I just purchased a rear side marker set for 07-08 TL-S online and recieved them today, I THOUGHT I could just pop out the old one and put in the new one but it looks as if I have to change the plug to the new one that is provided.....how do I free the wires from the old plug???

 

I just did this on my '06 last week and you DO NOT NEED TO CHANGE THE PLUG. You're right that it is shaped differently, but if you just shove it in there, it will fit and it won't cause any damage to anything. Don't worry, just plug it in and all will be well.

 

^he's right. you dont need to change the plug. one side of mine went in easily the other you just have to wiggle to get it in correct. it make take some time/effort to get it to fit perfectly but it DOES fit.

 

yeah i was able to thanks for your guys help, I almost destroyed the old plug trying to free the wire......why doesn't acura just leave crap alone? Why would they have to change such a small component when the light itself fits the same on 04-08......pain in my rear

 

It works...or you could do it the right way and change out the plug for the correct one... 10 minute job and $5 worth of parts. I'd tell you about it but you didn't like my wheels and I hold grudges...LOL.

 

listen 2 them... mines fit perfectly aswell...

just keep an eye on them, because some of them tempt 2 pop out if u use car washes... no it didnt happen 2 me, im just givin u a heads up from a friend
