Post 2002 tailights install

I'm going to buy the type s tail lights for my 2000 TL. I was wondering if I need to buy anything else other than the light itself. And also is it hard to install? Can you guys me a link where someone gave directions? How long does it take etc? thanks

Bought mine today and the dealer said that the new bulbs will not fit in the old harness so they are making one for about $8. Ask about it.

Check this out too.

I have my Inspire tails installed almost a year ago on my 99TL. It looks so much better than the orange one.
I don't have a digital camera yet so I can't post pics.

Paid $166.38 plus tax but the new harness' won't be in til Tuesday and the bulbs are on BO. I think I can find the bulbs though and I'll just have to flirt with the 5.0 if I end up installing before I get them.

Talked to Lisa. She's awesome. What did you do about the bulbs? Are you still using the original whites?

Yes it was 167 each.

I installed a set "02 tails in a "00 TL for one of our customers today.Looks very cool however for an additional 10 dollars each you can get the wiring harness for the "02 tails that makes this a true plug and play.Since this was our first shot at this mod we replaced the turn signal socket with a spare but then we had a problem with the bulb as it is a special one as well.Needless to say we now will be stocking these harnesses so we can do this quickly and easily.Jens

Have any part #'s so I can go to my local dealer and pick up all that I need.

Tails, Harness, bulbs, Anything else?

How much total w/o labor?
Can you post any gotchas?

Also, do you think the 02 HU will fit the 01?? I want the CDs and the cost I think would be just a bit more than a Changer...

This sucks! I talked to the parts department at Greenwich Acura. They said they can get the tails next week and it's $208 each plus bulbs plus the harness.

Glad I didn't order them yet. Damn, that's 80 BUCKS more for the set!!!!

You should be able to just go down to your dealer and get it from them. Unless they want to rape you with higher prices..
