felixthekat

dzuy

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that our rear signals blink red. Those look like they blink amber.

einsatz

I'd rather have LEDs in the back

TSX 'R' US

JDM ones blink amber...and yes ours do blink red

Creaminz

Oh I love that!!!! How much was the rear tail light sets?

ClutchPerformer

Isn't it easier to just photochop the license plate out?














J/K. Looks good.

dabuda

cant you just change the bulbs?

corbs

I've tried, it doesn't really work. Still looks red.

I prefer the amber turn signal too, easier to see IMHO. You know it's a blinker/turn signal and not just a flickering break light.

gfxdave99

Neat!

Although you have made me think again about that lip spoiler, it looks really nice on yours.

jcg878

I think the "break light" is amber

corbs

Actually no, the "break light" isn't amber. . . it's actually rainbow hued and not very bright.

You know what I meant dammit!

jcg878

:ghey:

I guess mine just hasn't gone off yet

SirWaWa

IMO i like the USDM tail-lights
i like the red blinker
now for the USDM headlights...
i like the JDM more

dzuy

uh, i like my turn signals red

i agree, jdm headlights are the bomb tho.

You can't tell the difference between Amber and Red?

TdotSSTSX

Yes, and I'm sure he can also tell the difference between: Waste of money, and waste of money....

corbs

The only difference between "Waste of money, and wast of money..." is that the first W in the first "Waste of money" is capitalized. well there are a few other diffs, but you get my point.

Even though I prefer Amber turn signals, I'm not going to replace the whole assembly. But to just come out and call what other people do because they want to a "waste of money" isn't very nice. You don't have the right to pass judgement on other people over what they do with their cars and money.

When it doesn't hurt anyone, to each his own.

bigwilliestyle

I like 'em. Plus they give a 3 hp increase (4 when blinking).

Are pricey though.

TdotSSTSX

Corbs - RELAX. I was just poking fun at this blatantly extremist "JDM" upgrade. I just think it ranks right up there with putting "euroR" emblems on a USDM car...

It's all good, to each their own.

MemRheins

Interesting modification, like the amber too but not worth the money, however, what about the rear foglights?, can we get those taillights too?

xizor

you can do a JDM ricer flyby now, j/k

I wouldn't do this mod because I'd get no satisfaction out of it. You couldn't actually see the difference since to turn you signals on you'd be driving, and if you're driving you can't see your rear lights.

corbs

Maybe I over-reacted a little, but I still actually prefer Amber turn signals, and not because it's JDM looking. This may be a blatant JDM upgrade or it might not be. If it was cheap to do I would consider it, but I would never consider the "Euro-R" badge.

I think they are easier to see and thus safer. Only turn signals are amber, so you know for sure what you are seeing is a turn signal and not a brake light. It really helps when it's raining to be able to easily know what you are seeing. During the winters here in Portland it can get pretty dark and rainy and I've grown to appreciate Amber colored brake lights.

Either way

JeffTSX

btw corbs. I myself don't think it's waste of money but just that we would rather put our money into something else. Good mod!! YEH for you!!!

YBlegal

haha how much do you think i spent on that thing.. like few hundred bucks?? you out of your mind?? LOL

I got off Ebay for 1 dollar and shipping from Japan was 49.00 so even 50.00.. i think thats a great price for taillights.. and i still have the factory set.. so if anything goes i had a brandnew set.

and no.. smart LOL... but it was

heyitsme

I think people like whatever is different. Acura got it right the first time on the TSX.

MemRheins

Just reposting because my first post was ignored, there taillights are nice, but what about the European Tail lights, the ones w/ the rear foglights, anyone know anything about those?

ClutchPerformer

What is a rear foglight?

cmf

A fog light in the rear, usually red or orange in color, used to be able to see the ass end of the car when approaching it in the fog. It is a single light, unlike two in the front. I believe on the European version it's in the reverse lights area of the Accord/ TSX. On older model cars you'll just see them hanging from the rear of the car.

bigwilliestyle

I think some of the VWs support 2 rear fogs, but not sure. (with the right kit of course)

cmf

Do they actually illuminate, or are they like the reflectors in the rear of the TSX? I learn something new everyday!

jcg878

My 1984 Volvo 240 had 2 symmetrical rear fogs. Main use: piss off tailgaters.

bigwilliestyle

There's a "space" in the rear taillight assembly, however they're not wired. You can buy the euro harness and wire them up (yeah, the actually illuminate ). Some people do only one, but I think that looks kinda :ghey:. Once in a while I see an Audi or Jetta with them on.

TSXsurf

Does anybody have a pic or a link for more info on this? Just interested to see what they look like..

ILoveMyHonda

So i was reading this thread and I'm now really curious as to why you would need a rear fog light, is it so its brighter at night than our regular brake lights? Also does that mean on the European Accords they only have one reverse light?

Powered by Honda

I think its only supposed to be on the rear driver side. So that in euro when theres bad fog you can know where the car is infront of you better. Something like that.

Euro accords have 2 reverse lights

ILoveMyHonda

but isnt the rear fog light in the left reverse light housing? making the car only have one reverse light on the right?

And if i were to do this mod would that make my car illeagal in terms of only having one reverse light
