am i the only Anti amber upper corners?

i dont know about you guys, but im glad the CL doesnt have the amber corners in the headlight like every other camry and accord out there. people spend time and money getting the amber outta their stock headlights in other acks and stuff, i cant imagine myself working to put the amber back in...

i think amber uppers makes it even easier to confuse the CL for an accord or whatever and i rather like it when people say "what car is that? thats not an accord"

am i crazy?

yeah but some people like to stand out from the croud and do different things...some people like street fighter kits and some people like jdm....it wouldnt be a fun hobby if everyone has the same things....

I wanted to do that but never had time and patients, bc school, work, and money(retrofit).....

I think its good that people think of such things as that being that theres not much aftermarket parts for our cars...

I'm still undecided on the amber upper corners. I think they look pretty good with the amber lower corners, but I don't like how the white part of the lens goes around the amber. I don't think I'd do it to my headlights, but I'll give props to the guys that did it. It's definately a step forward in originality, even if it is going more towards the look of the accord or camry or whatever. Nobody is going to confuse this car with an accord because of amber corners. It makes them different than all the other CL's out there, which is cool in my books.

DannyV's:


Some people can pull it off, some can't, I like vxcl's, sixfifty, and dannyv's sorry anyone I forgot, because they incorporated it into their style/theme. I myself prefer clear, but I respect people doing different things.

ambers own, but to your comment i was 100% happy that the lens was clear becuase there is just something off about the design that to me wouldn't look like nicer cars on the road with ambers. i think its the shape. its a huge corner lens. amber bulbs are the closest we can get

dont get me wrong man i have primrose i love the colour just wouldnt put the ambers on mine, i like the clear look for corners and signals. but with the blacked out headlights and the amber theme up front looks good on your ride.

It looks good on some black cars, I don't like it on mine, much prefer the clear





I think it looks better on mine, but i have oem fogs. Clear matches the headlights and fogs, if you don't have fogs, amber looks ok on black, but i think that making the top corners amber completes the look better

change out the bulbs for yellow ones in the fog lights... throw the ambers back on... and amber the corners on the headlights. FTW.

the only reason i like is it serves a purpose, yellow is better in those weather conditions so i can let that slide and with the right fogs/setup ... i still am anti yellow/amber/prokit

i got amber in my upper corners. at first it was because it was too much of a bitch to match corner bulbs to my HID's but now i love the way the ambers look. i still rock clear conrers though, but with amber bulbs.

That's still a good guess, may be that saleman knows that our car is just a glorified Accord.

At least in your case it still stays in the Honda/Acura family. My car was called a Cavalier and a Lincoln ...
