My left road lamp keeps going out! Can anyone tell me if thats a manufacturers problem and if its under the warranty even though I replaced the bulbs with polargs? I always thought it just goes out but last night I saw another cl with the left road lamp out. This is the third time in 1 1/2 years I had my car. The right one has never gone out on me yet.

 

My advice would be to put the stock bulbs back in, then take it to the dealer and tell them what's up....sounds like a wiring issue to me.

 

both of my roadlamps are out and i can't figure out why. i've looked for the fuse for them, but i couldn't find it. anybody know which fuse it is?

 

Yea...thats your best bet, I've seen come CLs on the road with one lamp out, can't remember which one but it's probably a wiring problem like cheng said.

 

I believe there's a TSB for it.

EDIT: TSB #01031. For 2001 CL only.

 

that's yer CAI's way of telling u it needs more air

seriously, man...u've been on this board for over a year with only 24 posts???? sup with that???? u like being antisocial??

r u using stock road lamps??? if not, r u handling the bulbs with yer fingers??? if u r, the oils in yer skin may b causing the bulb to blow which may explain the continuous burnouts...otherwise, check the wiring connections to the road lamp housing..if that's ok, then wiring is prob the issue

 

Yeah I know I haven't posted much. Don't mean to seem antisocial. Alot of threads answered alot of questions.

Well, I put on rubber gloves everytime I change the bulbs. Wiring looks fine. I'll just tell my dealer about it and see what they have to say.

Anyone else use polarg m6? What do you think of them? Thats what I use but it just doens't seem bright enough compared to some pictures that I have seen in this forum.

 

i have the PIAA 19224's, which are basically the same thing...different angles produce different perspectives on the light...if u keep your lenses clean and clear, the light shining through will b a lot more detailed and crisp...whereas a not as clean lenses will give the appearance of a brighter look, but it will b less detailed and crisp

i dunno how much sense this makes, but i've compared friend's road lamps with mine, and i kinda like mine more b/c it's a more defined light, altho it is less bright

 

how much did you pay for your PIAA's. Maybe I'll give them a shot. Do PIAA's have the same installation problem that polarg m6 users have. That you have to be really careful removing and inserting the bulb?

oops. used the back button and ended up posting it twice. sorry

 

pretty much the same as the Polarg's...pretty much the same issues with installation

 

hey scooter, I just notice that you're from port washington. I'm in Douglaston. Where did you get your car? And do you know if there are any Cl meets around the long island/queens area?

 

yeah we try and have a few here and there...i got my baby at Smithtown Acura

u should bring yer baby and autox it at Nassau Coliseum...i did it last summer, and it was a great time...got a few CL's representing

 

I'm using PIAA 19224's too; same size as the Polargs and slightly different color. Nine months and the housings show no sign of discoloration (yet.)

BTW, there's a meet this weekend, weather permitting -

Damn, I wish I can make it but I'm getting married in 2 weeks so I have too many things to take care of. I've never been to a meet before, what goes on anyway? Does everyone who goes to these meets have mods on their cars? Because mine is everything stock except for a cheesy bazooka tube and tinted windows. Kinda intimidating to be around really nice sooped up acuras you know.

 

hey congrats man!!!! very happy for ya!!!

don't b intimidated by guys with mods...in fact, use meets as an indication of what u would like/won't like on yer baby

 

hey thanks alot. Big day is coming up and I'm starting to get nervous.

Will be on my honeymoon for 3 weeks so prob can't participate in anything until august. Guess I'll keep searching for meets when I get back.
