from the looks of the photochops, the bottom one looks the best, but from a color standpoint, the orange ones would match the corner lights the best. no other roadlamp bulbs can replicate the color, at least as far as i know.

I'm more interested in the Prelude lip. *HINT HINT*

How'd you do that?

I kind of like the yellow. But that's me.

haha its ok i dont mind. I'd be buying colored film or tint or whatever the hell its called. The only problem i have with tinting them black is that when the light shines it might look stupid, it would look good during the day but at night it would probably shine a dull ugly barf yellow color. If i decide to go black id just buy 03 inserts

i made a thread when i was doing it a few months ago, took a prelude lip, cut a V in the middle, heated it, and bent it. Made 2 more cuts where the curves are and thats basically it.

Of the three, I prefer the smoked roadlamps.

Would you use those precut pieces they sell on eBay?

Shit looks hot in yellow! Can anyone tell me if the 02 roadlamps will mount in a 03. I can't find any information on the 03. That's the 1 and only thing Acura should have done...hell, it was the rest of the other CLs.

yellow is jdm
the amber does look good and its different
and i actually like the black...but 03 inserts would prob be the way to go

heres one for you though..why dont you paint the inside of the roadlamp housing black and stick the polar m6 bulbs? in their with the yellow film? or amber film...that would capture the color alot..

Thats really not logical, hows the light going to get reflected its just going to get soaked up by the black. It would look pretty ridiculous with a lil bulb just lighting up in a black housing.

Amber would be nice though. Just get the same brand as your side markers so they will match

its not like our roadlamps give off any light as it is... if he got a bulb that gives off more light...than any color that goes in their will be brighter....and i would paint just the angled..not the back piece where the bulb sits..
