you can make some sheet metal brackets that hide them and paint them black, thats how i did it on my jetta. Or just run electrical tape on the side of the lights that show, there are many tricks on hiding. Don't beat yourself up about it.

I thought you were banned...And it's ok, you shouldn't put those lights on there anyway. It's good that they aren't covered up

what color tape? ive never heard of that .. hmm.

its only on the sides cause the LS doesn't have the side skirts

that the ss and ss/sc does



see the LS doesn't have that lip to it

and that hose gets in the way of moving it in.. pluse i dont want to drill thru anything i shouldnt

and the last time i just hooked it up by splicing a cig lighter location.. was eisier

lol why is Honda the standard chevy guy go to car to diss. Ford, Dodge, Mitsubishi, Kia, Hyundai, Daewoo are all markedly less reliable cars(none of those car companies have cars that last over 10 years regularly). I see plenty of 80's hondas kickin around. Granted Daewoo now supplys GM with small car drivetrains (think aveo)

put those on the opposite side of the pinch weld. the back was harder. use electrical tape.
