What happend to your headlights?? Stolen??

 

Yes, they were stolen in broad day light. Between 11:00 am and 2:30 pm.

When I first saw my car, I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong. Then I realized my headlights were gone, so I dropped my water bottle in shock (Like a little girl), and was putting my hand where my head lights used to be to make sure I wasn't just seeing things.

I flipped out for a good few minutes and then just called the police.

They ripped my bumper off from the sides and pryed them out. In the end, I needed a new bumper, both new fenders, and the HID system. My hood is still a little bent on the driver side, but it's not noticealbe until you really examine it.

I'm getting an alarm installed next Friday.

It wasn't like I was in a bad neighbor hook either.

 

Bummer...

Just Me

 

Damn .. That really sux..

 

Where in Jersey did it happened?
I need to know so I can avoid that area because I drive all over the place in Jersey.

 

I'd like to know the location as well, if you don't mind mentioning it.

 

If we catch these a$$ licking d1ckhead in the act, we should greet them with a baseball bat or a club. Acura should have designed this light with anti-theft system. If anyone tamper with it, it will release a high voltage shock those mother pu$$y licker I feel your pain too. Sorry dude.

 

Malls, movie theatres, along Route 3, and along Route 46 have all been places mentioned in previous posts about stolen headlights. Mine were almost stolen at South of the Border on 46 when the car was two days old. I wouldn't leave a TL or CL anywhere in a public place in Northern NJ. In fact I don't - I take the MDX, especially when it's dark. My TL-S is five months old and has 1,200 miles on it.

 

Sorry to hear about that..
Damn theives.. hope they all get caught!!

Do you have the replacements in yet?

You screen name got me curious..

Welcome btw..



KJ32,
Damn bro, ease up on the caffine!! Work have you stressed or sumthin?

 

yeah, Edub, I have been drinking lots of triple grande latt'e. That got me goin'

 

In the Comp USA parking lot on Route 46 West, where the Holiday Inn is.

It was on a Sunday afternoon.

 

Damn this is an epidemic!!! Got my clifford installed last week. Although I feel a tiny bit safer...I'm still uneasy about this whole HID theft thing. Freaking piss me off!!!! Focking little ricers!!!!

 

DAMM!!! I saw a RL at Park Ave like that today...Sorry to hear that!!!

 

yo I feel you, man I had them try to take mines over in the city if I hadn't had an alarm they would have had me

 

OMG!!

I'm not going out anymore with my car....I know where exactly that is...I'm gonna take my father's banged up Honda Accord from now on...

 

I dont get it, why dont people report this when they see it happening. If it was at comp usa, I am assumming there were people in the parking lot. If I saw someone rip off a bumper, I would report their a$$es to the police.

 

That's f*ckup, it is like 5 minutes from my workplace. I hate those motherfvkers!!! If I see someone touching mine or someone elses I will take a bat and beat the sh*t out of them.

 

sorry to hear about that... i never think i'll understand why people do these things

 

I always park far away, i usually wont park if there is a chance cars will park next to me... this keeps the car out in the open... It only takes like 30 seconds to get a bumper cover off if that... So at least in the open, they have no chance of not being seen.

The second thing I do is I always park with the front of the car out. Never into a space. If you park in they can park in the way so people cant see, and if you did have people park next to you, that is a place they can hide... packing face out means they have to be in the damn lane to get your stuff... In SC this wasnt a problem, now that I am in DC again, I am getting a alarm

 

Could it be that shops have hoods out in the streets stealing lights just so they can re-install them in someone elses TL that had their lights stolen?

Wasn't that what was going on with the airbags?

 

Damn thieves just can't stay away from our nice HID! We should wire them up so the thief will get an electrical shock once they touch the HID headlights. That might stop them!

 

Sorry to hear this brother.....

My father's Accord was almost stolen few years back from the Caldor parking lot. It's now Kohl on 46 west in NJ. They broke the key in the ignition and therefore, couldn't drive the car.
:o :o :o

 

But that wouldn't stop them from focking up your bumper first though.. which costs $$$ to fix.

It's better to deter them from even touching the car in the first place..

 

If you replaced your bumper and both fenders why not spend the little extra and get the 2002 front end?

Evan

 

Well for the 99-01, they won't fit the 02. Take a closer look at the car.

For the 02, it'll fit an 02. In case u guys didn't know

 

The reason I didn't get a 2002 front end is because, my car isn't a 2002, so insurance wouldn't go for it. And then I would have no use for the Mugen grille, which is the most expensive piece of plastic I have ever bought. And then I would have to get a new skirt.

And I don't even like the 2002 front, unless it has the skirt.

But ummm....my ride was supposed to pick me up like 30 minutes ago, they still aren't here yet.
