I love the pictures. I would love to see a shot of the DRLs from far away. The output looks rather strange in the shots you took. Also, are those fogs LED?

great pics. was gonna ask if you edited the headlight pics at all..cuz if not they're damn bright.

also could you get a shot with the high beams on? I'm guessing the other 2 led's light up for high beam? i just find it weird that for drl, all 5 led's are used, but when you turn on low beams, only 3 out of 5 are on.

but seriously...more pics. hahaha your pics make me want to trade in my car...but i told myself i wouldn't...arghghghhg

Rocketsfan - Pictures of them on? I didn't include any of those. Sadly the night I did take the pictures it was so hot and I kinda rushed them through them. I will get some puddle lights uploaded soon!

ACCURATEin - Thank you!!

JnC - The headlight brightness is INSANE! The pictures are not enhanced to make them appear any brighter than what they are in real life. Thanks!!

bla8291 - Far away pictures of the day time running lights on... They are on in the last picture.... Yes, the fogs are LED.

mrstak - I will get a picture of the high beams on. I have used them a few times traveling on dark back roads and they truly LIGHT up the road. They are very bright!

JM2010 SH-AWD - You're welcome and thank you!!

aIRpeACE - No high beams... only regular headlights pictured above!!

It would be nice to have a photo of two side by side, one with DRL's on on the other with headlights on. But it woulld likely be difficult to distinguish the intensity from the photo.

Quandry - I will try but like you said it may be hard to tell. One thing I still have trouble with is night time photography (yes I have a tripod)

Given that the LED low beams are so bright, do you notice any improvement at all with the fog lights on?

Thanks for the superb photos!

Well, this post pretty much sells the TLX on its own. VERY detailed pictures giving great insight to the car. Good job bro!

Fantastic photo skills. You really make car look great and the color looks awesome. Those LED headlights look like they blow the HIDs out of the water. Truly awesome.

I linked this thread in the automotive news too. I think a lot of people that don't browse this section will really appreciate those. This is the first group of really good high quality pictures I've seen.

Outstanding pictures, you should become a photographer for Acura! Congratz on the new ride, I'm so jealous I am going to go bond with my MDX and give it a full detail this weekend. Enjoy and keep us posted!

1StGenCL - I am editing all my pictures now to hopefully have them uploaded tonight. I am going to start a new thread once I do. I will also take pictures of whatever you or any other member would like.
Is the Prelude Electron Blue Pearl? I had a '99 Si that color. Looks great!

Dude, great looking ride! I've merged your two threads together. They obviously go together and tell the full story.

What if the TLX was offered in electron blue pearl? Would you have went with one of those?

I have always loved that color.

Daddy Like. Congrats.

Just PLEASE tell me you didn't buy from Ed Voyles... those guys are the worst ever. I sure hope you got it from somewhere else.

Oddly enough our routes are somewhat similar. I sold my 2001 Prelude SH to get into my 2012 TL SH-AWD. Still miss the lude from time to time but not the maintenance!

If you press a button to put it in gear, then what do you do if the battery dies and you need to put it in N to push it? There must be some other method of putting it in N?

Hopefully someone can figure out how to turn on all 5 jewels as headlights and not just DRLs. Lol

Nope. Only 3 jewels light up when the headlights are turned on. 5 when on DRL.

DRL - 5 on with lower intensity
Headlights - 3 on with regular intensity
High beam - 5 on, but do not know if there is a change in intensity

Thanks to everyone with their positive comments. I have been so busy with work and just haven't had time to post. I just got back from a vacation with the car and it truly was such a great experience to drive it. Averaged 34mpg!

I don't believe the three outboard headlights change in intensity when the two inboard highbeams are energized.
