i just brought my first TL i had a teggie 96... i know that on th integrea the 94-97 parts fit e.g. the tail lights head lights etc... so i what i wanted to know does the tl work that way also... i wanna put 2003 tail lights on my 99 Tl just wanted to know if they would fit fine with out shaving

thanks

Yup they fit just fine. When you get them, you'll need the wiring harness thats built onto the lights also.

Look at the thread I made in the 'performance section'

Compatible Accord Parts?
https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-performance-parts-modifications-116/compatible-accord-parts-734652/

I also had a similar question on what other parts can fit and it looks like the 98 - 02 v6 sedan is also compatible along w/ TLs.

Congrats on purchase! I'm coming from a del Sol and I'm loving the 'luxury feel' lol

Yes, the 2nd gen tl is still an amazing car and if my sister didn't total mine, I would have kept her forever.

this is my second teggy too haha.
96 dc4 -> 03 ua5 type s -> 99 dc4 5speed

congrats on the upgrade though OP. I hope you are as happy with the tl as i was.

teggy turned tl

I just purchased my 03 Tl Type S i had a 98 Gsr and loved it. I have learned that Acura's r just fun to drive. Very reliable, Good looks, And when that VTEC Kicks in...... Ohhhh when that VTEC Kicks in. Trust me u will be happy with your choice.

If it ever stalls suddenly while driving- replace the ignition switch
Acura did a recall replacement years ago but those fail too
call acura 1-800-382-2238 x5 with cars VIN and register as new owner
thats customer care center
they can verify the recall was performed or if you still need it- its free
the 4 speed in the 99 is more reliable trans than the 5 speed
Enjoy the forum- look down the list of thread titles for everything you need to know

LOL at all the teg owners in here. i also had a few tegs and i have one i just got to fix up. I love my tl aswell Its a fun car that fits the family.

afstud

question.... so the 99 tl is a 4 speed? i swear the other day when i was gettin on the highway i manual shifted for fun and i could it going from 1, ta 2, ta 3, ta 4 then when i put it back in automatic D4 it shifted into a 5th gear... and my tranny was already replaced by the previous owner at an acura dealer.... could it have a 5 speed auto?

^had to be in your head lol

or you hit a pot hole

it would be very expensive to install a 5 speed on a 4 speed car, different computer-shift assemblies etc

Whatever the numbers on the shifter say is what you got

my 99 tl was my first car since I was 17 and I still have it. No complaints everr. Great car.

afstud

ok im not crazy i just went out for a drive and it only shifts into 5th when im at highway speeds..... i started at 1 in manual mode to make sure i wasnt missing anything...i shifted to 2 then 3 then 4 and that was the highest i could go and then i watched the rpms go down even more and it shifted into 5th...i swear there is a 5th gear i also got on the highway in just D4 and it shifted 5 times and i watched the RPMs..

i know that it won't let you into 5th gear unless you are going 35+ i dunno bout highway speeds

make a vid or its bs man

afstud

ill have to try and make one.. i can also go to acura and have them look up the service record for when it was replaced and get details... im not sayin it to be cool or anything just thought it was bizar and wanted to know.

the dealer wouldnt put a 5 speed trans in your car

afstud

ive worked for many dealerships..you wouldnt believe how many mistakes they make lol

DC3328

iTrader: (22)

the conversion involves more than accidentally putting in a 5 speed instead of the 4 speed

afstud

ok now im convinced i have a 5 speed transmission.. i did it again and shifted manually when comin from a dead stop and getting on the highway... i even stopped on a non busy on ramp... started in 1..shifted 2, shifted to 3, shifted to 4 and thought that was it..then the rpms dropped again like 2 seconds after i shifted to 4... i dont think my rpms would shift again if there was not a 5th gear.. they would stay steady... then when i was going 60 i shifted down to 3 and the Rpms went really high then i went to 4 again and it was higher than it was at the same speed before i did this... and then 2 seconds later it shifted again and rpms went down,, when im on the highway my rpms at 75 are 2200 so thats low for a 4 speed.. my jetta had a 4 speed and those rpms were at 3100 at 75 so i know the difference... but im 100% its 5 speed.
