Swapping Tail lights from CA to EX?
Is this possible without gettin another bootlid? the inside tail lights on the actual boot lid are smaller, honda wreckors told me i need another boot lid but I look on the inside and it looks like they would fit but the black plate behind the licence plate needs to be longer?
any idea's

1987-88 JDM Accord Sedan:
1985-1986 JDM Accord Sedan:
But they are correct, if you want to use the Early 85-86 Lights you will need to swap the bootlid

Cheers my car 1988 CA lights are off a 1990 EX same shape thou
if you want it done properly like factory, then yeah you'll need a prefacelift bootlid. in that photo there ^ I used a 87-89 boot lid. i cut the facelift lights enough so i could fit the prefacelift ones, then filled & painted that part black

Got my tints finally done Yuss.
The mounting holes for the bolts dont line up and i cant see how the bulb holders gonna fit in? damn useless pickapart they had 3 white EX there 2months ago now nothing for me to get cheap boot lid! Can u tell im no mechanic LOL!
oh yeah i forgot to mention you might have to drill a couple holes or so, i also hori'd up some light holders to work. cause the prefacelift ones don't have brake lights in them, whereas the facelift ones do. i only added the extra lights to stop the brake light error in the gauges. btw your car's really clean for a white accord!
oh and you might want to make up a gaskety thing to stop water getting in there

What did u use to fill the old tail lights?
just regular body filler lol. works good too
Cool just sprayed it for now till i get some, be glad to get straight other bumper on i also removed the CA badge and sprayed bottom of boot lid, paint was flaken as its been badly repaired in past id say. Brought a duck lip spoiler from PP for $20 off a 1985 Prelude its too big! LOL! waste of a twenty, completely wrong shape would suit a 1983 Accord with bigger bootlid.
haha sweetprefacelift tail lights with the facelift bumper is the best look for these cars
Yeh now all i need is a auto (although she seems to only slip every now and then mainly whens its hot of course, also need spoiler and a louvre
The ASS on this car is sexy, i was gonna buy it but didnt really wanna pay over $4000
oh yeah louvers are ftw too (besides the fact they take up half your rear view lol). i would sell you my auto b20 box but i'm unsure of its condition :-/
Yeah its sucks i dont wanna be doing a swap twice LOL! honda wreckers want $600ex akld and they cant even tell me the K's? WTF! All the cars at PP are A18A or A20s and the autos are all over 2 - 300,000ks!
When i brought the car it was low on ATF, so we flushed it twice with Honda ATF then added some "Auto Repair Syrup hahaha and its 80% better.
that is some hot shit right thereThe ASS on this car is sexy, i was gonna buy it but didnt really wanna pay over $4000
What do i do to get the brake light error off dash besides pulling bulb outa dash?
