mattcl-s

I did already. yes they are in that range. I found an acura dealer with
185.00 a piece. still searching for cheaper.

JarrettLauderdale

Would you mind sending me a link? I've never seen them that cheap.

Checkout Delray Acura. They have them at about 185 a side... I'm about to get a pair as well. Probably one of the best things we can do to refresh the look of the car.

When you order from Delray, type "Acurazine" in comments section for extra 5% off.

I replaced my headlights, the "old" ones weren't fogged up, but they did have buff marks from recently painted. I can send pictures, I think the dealer kept them. So far, we've replaced every piece on the car so we have a lot of extra parts.

I had to reseal my passenger side headlight last week and I sanded and polished the lens while I had it off the car. Tonight is the first time I've driven the cl at night since then. I was amazed at how much more light they put out. I'd imagine new ones would be even brighter.

I replaced mine last year and it made huge positive difference on the road at night...I could not believe " wow " it's clear and bright on the road

Lance10,

Nice fogs...where you purchase

Would it be worth it do do a projector retrofit? I see a lot of cars on the road with projectors and the output isn't impressive to me.

JarrettLauderdale

The fact that you can't tell that their light output is phenomenal is a good thing. You don't want them to throw light in your face. The light they produce goes to the ground and has a distinct cutoff at a certain height so as to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. Much unlike headlights that people have just chosen to install HIDs into that aren't designed for them.

I just completed my re-do of my retrofit and I love it. The light output is so much better than the "normal" headlights. The only problem is that I think I like the factory look better.

I’ve seen the retrofits around this site and some do look bug eye as some people put it but I think it can make our cars look more aggressive. You’d have to assume that I’m going to ask you for some pics of he retrofit and some light output pics

drillzzz

Your car looks so clean that I could basically eat my breakfast off it. Geez and I love that color on the CL

Someone should try the jewel eye retrofit on CL. Thought about it myself but not gonna add extra weight to car for lights.

Lance10

Thanks much. The fog lights were purchased on eBay, brand was JDM. The Acura tech spent the better part of a week moving them around in singles/pairs until I decided they looked the most stock. Greg @ Crown Acura has the patience of a saint.

This was prior to the entire cooling system and passenger side of the engine bay being replaced. Right side will be in a couple weeks

Lance10

pardon my ignorance Brian, what is the "jewel eye" retrofit?

the new rlx/tlx/mdx/ilx headlights

DLntheCL

these are panamera shrouds, IMO the shroud makes or breaks the projector. I like the jewel LEDs but it wouldnt fit in a CL housing

Lance10

Looks like it belongs, which model year of panamera? Do you have the part number? Was it an easy install?

JarrettLauderdale

You can find them on that site I sent you a link to for the headlight bulbs.
