I work at an insurance compnay and I have seen TWO TL's this week with there Headlights stolen. Both in Queens (Astoria), New York. Please be careful in this area !!!

 

i would be so bitter if i came out and didnt have headlights......although.......i guess that would aid in engine cooling!

 

Thanks for the latest update. I thought the headlight thing died down. Now I'm really thinking about getting a good alarm w/remote start since the weather is getting colder.

 

i live in queens

 

Horrible, horrible, horrible....

 

i was at comp usa yesterday and some guys headlights were stolen... sux... im gonna have either park ave or my dealer install the shock sensors..

 

I think you guys should change the top bolt to headlights as well. I mean the guy just needs a 10mm socket and boom he is in. Go to Home Depot/Lowes with the bolt and get another type of bolt.

I am pretty sure the people who do this are not carrying around an entire tool set to get the lights.

Just a suggestion and good luck !! I will keep you posted if I hear anymore and where it happend.

 

If you can find security screws in that size, you might think about using them.... just a thought...

 

Was it the CompUSA on Route 46? Someone tried to jack my lights at the On the Border up the street from CompUSA a couple of months ago.

 

its the comp usa on rt 17 in paramus.... oh ya how does the headlight come off... dont u have to take the bumper off? lemme know how it comes off w/o taking the bumper off... it may help me wiht clearing the lens... that different bolt size is a good idea.. who ever does this know what they are doing.. and have only what the need but this my cause more harm then good.

 

I feel my pain... It's gonna happen to me...just a matter of "when"..

Didn't somebody elese have their headlights taken at that CompUSA? Maybe that would be a good place for an Acura TL meet/trap! If you guys could get an insurance company to provide a TL, you might come up with one hell of a meet!!!

:-jon

 

Whats with CompUsa and headlights?!

 

I took my CL into Brooklyn on Friday night. I told my friend that people have been stealing our lights. She tells me o dont worry your cars safe around here. No joke, not even 5 mins after she said that a Ford Windstar & a civic hatchback pull around the corner with real HID's. I was like WTF....

For those of you trying to put special screws in your headlights... They dont hold up against a crow bar.

If they want it, they will take it.

 

very true...seems like more harm than good will happen..

 

Oh they'll come out without taking the bumper off, but only after causing about $3000 in damage to the hood, bumper cover and fenders.

 

The cost for the repairs has been around $2500-$3000!!

Since, they cut wire harness and good stuff like that

 

If they ever steal my lights....i'll just make my insurance pay for my SKP kit!!
