Side Marker Lights

For those of you who have put in the Side Marker Lamps, where did you get the lamps. I think it is easy to install, but would appreciate some info.

Thanks.

you can get them off ebay for like 20 bucks, just search for clear bumper or marker lights for acura TL and you'll find them. while your in there...I put blue marker bulbs in, just a thought, but yeah, its only 1 screw on the little side marker, and 1 screw on the longer one's, you have to look through the grill part of the bumper to see that one...they can be a pain, but if you drop the screw, it never goes too far.

I think that side markers kinda ruin the clean look of our cars. I remember 96TL wished that he didnt put them on his car. But like boarder said you can find them on Ebay really easily. They arent there all the time i dont think, but they pop up quite often.

I thought about it as well, still debating, but I would much rather have Mercedes style ones on the Mirrors. Looks clean still and very visible.

Ok, I will not put them in, yup, I agree, they look cleaner. Although, they do serve a purpose, it lets the cars on your side to know what your intending to do. Front and back, they can see your signals, but not on the sides....makes sense to have the signals come off the side mirror, eh?

Yup, that's one mod I might do when I get the car painted next spring. Find some used Mercedes mirrors and retrofit them on.

I have them on my car. Its hooked up to the parking lights though not the blinkers. I put hyper white bulbs in them so the side of the road gets lit up. It came with the car when i bought it. I like them gives the car alittle different look from the rest.
