Hey guys,

I just noticed that one of my brake lightbulbs is out. What should I replace it (or all of them) with? Any idea on prices for the Polarg (is that right?) bulbs if they make them? Thanks.

 

Which brake light are you referring to? The 3rd light?

Ive had to replace the normal tail lights (brake lights) what? 3-4 times already? I've gotten pretty used to it, and I've seen several other TL's with tail lights out as well. I guess its a common thing.

But not to worry much. They're only 4.99 or so from acura. And they take about 10 mins to fix, even if you're doin it your first time.

 

Go to any auto parts place and give them the part # that's in your manual. The lights are about 5-7 bucks a piece. I had to replace mine about three times already. I guess the bass is killing it. hehe.. Oh Well.

Yeah dude. I've had bad luck with lights. I also replaced my fogs about two times as well. Those dang Piaas....

 

PIAAs??

How long do PIAA foglight bulbs last normally??

 

Whatever you do, don't touch it with your fingers, or else it will minimize the life of your bulbs.. When replacing my tails for Inspires, I touched the bulb(halogens, d'oh!) and it burned out in my finger's cuz I tried reinstalling and it was dead..had to buy another set, and it's the first time I am replacing the bulbs in the almost two year life of my TL...
