Angel eyes; they're just soo sexy, even hotter in person. no semi decently priced out there options yet :-(


And... LED tails... god i love em'... I was so hoping the 06 TSX would have em' since the new accords have em' but alas, no :-( I'd even go for some aftermarket biddies like these on this boxster...

 

Do the euro r's have led tail lights since the new accords have them?

 

1) There is a company that do make angel eyes for the TSX by retrofitting the OEM lights. http://www.acura-tsx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25288

2) There is someone doing the LED rear lights and it looks good. Again do a search.

 

Well, I'll chime in: I think the LED's on the new Accord are butt-ugly, as is the whole re-worked back side. It looks very disjointed to me.

I'm not sure what the appeal is for LED taillights. When do you ever see them?

 

all = :ghey:

 

on the ugly Accord new backend. I was just following one this morning on the way to work, the taillight shape just doesn't look right (LED or not!)

But LED taillights are generally cool. Their technical advantage is that they have faster response speed (light up faster). Also I think they just don't burn out (someone please confirm that).

 

well i too am not excited about the new accord's rear end; but they DO have LEDs.

to answer the question about my new love affair for them... anyone who's ever been behind a G35 coupe at night knows whati'm talking about.. it just makes me warm and tingly all over looing at the lit up back end of the G35 coupe.

I've seen the pics of umtiza's work, thats what I posted above, but $400 islike rediculious, I want em' but not that bad....

granted our head lights are more expensive because of the hid setup; but I was expecting to pay something like $100-$150 for him to do it after sending our lights in. but no one will ever know how they're going to look because arch is too busy to put them on is car.


as far as the tail lights are concerned, yes there is someone on the board who was looking for a set of used ones to retrofit his own in, but no pics of it yet, and even if he suceeeds its just his, hes not going to start mass producing them the way they're all over e-bay these days.

 

DIY LED tails on this IS300-- can't undrestand a damn thing he's saying but i figure i'd share..

Anybody have any experience with Spiderlites?
I know these have been mentioned on AZ before, but there's been no useful info (like reviews).

 

There's a company in FL that does custom LED lights for IS300's, you send them the lights and they'll do the conversion . Also, one of our members TLTOURER in Japan has done LED conversion for his Accord Wagon, looks pretty good (his site is down so I can't find any pics).

 

that AND the fact that the G35 coupe is just super-damn-sweet to look at (and to hear!) to begin with!!!

 

shit those are pretty damn cool! would look awesome in the 3 ring tail lights we have

 

Spiderlite review:

http://www.300cforums.com/forums/faq...valuation.html

 

Yeah, I was contemplating a mix of 3 and 5 arms on each side. 3-arm on the outside, 5-arm on the inside... or vice versa. Or not. But for those prices, they'd better be good and bright!

Off to check out the review now, thanks.

 

yea; my thoughts exactly; if you get em' and tell me they're good; i'll get em'.

I was thinking the 3 arm on the inners, and 5 arm on the outers.

 

That review gave me an idea. Now to see if they bite.

 

whats the idea?

 

From the article:
I'm going to compose a good email and/or call them. I'm thinking, we've got huge numbers here and very little info and no reviews on the product.
And now that I've told you, the idea is MINE!

 

well whatever; just get it done i wanna see it on the TSX!!

 

i think the LEDs on the facelifted accords are very nice. it's just that the ass of the car (sedan) doesn't flow with the rest of the body.
what's the appeal for LEDs? they look good and use less power than bulbs. they light up a lot faster than bulbs.

 

Yeah, the LEDs are nice, but the ass-end of the new Accord is hideous. It reminds me of the slightly older Pontiac Grand (Prix|Am)'s...
You answered your own question. Powered correctly, they last a LOOOOT longer. They also glow a truer red, as opposed to the orangey/yellowish red of normal bulbs.

And besides, they're LEDs. Just about anything that has LEDs on/in it is good in my book.

 

so how's it going.

 

I'm fine, thanks for asking! :ghey:


Anyway, email composed and sent. Let's hope they bite.
In the course of doing a bit more research, I realized that:
a) the manual doesn't even list bulb part numbers (wtf?), and
b) only the 3-arm Spiderlite is available to us! Only the 3-arm can replace 7443 bulbs. So much for the 5,3-arm mix.

Measurements show we SHOULD be able to fit the medium size.

 

did they reply yet

 

Nadda

 

how'd it go with spiderlite?

 

No response. I'll try a follow-up.
$35USD per light + shipping is a little hard to justify at the moment. Seems rather silly, since they're a Canadian company. I should have CAD prices!
