02 tail light lens on an 03

Just wondering if one would be able to replace the red/clear 03 tail light lens with an 01-02 all red (almost). Anybody who has seen the 03 up close have a clue. I really like the 01-02 version.

you know, when you have the blinkers on for the '03
they blink orange...
I think you should get some superwhite bulbs that blink pure white to match the clear piece..

Blinking orange is a clash

I personally love the 03 tails. Just what I've been asking for.

Red turn signals look like shit to me. Red / clear housing with amber turn signal bulbs are exactly what I've been waiting for.

Let us know what you find out Jens.

TIA - Jim

how to change?

Well as with all aesthetics, its a matter of taste. When I was a young lad, replacing a tailight lens was a simple matter of taking out a few phillips head screws (from the outside). Times have changed. Anyone know how this is done on a CL?

We complained sooo much, acura made the 03 with no road lamps. I wouldn't put it pass them that they put a mounting screw in a different location in the tail lights.

Again, we wait and see.

Not only is it illegal, but highly obnoxious to other drivers. I sat behind a bimmer the other night waiting for a left turn signal. He had hyperwhite turn signal bulbs.... man even my girlfriend thought they were blinding bright.

No way would I do that to other drivers. The night-time effect of those bulbs is just too much.
