1)post a sign that says any attempt to steal or tamper with these headlights will result in a toxic release of sulfuric acid that will immediaetley blind and disfigure you for life! 2)smear some dog crap across your lights LOL! you would have to wash it off everyday though! (that's a joke) 3) super sensitive motion alarm, (clifford) i know the hid light stealing thing is big in NY tri-state area! in fact they did a story on it in the ny times, great, inform more thieves! kman156

That probably is the only solution.

Or you can pay a body guard to guard your car.

They're being stolen and put on Civics, Accords, etc...

Just buy an aftermarket alarm with a good shock sensor (like Clifford). The factory alarm is crap....

Make sure to do all your engine mods before you weld the hood shut.

Of course, you could put Accord or Civic lights in your TL! LOL! Kind of like reverse psychology!
