I just completed my clear bumper lense installation last night. I know a 5 year old can do it but I just wanted to make myself available if anyone had any questions about the process. So here I am - ask me anything.

hey one thign i figured out is that u dont got to take out the lenses to change the bulbs. it would be a boitch for me to remove my fogs and grill to do it so i was lookin for an easy way out and found one. u pop the hood and the literally stick ur hand into the bumper and pull the lights out. the parkin is easy the blinker is a little harder buts its much easier plus those plastic screw things are real crappy if u ask me.

Where did you get your lenses? Are the specifically for the CL, or did you have to modify them?

I ordered those one time from auto dynamic, and they were too short. They are supposed to be the same length as the integra bumper clears, thats why you are able to adjust the integra clears to fit the CL's. But, I ordered them and they were almost half the size of my bumper lense. So I was wondering if there are any other sites that sell them, the right size?

You can also try www.autocarparts.com . That's Tim, the guy who runs acura-tl.com . I also know that Ross (rmstoico) on here sells them, not sure if he got any more in though. I ordered those same ones from autodynamic and they fit fine. The install took about 5 min. to do total, including changing the bulbs....

Sorry about that, it was actually Procarparts that I bought them off of, and those are the ones that sent me the wrong size, not autodynamic. My fault for that. But, I'm still kind of weary now of buying them offline, because if you look at any of the pictures that they have on all these websites they look almost identical. And, still to short. Does anybody have a pic of there's?

I ordered them from Procarparts and had them in my hands three days later. They are a perfect fit and are actually quite well made. I compared them to the stock Stanley lenses and the construction proces looks nearly indentical.

I also went on a goose chase for orange turn signal bulbs and found them at a Flea market in Port Chester, NY.

The Package is called BI-Hybrid, model # M-1. They are 12 volt/21 watt. I think they are made by Polarg.

I kept the white parking lights in there. Pretty good looking - we shall see how long they stand up versus stock.

Next project is the Philips HID conversion kit. I am just hoping that they do not blind people on the road. Has anyone had any experience with this?

I have a set from Autodynamic and they fit perfectly. I used to (one of the first ones) have the Integra lenses.

As for HIDs, you're gonna get some glare regardless of the bulb type D2S or D2R simply because our housings were not designed for HID. But I did it anyway and it looks good.

FYI about Phillips HID kits, a friend of mine got it for his Toyota Forerunner and the output looks yellow and not white like mine. Could be his housing...

Cldriver - Do you notice if you are blinding people at night - are oncoming drivers flashing their high beams at you at all?

Thanks.

I don't think I've ever been flashed.
Here's what I notice,

1) Just standing in front of the car say 50 ft away, it looks damn bright.

2) Drove my friends car in front of my car and I don't notice any glare when looking at it from rear view mirrors.

I was reading the Philips lighting forum and the color of the HIDs depends maily on the optics of your headlight assembly. Everyone that posted about their accords said they were white and i have heard CL's are nice and white but some people said they are super bright but yellowish on other cars.

No more scratches thanks to the dumbass who walked on my car and had to pay to have it repainted.
