Do any options other than OEM exist for headlight/foglight assemblies?
Hi everyone, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this question but wanted to throw it out for the more senior members... Do any vendors have any aftermarket replacement options for an '03 CL-S, or should I call Acura tomorrow morning?

Thanks!

Yes, I actually have nothing ATM cause it's an 03, but with some DIY elbow grease I hope to do some LEDs or projectors retro with a lexan cover thanks to some guy's helpful DIY . Thanks Rajca!

Thanks BigLizard, yes I am planning the projector retro but would like to start with an extra set of headlights so I can take my time (cls = daily driver :0) haha!

Awesome thanks so much for the info and offer to help! I have some bi-xeonon FX projectors I'll be trying to retro into the headlights, but the fog lights have me stumped so I'll definitely check out your page after dinner to get my creative juices flowing!

Looks great!
looks great!

I'm considering small projectors in the high beam area for DRL's, and doing the same for my fogs (when I order them)... I don't have a wife but $$$ is still tight as I just got new tires and need motor mounts and new rotors/pads before I start new projects. LOL

(that doesn't even include the pile of stereo equipment sitting in my bedroom until I can find a few more items to work on that!)

Oh

I would love to lower my car and I still havent painted my bumper

Heres my dilema last year I got stuck 5 times in the snow I have an 03 RAV4 but I hate driving even in a snow storm (I wish I lived in a place with no snow!!) so what I have to do is get lowering springs and shocks and switch them out every summer and winter I may do it next but seems like alot of work !!

Id suggest K-Sports if youre going to do that. They have a threaded sleeve so springs always have the same/correct preload on them. Teins do not.
