Kev's headlights look like they have a bit too much going on to me.

^^^ i'll agree dragon, its a bit too 17yr old honda civic look to me. Im in the process of just fixing my stocks...the top tabs and the third one that attaches at the bottom all broke, so im goin gto use some industrial putty that I use in my field of work that we use to join metal to metal.
I would like to ask a favor of someone here that has a 2000+ b5, can you take off any one of your headlights and take a pic of theopening area, facing down. Reason: i have a 2000 and was in a head on collision, nothing major though. but i had to get a another rad support, and the rad support is from a 1999, and i think teh headlight mounting changed between the 2 years. I already threw away my old rad support so i cannot compare...i would really appreciate it

if the rad support was from a pre face lift then i would guess that it prolly wont work... i could be wrong... thats just a guess... most stuff on the front ends dont seem to match up right between the face lift and pre models lol

Noggy is sexy. Phil, I know you hate chrome but I think it would look a lot better with the noggy blue than black housings. I have the chrome housings and they really aren't as bad as you think
