    Hi all:
    I just wanted to get a 1992 civic serviced for nct/mot purposes, very
    well defined issues like tightening the parking break and aligning the
    lights. I was told by local Honda dealer that they do not service
    Honda's older than 1998 and it is their policy. I know it is not
    difficult to get this done but just annoying that a dealer would treat
    customers this way.
    Have others here experienced this? Is it a universal policy? Guess
    Hondas are 'not for life'? It is a good thing that we got rid of our
    1976(6) P reg rusty.

    Does any one here know a source for the headlamp sticker(?), it is a
    device that is used when switching driving from the left hand driving
    setting to the one on the right hand. Is it possible to adjust/set the
    lights permanently for driving on the left in a left hand drive Honda
    civic 1992?
    Thanks in advance,
    James

    They're called "headlamp converters", or "dip beam converters".

    Try here:

    Google for more, or phone around.


    Only if you fit a set of RHD headlamps from a breaker's yard (or eBay). The
    lens beam pattern is molded into the glass and can't be altered. The
    headlamps are pretty easy to change once you have the front bumper off,
    which only takes a few minutes.
