Actually, that would be awesome if you could give us the part numbers (left and right, or pair?) and how to install them. I know I have to do one, and I think a couple other people do too.

Cornflake

Yeah, I need them too!! If it works, I'll get them after I clear out my tails in the spring.

UnsanePyro

Ah thats a good idea, to either clear or tint them (can you do both?) at the same time...

Cornflake

I am just going to clear them....THink it look sgoodjust like that.

great the part number is 33503-sw5-a01 and there is no right or left, or at least thats wat the dealer told me. i got 2 of that part and both fit jus as well because its one of those things that doesnt reallie have a "face" side. have yet to determine if it reallie works, but if anyone wants to know how to do this then let me know and ill post pics with directions.

Just ordered 2 from Sunnyside Acura for $32. We had some thunderstorms the other night and my trunk is soaked so hopefully the gaskets will fix the problem.

LeathaFace

Wow!! I definitely recommend Sunnyside Acura (www.acuraparts247.com) for parts. I ordered my gaskets on Monday afternoon and got them early this morning. I finally got them installed and took some pics of the removal process.

There're 4 screws, 3 are pretty obvious and one is behind the plastic molding. What I did was pulling up the spare tire cover and pull the molding toward the front of the car to give some clearance to the bolt. Oh...speaking of bolts, it would definitely be beneficial if you have deep sockets to unscrew the nuts. That's it. Once you unscrewed the nuts, gently push it outward with one hand while having the other hand holder the taillight as it moves out.



As you can see below, the forth bolt is at the corner of the lamp.



And here's the part number for the gaskets. It's the same part number as naba2002 said.



Replacement is extremely straight forward and reinstallation of the taillight is the reverse of removal. IMO, one of the easiest repairs you can do if you have a soaked trunk.

good job man u wont regret doin this. i was gonna get to the pics like i kept saying but....im running on like 4 hours of sleep a day this past week and jus have not had the time. also if your tails are foggy, they wont go away if you just replace the gasket. at least mine didnt. i took out the light and bulbs and left it in my house at room temp for....dunno how long it takes but i just left it there for 2 days just becuase i could. and then when i put them bak in with the new part they were good. so try n c wat works for you.
