Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted November 30, 2023 Moderators Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 Most of us use postimages, upload your pics and then use the "Direct Link" and paste it in your post where you want it - saves forum space and you can cross-post the pic to other fora and emails that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markap385 Posted November 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 So this is her. With the horrible aftermarket lights 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted November 30, 2023 Moderators Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 There is always one dissenter - i like those lights! Honda made the 2nd gen CR-V with square (ish) headlamps and on the facelift fitted lights with two round reflectors in the same housing as the pre-facelift. I keep thinking about "updating" my lights which would be a very similar look to what you have there. Of course if you want the original look then the original lights are what you need to go for and it's what you want/like as it's your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing yours on Facebook marketplace. You are right about the parts being rare, majority of the sourcing can be found from the USA as there is alot of support and aftermarket choices for these cars over there. If you are thinking about getting the headlights back to stock, I would suggest looking on eBay for a good used Stanley brand set, there are quite a few being sold in the UK. Another option is to go aftermarket and try Amazon or Andy Auto Sport, but again these are from the USA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are they'll be Right Hand Dip in that case so the opposite to what we need here where the light beams dip towards the left but kick-up to show road signs etc better leaving the area to the right of the car (where oncoming traffic is) darker so you don't dazzle oncoming traffic. Foreign headlamps dip the opposite way so oncoming traffic is dazzled worse on dipped beam than on main beam - loads of US spec cars round here with US spec headlaights and don't i knw it after dark!

I've found a set of uk standard headlights on ebay, I've ordered them, the only set I could find across the entire Internet sales sites. Just need to polish up the lenses and they will be good to go. Only thing I need to do is re wire the loom as the previous owner chopped them about to fit these after market ones 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
