Okay, I got my PIAA lights in today to replace the reverse lights and the licence plate light. Anything special I should know. I think scooter has done all of these before. I'm not very mechanically inclined, so any tips before I try to do this on my own would be greatly appreciated

 

don't touch the glass w/ your fingers cuz the oil on your skin can make the bulb heat up and eventually burn it out. just one of the things i can think of now

 

ok, let's attack the reverse first:
1. the black knobs on the inner wall of the trunk right behind the light housings are really screws to hold the lining secure...so unscrew them and pull the lining away
2. the reverse lights should b the easiest bulb to get access to, so b careful when removing the light

as far as license plate light go, all u need is a phillips head screwdriver, and yer set

 

my sure you put the reverse lights in well because i spent some time fishing for them in the housing.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself!!!!!!!

 

Gawd, its not like brain surgery... remove the friggin bulb cover and "unscrew" the bulb, then "screw in" the new ones... My goodness!!!

 

Thanks for the info scooter, I will have new lights as soon as I get home today.

nate'sCLS: I know it's not that hard, but this wonderful resource is out there, acura-cl.com, so i figured i would take advantage of it and make sure there was nothing weird I needed to be aware of. My bad.

 

remember to either wear surgical gloves or use a towel to install the PIAA's...and the reverse lights are pop out/pop in, so it's a piece of cake

mmmmmmmmmm, blue

 

Just wondering what you guys think of the PIAA lights...I went with the full package short of the high beams and mirror lights...the bluish lighting complements the aegean blue exterior nicely IMO.

 

How much did that cost you???

I think I paid 9 bucks for my roadlamp bulbs, but I can't remember...

 

I bought my road lamps from the site that sponsors us, I think its autocarparts.com and they were like $15 but I bought my reverse lights and license plate lights from a different site and they were $10, but I can't remember the name right now.

 

Oops

How could I forget to mention that surgical gloves are required, I guess it is sort of like brain surgery

Mine come in a box like this...
