I guess JDM is only cool if you think it looks cooler... but to me, to do something "just to be JDM" is pointless.

Is waiting in
What bulb are you using? I have a white LED (looks 'hyper yellow') in mine, but might change it out to an amber one so it matches the other shades. I was never a fan of amber to begin with, but this is something you only notice when lit. Other TSX drivers I have come across think it's just a bulb change and tried it themselves with no luck. So yes, it does make it different from the rest of the herd. Plus with having JDM headlights, I've been harassed by law enforcers, saying it's illegal to have 'blue signals', but when I show them the signals are in fact amber, that I went out of my way to make it that way, they are more easy going and let me go for tint

IMO- no offense to anyone
no offense to anyone. I know this is several weeks old but I had to express my true feeling about it.
If I have a different opinion then yours, please don’t hate me. Or ask me to be positive...etc
re-badgeing always ranked as the number 1 on my do-not-do list until I saw the jdm taillights and how much they cost.
I could not even tell the difference between the oem and the jdm tail lights until someone pointed it out
I do not see it adding any beauty to the car In fact I personally think red matches blue better then amber
I strongly believe that this is a worthless mod meaning waste of time and money (to me).
Several people here claimed that amber is safer at night. If this is the case then shouldn’t our brake/stop lights be amber instead of red? Believe me If amber is much safer then red then shouldnt the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration mandate all automobile manufactures to stick with the amber signals
If Acura offered a choice between amber and red I will defiantly go for the red
Please do not be offended with what I said. I just spoke my honest and true feelings about it. and to lcrazyaznl if thats what u like enjoy and dont be offended.
Merry xmas and happy new year to all of you guys.

Also being an ABP owner and JDM tail-light owner.
To me this is a worth while mod because to me AMBER is a more distinct and visible as an indicator color. I have driven behind plenty of TSX's (my Wife's included) and the red signal just blends to much for me and isn't very distinct. For me it's the contrasting AMBER that makes the obvious, "I'm signaling".
Of course red is the standard color for brake lights becasue logically they are easier on the eyes, and at night wouldn't cause the "blue" shadow in our vision.
For me I really never really liked red signals. Especially cars that use the brake lights for both stop and signal, now that really urks me.
P.S. If not to draw offense, you shouldn't call someones mod "waste of time and money", because if you look at the bigger picture, anyone's mod can fall under that category.
P.P.S. Merry Christmas too!

The main concern was our brake light are kind of small and then when our signals flash some people might think its brake lights or the other way around.
I wouldnt say their a waste of money, because they still look great and have a purpose.
