Upgrading headlights/grille on 01' to 03 Can any of you Cl experts chime in and let me know when I upgrade my 01' head lights and grille how hard that will be to do myself and is it an all day job? Thanks for the info.

 

UUHHH
I just got my 01 headlight upgraded last week, its an easy job, the only thing is you need to take your bumper off, and some kind of special screw driver to remove the cover behind the headlight.
Easy job takes about an hour or two at the most. good luck
someone will fill you in with the grill i havent really payed close attention enough to see the difference
good luck

 

Shouldn't take that long.

 

Thanks. I'll update the grille first and then work on those headlights.

 

So, your preference is for the black frames of an '03 headlight? Funny; I have an 03 and prefer the shiny 01-02's!

File under "Grass-Is-Always-Greener Department."

 

I hear ya', but I'm not sure how the fogs will look if they are not tinted. Makes no difference I think the 03' Cl looks sportier than what the 01 does. Oh well, to each his own.

 

Funny, my 03 CLS came with 03 TLS rims (similar to 01 CLS rms), I put in the 01 roadlamps (and tinted them) cause I didn't like the holes Acura left on the 03, and I even tried 01 tails on my 03. Seems most want to make their 01s look like 03s and I was doing the opposite I guess. The only 01 feature I have now is the roadlamps.

 

LOL, still have your '03 tail lights? Wanna sell them? Let me know!

 

No, I'm back to all 03 stock on my car, no spare parts for sale.

 

Cool, figured i would ask. Maybe you could help me with one thing.........anyone know where i can find the RonJon grill for the 01-03 cl-s? if so, please let me know.....its off there site. Thanks

 

should take a little over an hour, max.

 

Does anyone know what type of special screw driver is required. I'd hate to get my bumper off and realize that I do not have the proper tools.

 

u need a torx screwdriver...or u can take a dremel to it and use a flathead. i did the latter =)

 

it was a limited production item

 

anyone know where to buy the '03 headlight housing? and do you just pull the bulb out and place it in the new housing? if you know where i can find a DIY for this, point me in that direction. i have searched but to no avail.

 

Anyone Have Any For Sale???? Im Dying For One!

 

I have an extra set of 03 housing but on one of the headlight amber peice is sorta melted, I'm about to clear it and sell them,

 

I'll post pictures once i find out how to

 

whats the difference between 03 grill and 01? i never seen the difference

 

the outter ring of the grill is body-colored on the 03s while the ones on the 01s are chrome

 

Want to trade??

 

where can you get the 03 headlights

 

you need a T20 hex bit with a hole in the center

 

Ebay.................Blackmarket if you're lucky..........or some site that charges like 400 bucks good luck post pictures
