I am new here and this is my first post... I used to have a modded to hell 2000 bmw and traded it for a stock 99 tl w/navi (needed something less expensive in insurance) and was on E46Fanatics.com and the message board software here is the same so I feel at home...

anyways where is the best & cheapest place to purchase OEM clear Acura TL taillights like the ones on the type-s?

What parts do I need for the conversion and part numbers if possible...



Thanks!

www.procarparts.com I got a set about a month ago. allthough, I don't remember exactly what I paid for them. Anyway, the quality is excellent and are identical to oem.

Would you mind sending me along the same info about the clear tail conversion. Im trying to find out the best place to purchase and whether to go w/ oem.
Thanks

Ya, me too, I was considering buying them from a dealership. If the quality is the same I would rather save the money obviously.

I just ordered a set from MatrixRacing via Ebay for $169.99. The price for Procarparts.com is the same.

hows the quality? (you don't have it yet I know, this question is to anyone else that has them or have seen the comparasion to OEM ones.) If they look cheeze I don't want to order, but they oviously look good enough for you to order, I just haven't seen a comparasion.
I hear you don't need a wiring harness for the ones ordered through ebay, but for the OEM ones you will have to either buy a $50 harness or use tape to hold the turn signal on straight.

try junkyard. 02 has been around for a while. It should not be hard to find some 02 tails there.

RF you're correct.

Oh, and as far as how they look, most non-TL people (and some TL people for that matter!) probably couldn't tell the difference between the MatrixRacing/Procarparts lights and OEM from a distance. Apart from the tiniest details the most obvious difference is the OEM lights have the turn signal bulb mask, the aftermarket ones don't (note: the aftermarket ones are actually more like the original Inspire tails).

you know of any up here Steve?

Use these search engines to find them. They can search Canadian yards too

I know there is a good yard on Steeles east of Markham road (forgot the name)
