You can use the same bulbs but what most people do is get the silver bulb so you wont get the broken egg yolk look .. Thats what I did. Silver bulb but blinks orange.

The "broken egg yolk" look is just a clear lense with an orange bulb being used giving it that yellowish look. I don't remember where I got mine but just google silver blinker bulbs.

Chrome bulbs are win if you don't want to put an LED back there.

I was thinking of doing the LED blinkers but I don't think I'd get away with it with the cops. I'm already fully tinted on the windows... Lol

It's plug and play dude... Just a simple swap in bulbs. Nothing more.

not sure if it was already mentioned, but i swapped my lights on my 2001 to the 2002/2003 ones, you need a new wiring harness. Not sure how to get one, what i did is found an Acura that was totaled and bought both wiring harnesses for like 20 bucks from that person i found online. Then all you do is unplug and plug in new ones, really easy

I just got myself the 2001 TL. I wanted to change the headlights to the 02/03. would i have to change the hood and bumper for them to fit right?

talk about a thread from the dead. but yes you will need to change the hood, bumper, grill, and fenders i believe. basically a whole new front end.

Yeah i know its a very old thread but i didnt want to start a new one. Since this one was talking about the lights i said why not. Is this a for sure thing that the fenders will fit? The reason i want to change it all is cause i have a hook up with the parts i just want to make sure its going to fit right .

I have a 2001 TL i changed to 02/03, they will fit right in however you will need the wiring harness from a 02/03 TL. One of the lights i believe the turn signal doesnt go into the whole easy, you can always makeshift it, I found a TL they were parting out on ebay and got both wiring harnesses for like $20, other then that its plug and play really really simple to do
