Honda Debuts 2016 Accord Facelift, We Visually Compare It With The 2015MY

Do you think the jewel headlights and LED taillights of the new 2016 accord will be able to fit on our 2013-2015 accords if we decided to do a swap?

From the pictures in that link, it sure doesn't look like either would be a direct bolt-in swap.

 

[tea]

no.

 

[norcal]

doesnt look like it all. you can see that the part of the grill curves to the top of headlight and same goes with the chrome piece on the trunk

 

[TN9thSi]

Not a chance. The headlights are a a different shape at the top and the grill extends into them. Same for the tail lights. That new chrome trim extends over the lights.

I think the taillight might work if you also swap the chrome piece that goes in between.

My fingers are crossed that the coupe tail lights will be a perfect fit! Dimensions look the same, but I'm sure some custom harnesses will be necessary. Queue Hardtipguy!

I think this may be the case, if you look close the chrome piece now extends further into the lights. If you swap the chrome garnish and the taillights it may be doable. The question is is how that chrome garnish is mounted to the trunk.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm hoping that Honda kept the mounting points for the chrome garnish and the tail light pieces the same. Even so, will the wiring/connectors be the same from the 13-15 EX-L to 16 EX-L? If it's a direct swap for everything, I might actually upgrade to a set of 2016 tail lights. They look so much better. Not that the 13-15 tails look bad, just bland and somewhat dated in comparison.

I don't see how. Unless you're a Mercedes fan.

too much chrome on the 2016

Looking at front end pics, to use the headlights you would have to swap the grille and hood at the minimum. not sure about the bumper or fenders. at that point you might as well swap the bumper so you can use the led fog lights.

2016 Accord Headlights on 2015 Accord

I wanted to know if anyone done research on if 2016 Accord's LED style headlights fits on 2015 Accord. I like the look of the 2016 Accord headlights and i was thinking if that will fit on 2015? Thoughts..

 

[karfreek]

Looking at pics the Hood and grille would also have to be changed at a minimum. Possibly the bumper cover too. Depends how bad you want them I guess.

Jay,

You are right, at dealership when i look at 2016 i thought it was similar but actually its not...there is some variation on curve...

Here is the link for 2016 Accord.

You'd have to swap the grille, the hood, and the front bumper at the very least. The fenders look the same as before (haven't checked part numbers to confirm), but who knows if the mounting points for the headlights have been changed as well. Seems like a lot of work and money just for the headlights. The '13-15 Touring headlights are very expensive (around $1300), but even they would be a drop in the bucket compared to what you'd have to spend to fit the 2016's headlights on your car.

If you just want LED running lights, you can get a set of 13-15 V6 headlights for about $500 (cheaper if you find them used). You'd have to do custom wiring to get them to work, however. Luckily, there are plenty of threads here on how to do that.

tk_ceo on instagram did it to his 2013 accord...

looks like he changed hood & bumper, he also did the rear

 

[Atown]

This dude manage to get his 2013 accord modded with 2016 tail lights. Looks hella nice.
