...really Acura?

..really?

What engineer came up with that brilliant idea

/rant

There goes $40. I'm about to hack mine up and just replace the bulb lol.


Cool story bro. Yeah yeah I know.

 

LOL you have been here a long time and just realized it now??

Its Leds inside so thats why its one sealed unit. I have a 07 type s and mine died but i just paid 80 on ebay for depo type s ones and replaced them all. A bit different but I personally like the depo ones better

 

Just get the USR ones.

replace both or all four and you have the option to get switchbacks for not a whole lot of extra $.

 

yeah, this shouldnt be news.

 

+1 on USR. I want them just to have white sidemarkers. Use the swoosh coupon code if it still works and they aren't a bad price.

 

USR ones look no where near OEM they look pretty low quality. Id much rather solder new LEDs in place than spend $80+ on some poor quality looking sidemarkers

 

Interesting...that's the first I've heard that. Did you have them at one point?

 

I love my USR markers. They're WAY brighter than OEM and give off a deeper red. I replaced my front with white so I can't comment on the orange.

 

stop being so crabby

 

IMHO the Depos look better than stock and are brighter, but they don't fit perfect, you have to be really looking to notice though. One of the front ones I used some 3M tape to hold it in place cause it didn't wanna clip in right, like the clips were too small, the rear ones have a little curvature too. Still overall happy with them but they do not look OEM.

 

I have DEPO's as well.

except I wasnt happy with the way they were fitting, so i took a little sand paper to the back black plastic housing/clips.

Now, they are nice and snug and have an OEM fitment.

 

The Acura TL was built in the US. They surely used lots of cheap materials in such a nice car. That's a shame.

 

^example?!

 

Dash is one of them. The car rattles like crazy. I used to have an Acura Legend, so it's unfortunate they don't built Acuras like that anymore.

 

^what do you expect!?
JDM > USDM.


and most auto manufactures have troubles with dash cracking.

 

That's a lame excuse.

 

nit pickers

 

What's "DEPO"? I saw the USR one's, but I don't need all of that switchback stuff. It's a stock '04 lol. Hell I was upset I had to purchase $3 bulbs. That's weird it came up in O'Riely's parts as a bulb for our side markers, not a whole assembly. Bastards lol

 

DEPO is just another word for aftermarket. like DEPO talilights, or the similar. i have DEPO tails and sidemarkers. no complaints here.

 

If you're upset buying $3 bulbs I don't think you need a car...

 

"Depo" is a brand name. They make aftermarket lights & stuff. Allegedly better quality than the no-name stuff. I have no experience with them so I cannot comment on their fit & finish.

 

whatever

 

DIY....I ordered leds from oznium, cut open the sidemarkers and fitted the leds inside.

CLICK HERE Starts on post 115. I used the black slim leds from oznium and fitted them into the factory sidemarkers. They run off 12v so they are a direct replacement (Red positive wire and Black negative wire connects to factory positive and negative wires)

 

Yeah DEPO is definitely better than eagle eye or any of the other brands I've seen. I had Depo Type-S tails on my car for over a year without any issues.

Anyways. I love my USR Depo brand white switchback side markers.

All light up white. Front blink amber, rears blink red with turn signal.
