I ended up purchasing the right sockets. Once you get those, you're straight....
This is from another thread I posted a few weeks ago:
This probably should be added to the FAQ.
If you have installed or are planning to install the '03 taillights on your CL. You are probably aware that the rear signal lights dont attach too well, requiring a new harness of some sort. Actually what you need to keep it factory is to get two new sockets, once these are attached to the bulbs, everything will fit PERFECTLY! No more electric tape to hold it up, no more nerf spongy thingys..no more rattling..etc....
The socket part # is this: 33503-S3M-A11 (You will need two).
You will also want to order new amber bulbs to keep things legal, of course there are other options on where to order bulbs, but from Acura the part number for the correct bulb is:
The bulb part # is this: 33303-SDDD4-671 (You will need two).
-ginash
btw: some rewiring is required with the new sockets...nothing too complicated

I installed 03 tail lights on my 01 Cl-S today. I ordered a pair of the turn signal sockets and amber bulbs when I ordered the lights. All of the plugs then just snapped into place and all of the lights worked without any wiring changes. If you had the new sockets, why did you have to do any rewiring?
