Guys, these lights pop right in without any drilling or cutting, the nose has not changed around the lights. I pulled out my plastic inserts and popped the driving lights from an 01 right into my 03 no problems, Just an FYI...

I got the wiring diagram from the 01 from Acura, I took that to my guy and I decided I didn't want the additional toggle switch in the car (looked Cheap) so they wired the driving lights to my Parking lights, that way, parking lights come on, driving lights are on, head lights come on, Driving lights stay on. You can add the additional switch I just didn't like it. It definately makes the 03 look nicer, I will post pics when I get the car back tonight...

They are also changing all my lights to HID 8000 including the driving lights, but you have to ceramic-line the driving lights first, they will burn through them oherwise.

If you are close to Jersey, I have a really good guy who does the work

Yea, I got some used 01 roadlamps cheap on ebay and popped them in my 03 right after I bought it. Have not hooked them up yet. Looks better than the obvious holes Acura left on the 03 when they dropped the lights out. Would love to get them wired somewhere cheap, I'm not knowledgeable about wiring it up.

If you already have them in, you should go to a good Stereo shop, they can probably wire it for you in an hour, they might charge $45-60 but at least you know it is done right. It definately beats those empty holes and trying to figure out Acura's wiring diagrams

Thanks, I did call an auto electric shop and they wanted $75 an hour. I'll check out a stereo shop, good idea, thanks. Do I need to get Acura wiring for the lamp plugs?

I just gave the guys the Acura wiring Diagram and they provided all the wires. I will try and take a digital pic of the wiring diagram and post it for you later. (sorry, no scanner)
