The UA = Chassis Code...


UA4 = 99-01 3.2L TL
UA5 = 02-03 3.2L TL / TL-S
UA6 = 04-08 3.2L TL
UA7 = 07-08 3.5L TL-S
UA8 = 09+ 3.5L TL
UA9 = 09+ 3.7L TL

The codes are to distinguish to cars chasis and frame... all the cars listed above, have differences in the chasis

Nice job on the lights. As soon as I heard you got a 4g I was pretty sure it was gonna be the first one with clear headlights!

Yeah we have the same setup, except you have the 6000K Kaixens and I have phillips. I hope JnC gets a set to start the swap program for the 4G. It really does wonders to the front end, I cant wait to see a blacked out set on a black TL.

I came to 4G just to look for your car, lol.

The headlights look 500% better than stock, wow. The whole car is starting to come together but...........Sorry to say this the 100th time but can't wait to see what will happen to that grille. It will transform the car. (and please don't get that distasteful chrome one, lol).....

mesh it out, I dare you!

hahaha... sweet... learnin' 'em up here on the 4G. I knew this would happen. Pop over here just to see what you're gonna do. I think only you and Buckyvegas are startin' the modding bug so far.

Wow, that looks fantastic. I never thought the 4G to be ugly, but now I think it looks great. My only gripe is that the front underspoiler is too thin up front.

^ Lip kit could have been more aggressive... but its the only option for now, and for like $900 painted... cant go wrong... the front sides (below headlights) look awesome from a side angle... overall, im very happy with the kit

the rear is actually the worse part.. its two parts, and the gaps are terrible.. even worse then the 3G Type-S gaps on the corners of the aspec... im gonna fill it with some adhesive, and use a rubber roller to flatten it out

TSX lenses = $50
Paint = $6
Silicon = $6

My time = priceless

Also, the Kaixen HID bulbs were about $90 and the Fog light kit was like $250

where in long island are u located? and u do other peoples lights as well?

AHH looks SO nice! FYI i got a white EX35 waiting for delivery now cuz of you, was gonna pick black, then i thought of well, blackura and chose white..lol

that's a helluva nice job on the bezel, very clean.

so when the white EX35 comes in, white car photo shoot?

oh yea...and the resistors, just waterproof em real good and make sure they don't budge. should be fine

last mod my ass

How much would it cost to have the lights blacked out? I have a AWD CBP and had the front and rear grills painted black to match.

i'm loving the ride. i have the non awd version same color and yours looks 10x better. i had a question about your turn signals because i want to change mine as well. do you just switch it with a white bulb or do i have to do extra?

Turn signals are clear lenses... so you can put whatever bulbs you want in there

I put in white LEDs (switchbacks) but then took them out... I was using the 60LED versions, and they had a defect in the circuitry... so autolumination gave me a refund

BLACKURA_NY, your car is coming along nicely. I love the headlights. I'm not going to have my car much longer and the 4th gen is looking mighty tempting!

Blacking out the headlight does a lot for the front end for some reason, it almost makes the grill look pretty nice
this is what it shoudlve looked like stock

I've been disabled, out of work and lost since I lost my tl. I just woke up from another dream of driving it. I finally started getting paid from the lawsuit. I'm on another month long vacation right now and I don't know if I want to come back. I've revisited acurazine about 3 times this past year and it makes me sad all over again.

But besides all that ... I don't know what to say. Sometimes you get lost driving and it takes a long ride to get back but at least you find a new place and learn another way.
