BTW, that front lip is really going to make it look aggressive when you get around to putting it on.

Nice Work!






PS----dips on that bumper when you get sick of it in a couple weeks
LOL, too bad A+ wasn't good enough for my asian parents.

"A+??? WHY NOT A++??"

Looks Great Brian! Is your car ok? I saw in another thread you were talking about hail damage?

Do you still need a wire diagram for them? Sorry I never got you one, I couldn't remember what each of the 4 wires were coming from the OEM switch were or else I would have done it that day. Also I've been really busy lately working late, just not much time even for my projects.

Yeah the car has been in the body shop for about 2 weeks now.. I should have it back in another. And yes, I still do need a wiring diagram for this! They are just embedded in my lower bumper not hooked up...

All done!!

Two thumbs down for a camera that makes the lights look halogen, lol.

Don't be thrown off, the lights are very much white, almost blue.

Full photoshoot to come.

On a side note, I'm so glad I don't have to have a front plate

The middle portion will be filled with some sort of mesh soon.

Don't worry, i'm going to be putting on the front type-s aspec. The plastic pieces in the opening will have to be cut out and then repainted. Soon!

Photoshoot coming soon guys, here's a teaser.

Those lights where the '07 and '08 DRLs on the '06 are fog lights. '04-'06s don't have DRLs.

thank you for clearing that up for me!

also, super confused as to why acura would do this for the 04-06 tl? was it because the U.S. didn't require DRLs? just very curious.
