Few Questions!

i just got a 2003 Acura 3.2 TL and i fucken love it!! I had a 98 Mazda 626.


So far i found a few problems like my curise control dont work and the bose subwoffer doesnt work because the last person that owned it has had subs in the trunk and must of unplugged the bose sub or maybe cut the wires other then that.. car is awesome..!!!!

But i got a few questions about it..

1. Does the Climate Control lights light up at night cuz mine does?
2. Where can i get matchin fog lights to match my regular lights.. (the HID ones of course)

i cant think of any others right now..

Welcome!
Did you get any kind of warranty w/ the car? It stinks that your cruise control doesn't work. Is your factory Bose sub still in the car? If so, you could try and find if the wires were cut or just take it to a audio shop and have them diagnose it and them determine what you want to do from there.

1. Yes, it should light up.
2. You can retrofit an HID kit (ballasts + bulbs) in your fog light housing. No problem. Should be around $250... (Factory HID's are 4300K. Some people go w/ yellow fogs. It's really up to your personal preference.)

You can't really match the color/brightness of HID's with regular bulbs.

And if you have a warranty, why don't you take it back to where you got it and get these problems fixed??!!!

How hard was that grill to put in? Was looking at getting one for the upper and lower part of the front. Saw your fog install pics on cardomain, looks like it was real fun. lol!

The grilles are not hard at all to put on, they are held up to the grill by twist-ties. You will only have to remove that plastic piece (held by those annoying clips) directly above the radiator to get behind the grill.
