3/4 door on ebay? They either don't know the difference, or ask you to let them know the model car you have at purchase so they can send you the correct hood.

This is labeled incorrectly. It either fits 4-door or it fits 2/3 door. The different is in the turn signal. On the 4-door it is wider.

However, you might see headlights like this though that say they are for all 92-95 Civics, which is correct because this isn't the part that is different, it is the turn signal (referred to as the corner light). These are 2-piece headlights so since you buy the corner separately, the main headlight portion will fit all body styles.

However, on the 1-piece headlights like the ones you linked, they can only fit either 4-door only or 2/3 door only.


But, I would have to advise against projector headlights. They're made pretty cheap and don't really look that good anyway. The only projectors that are good are retrofits.
