2006 Honda Civic Coupe Xenon Projector, Xenon Foglight and Clear Corners Installation Guide

Download
The following are my instructions for successfully installing xenon projectors in a 2006 Honda Civic Coupe. The process would be very similar for the Sedan or the Si, and could be easily modified for those models. Also included in this installation are instructions for installing xenon bulbs and ballasts in the Honda OEM foglights (if you have them installed on your Civic) as well as performing a clear corners modification (i.e. removing the diffusers). Since the clear turn signals modification also requires disassembly of the headlights, it makes sense to do it at the same time.
Headlight Assembly Removal Now that the bumper has been removed, the bolts that secure each headlight assembly are accessible and can be removed, along with the headlights themselves. There are four identical 10 mm bolts securing each headlight assembly, but there is one additional bolt (identical to the other four) and one body-colored bolt on each side that both need to be removed in order to get the assemblies out of the car (also 10 mm). 3.1 Begin by removing the two upper bolts. They are easily accessible, as shown in Figure 3-1. Also shown is the body-colored bolt that can also be removed now. Figure 3-1: Three of six bolts to remove for removal of the headlight assembly 3.2 Also remove the bolt on the side, near the turn signal (“A” in Figure 3-2) and the one underneath (Figure 3-3), which will require the socket extension to reach. 3.3 Remove the remaining bolt, which secures the black steel bracket to the frame of the car, as well as the bracket; this bolt will also require the socket extension (the bracket is shown as “B” in Figure 3-2; the bolt location is shown in Figure 3-4). These six 10 mm bolts (five unpainted bolts with washers and lock washers and one bolt with your Civic’s body colour) should be kept together. 3.4 Gently ease the headlight assembly out of its mounting location. As you remove it, it helps to move the assembly towards the center of the car and roll the assembly so that it faces upwards slightly (this will help it clear the front edge of the side fender).
