I currently own an anthracite metallic 04' TL A-spec...I recently just saw the TL-S and the new TL's....i was wondering

1) do the 07 Type S rearlights fit perfectly with the 04 TL's? I had called into a dealer to inquire, and he said he wasn't sure, because a few years ago they did a rear light swap for an MDX and apparently the brackets or something didn't fit exactly, and he couldn't or didn't want to provide an answer for me....SO, i was wondering if they fit, and if anyone had dimensions for both etc etc...


2) I have pretty bad eyesight, and at night it gets pretty hard for me to see especially on the local road when there is no streetlamps...the foglights i see on the bottom bumper of the 07 TL's, is it possible to do that to my TL as well??


* of course the main question is if i can do both these things at the dealership, but if i can't I'd love to be pointed in the right direction for this.

 

This thread has been moved from the Performance Parts & Modifications subforum to the proper forum. Please read The "Modifications" in "Performance Parts & Modifications" announcement at the top of the Performance Parts & Modifications subforum for a full explanation.

 

1) Yes, many here have done it.

2) Yes, you can add driving lights. Maybe not the 07 ones, but there are many aftermarket choices.

*The dealership probably won't be very helpful for this, but you could try. They might swap the tails for you, but I doubt they will install aftermarket lights.

 

Did the tail lights & side marker lights from the TL-S last weekend. (it was VERY easy.) took about 1.5 hours total for all 4. (including removing the rear bumper & putting it back on)

I am working on installing the fog lights right now. you need to decide though what you are going to do for control of them & what to do about the existing)

I am adding a separate switch in the dash (in the "blank" to the right of the mirror control) using another "VSA" switch I ordered from the dealer. (I am going to do the switch mod descibed by several members) I am using then '05m accord 4 dr fog lights I got from ebay, but you could definately use driving lights instead to assist with seeing at night.

FYI - mine is an 05 so everything is the same as yours. (also Anthracite as a matter of fact)

 

Does anyone know for sure if a dealer is willing to swap em? I like to get every thing done at the dealer because my original service center is in NY (Rallye) and i'm currently in Saint Louis for school... not to mention I don't know any good places to get these mods done since I don't have screw drivers nor the proper space to do light swaps and fog light inserts properly

 

PM me. I am in St. Louis and for a case of beer would be willing to help you swap them. it is REALLY easy. just takes a little time. Took me about 1.5 hours a week ago to do mine. (now that I know what I am doing would probably take close to an hour total.

 

dude terminex that would be awesome ~ only catch is i'm under 21 LOL

but yea, seriously, what type of beer you like? and when you free? and where should i order these lights?

fucking Frank Leta wants to charge me 500 for doing these lights....fuck that lol...
