Was hoping someone else has done this and can trow me some advice.

I hated my halogen back up lights so I bought the UPCB-xWHP30-T10 lights from Superbrightleds.com. Translated i bought the big flat 30 head LED that connects to the 921 connection.

The problem is that one, the head will not fit in though the hole in the back, second once its in its just going to flop around.

I decided to take off the entire back assembly that has the reverse lights it it but i can't figure out to get the plastic covering (that looks like carbon fiber where the license plate connects to) away so i can drop in the lights, firmly attach it and then close it all back up so its not half a**ed and is done right.

Anyone have any suggestions or have done this before?

Thank you

 

ouch. return LED's and get new ones.

 

I know I really like these lights they are crazy bright i just don't know how to get them in lol

 

Can you Cut the hole in the back, so that it can fit?
then tape it so it wont move?

 

Nope I thought of that too.

Once you get to the housing from the back there is a hard plastic assembly that holds the reflective part in place ( seems like a waste of space and material) thats what makes me think I can take apart the entire thing and approach it from the front. There were 4 screws that held on the chrome piece just above the back up camera but other than that nothing, almost looked like it was just held together with adhesive.

 

 

hope these diagrams help

 

Yeah actually they do a little bit. Where did you find these?

 

^any of the online dealers have these diagrams.

oemacuraparts.com
acuraoemparts.com

these are sites maintained by dealers. these diagrams are for part numbers, so that you can see what you're buying.

 

Cool thanks man. What I'm trying to get apart is number 22 in the first set. Im going to see what i can find on those sites.

 

unfortunately, those sites will just give you the part number of number 22.

in the diagram, item number 22...I only see #19, #27, and #32 holding down the fake carbon fiber plastic thing.

 

Yeah i see what you're saying now, maybe i just overlooked something. 19 was that part i mention that seemed useless. Im going to go take it back off i left everything in the trunk and the fabric off the lid lol.

 

what is number 19!? lol a gasket!??

 

lol F yeah it is. I thought it was the stupid thing under it. I got the whole thing in my lap it is glued together for sure so it looks like those light are not gonna make the cut

 

looks like my original post summed it up!! lol

 

Lol exactly. Thanks for all the help you didn't have to do all that. I appreciated it
