headlights look great!! cant wait to get them on the my car

 

question, i just recently blacked/cleared my headlights, but now i just found out about this ZKW lens... when i had my head lights apart is was very easy to get the lens out from the front (just wanted to see what it lookd like) ,,, just curious if it's possible to replace the lens without taking the headliight out again, and unsealing it? from the back possibly where your change out the HID?

 

For the lens swap you need to have the headlight opened.

 

Pm

 

Replied. Did you purchase the LEDs yet? Because I just got a set of headlights in today and you are up next on the list .

Black0ut-- Blacked out/ZKW/CCFL
BoBByLiGhT83-- Blacked out
usaf2008: Cleared
3zero3kid-- Blacked out V2 with LED strip
Timb24:-- Blacked out V2

 

P-to-the-M
I need switchbacks (definitely) & LEDs ASAP
HELP?

 

one other question: how much is total shipping/insurance cost 1-way to zip 10940?

 

You are in NY, priority mail to you shouldnt be more than 15~20 bucks and it will get there in two days. If you were to have it done before tomorrow then I could have hand delivered the headlights to you since I will be in queens on Saturday.

 

I sent you a PM, here is where you can get the switchbacks from the following site.

This is the one you are looking for, 48 SMT

 

ok, cancel the LEDs if it means I can have the lights hand delivered saturday. i'm going to ship the switchbacks to you IMMEDIATELY

 

i just realized how close saturday is...the 7443 bulbs wouldn't get to you on time.

 

so i'm officially "challenged" because no matter HOW many times I scroll thru the 7443 page I can't find the 48 SMT bulb that's needed.

 

Sorry, wrong link

http://autolumination.com/7443_7440.htm

bulbs are halfway down the page.

 

THERE it is! haha thank you my friend!
so, the super white will flash white AND amber? or am i being "challenged" again? haha
...i thought i saw a video of a TL that flashed both colors

 

Yeah I know that video, the white overpowers the amber a bit when turned on. You will have white (almost the same color as the led strip) at parking and amber when you turn the blinker on, also know that you will need resistors to avoid hyperflashing (when the indicators blink at faster than current rate).

You need " 6 OHM DELUXE ALUMINUM" one per side. from the following page, again you only need these if you DO NOT want the turn signal to flash at a faster than normal rate.

Install is very easy.

 

black0ut dont worry about the switchbacks not showing up before he starts your headlights. you literally unscrew a plug in the back of the headlight, remove the old turnsignal bulb, insert switchback and screw plug back in.

 

did I mention you're the man? well BIRD is no longer the word...JnC is the word!
i don't think i'll mind the hyperflashing so much...my RSX was the same way. if it starts to annoy me i'll pick that up. besides, i try not to use my blinker too much...especially when i'm merging into traffic near elementary schools, retirement homes and dog parks joking!

 

originally that was my thought, but i remember reading a thread about switchbacks and soldering...maybe i was hallucinating?

 

the old style switchbacks were 1" diameter, new ones are 3/4" diameter. Since our headlights have 3/4" diameter, owners used a soldering iron to "enlarge" the hole

 

ahhh...so the crack pipe WASN'T playing tricks on me! lol thanks bro

 

the front turn signals are 7443 for the regular 04-08 base TLs.....can someone advise me what is the size for the rear turn signals? is it 7440? or will 7443 fit?

 

i believe rear turn signals are 7443 as well. I hope so since the LED's coming in the mail for rears are 7443.

Just TL-S that are 7440...somebody who knows for sure, feel freeto correct me

 

There is a thread that just started with a detailed list on what bulbs fit where. Check it out. Should help

 

can someone post a photo of a cleared vs. non-cleared headlight side by side?

 

Here's the link to the thread. https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/3g-acura-tl-bulb-sizes-list-3g-garage-g-077-a-691135/
