Why it don't have flip lights?

Probably because it's European... And they don't work well when the car is covered in ice in the winter.

My plans for the car... I just bought it, so I'll fix all those small problems I can find and take care of it and ENJOY IT!

[NXRacer]

thats the first time i've seen an explination for why the euro accords dont have flip ups......veeerrrry interesting.

[Vinny]

well I hope you ENJOY it, they are fun cars to own. I wish I could find a way and afford to convert to the euro style lights

I must admit, that paint is in great shape for the age. Actualy, on that note, the whole car looks to be in great shape. I'm a big fan of the euro front ends on the accords, but I can't bear the thought of losing my flip-ups.

Thanks for the pics, and welcome to the board.

I can bring myself to do it:wave: I just need to find a way to get the parts. Wonder what a hatch with a euro front would look like??????????????

Personally I dont like the euro style lights. I like the flip up lights on our cars. If they have the euro style lights it looks too much like something from the late 70's to very early 80's.

But anyways, nice car, and be a regular visitor here at 3geez!

[PortugalFocus]

hope you have enough lights to see at night......

you must have one hell of an alternador to keep all those lights running......

Hi and welcome! Nice to see more people finding this great site with euro Accords!

Your car looks to be in an excellent condition, really nice paint... be sure to take good care of it!

Now you just got to loose those extra lights in the front, you get soooo much cleaner look. And while you're at it, I recommend throwing in some 16" wheels and dropping the suspension a bit. Then you're all set!

[Stegge]

Yeah I have been considering getting rid of those fog lights, but these xtra long-distance lights are very helpful especially in the autumn...

And foobari, I checked out your Accord. Nice one I have to say! After looking at it, I admit that a set of 16" or 15" wheels would be great, but with my poor income I can't do such an investment right now... :(

Thats weird, my popups always worked fine in the winter, even covered in ice and snow.
How about this setup guys? An Aerodeck with nonpopup headlights. Just think of how many times you can be a dick when someone calls it a Civic.:D

That's what I want to do. I think it would give a bit of a CRX feel, only bigger. I PM'd Foobari about trying to find parts for me via junkyard and ship them. Even though I offered him money to make it worth his while, he didn't have that kind of time, which I understand. I don't mind droppin the cash, I just don't want to pay factory price. I want the euro rear bumper too like the one on Foobari's car. Not sure it's a direct fit to the Hatch though. I think a pair of Aerodeck tails would be nice on the hatch.

Dude, you guys over in Finland should have a 3Geez meet sometime! 1st International 3Geez meet ever!
