Ouch!

I washed me wheels on Saturday and noticed that Ihave a hole clean through my driver's side road lamp. It also hit the bulb dead on. I cannot believe the karma this car has. If there is something that is going to happen, it will happen to this car!

$35 for a lamp and I gotta go searching for Polarg M6's again!

The road lamp should NOT cost you $35. Someone is ripping you off.
You can pick up a two-pack of Sylvania 3652 bulbs at AutoZone for like $7-$13, I don't remember exactly.
Unless you have special bulbs or something.
The bulb is pretty easy to replace: remove a splash panel and wiggle the bulb fitment out. Or you can pay a shop $25 to do the work instead.
BTW, my roadlamp cover cracked too! Somebody got a lucky shot in!

Damn GTO... you think that's bad... my fog light (yes, the TL-S has fogs) got hit with a rock and I need a new housing. $165 is the cheapest I could find. Thank god the bulb is OK as that's a 9006 bulb.

No man, not the lamp, the whole housing is $35 from Park Avenue Acura. The bulb is separate. I have to find a local source and so far, no luck!

Hey JB, long time no talk! PAA is getting the housing for me and I found the bulbs at Rayco in Little Ferry, NJ. If any of you NE guys are ever in NJ, you gotta see this place. He carries almost every kind of aftermarket wheel you have ever seen. I fell in love with a set of Brabus but they don't fit the CL-S.

I found the PIAA 19224 18W bulbs there for $19.
