its a tight squeeze but i think you can get em' to fit

dont forget that you can also go the cost effective way and paint the inner housing black. just remember to mask off certain areas, there is talk about it on here

Any of the parts websites in the FAQ will have them. Ebay has them pop up, as well as here in Black Market.

They only look different because the '01s aren't painted, the chrome makes them look different. They actually are exactly the same.

Acura Carland (http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/) has 'em for 180 each...

My CL has a drivers side fogged light (happened after warranty ran out), so I was thinking about buy 2 new ones and selling the non-fogged one to help offset the cost...

I guess I should try pulling 'em apart first (clear corners) to see if I can clean them up tho'...

Seems to have the best prices of the dealers. I tried to use parts.com which was a few dollars cheaper but it was a nightmare. I actually ended up a few dollars less here (for the header gaskets & bolts) because they are local and I picked them up.

Item Number MSRP Core Price Price
33151S3MA12 $235.07 $0.00 $176.30

HEADLIGHT UNIT, L

33101S3MA12 $238.82 $0.00 $179.12

HEADLIGHT UNIT, R

Why is the right more?

that would tint/smoke the outer casing of the headlight, right?
that would just make it look like 01 versions of artbran's headlights, not 03's.

And the flame on the Comptech stickers coming again:





I know many have different opinions, but I think that 03 headlights tinted look sexy as hell and will always look better than 01-02 tinted.

I think it all depends on the color of the car as to which headlights look the best.

I like the 03 headlights on black, anthracite, and red.

The 01-02 headlights look a lot better on Satin Silver Metallic IMO....

Not feeling the tinted headlights....too ricey for me(I prefer modified stock look). I am all for people making cars HOW THEY LIKE THEM though
