THE CUSTOM TRUNK SET-UP


lights on view


my stock battery had it! so i went with this, optima yellow top

 

looks sick man- where did you get the side markers from?

 

omg those look lovely. where did you get the tails from? same place you got the sidemarkers? congrats man. it looks awesome.

 

thanks, i got them from acura of escondido, side markers i got from hondacuraworld.

 

damm, i'm so jealous. car looks amazing. just picked up same color yesterday. it will take me a while for my car to look like that but it's my goal.

 

i'm scared to ask how much they cost.

 

Sweet!

 

$205 + shipping

 

Looks sick man, absolutely sick!!!

 

Thats it?! What the hell....do you have a hook up or something lol

 

I want! Great job. Can you PM me the contact for acura of escondido? Please.

 

nice pics!

type-s tails and rear side markers aren't that expansive. check out hondacuraworld.com.

 

Looks great. I can't wait to put mine on this weekend.

 

is this plug and play?

 

hook up? no, i wish! but i managed to pick this thing up. im just waiting to see if anybody comes up with a good way to make it work, otherwise i'll have to do it the old school way. jb weld!

 

lol....not cool.

 

Looks good man. Im still a big fan of the tinted tails..

 

jptl04, do they have any opening at your job? looks your doing good. i'm messing with you. i'm gonna pm you when i'm ready to start getting some upgrades.

 

Looking good! Those tails remind me of spiderman.

 

those look awesome on AM. I am installing mine on my WDP tomm. BTW, where did you get that rear plate frame, i like it

 

did you have to remove the rear bumper to install the taillights? Looks good man I just ordered the sidemarkers from hondacuraworld. Still thinking about doing the taillights.

 

hooooooooooly crap your car is so nice i don't know what to do

 

this is the 10th time i've clicked back on this thread. lights look great. just ordered me a set. can't wait to find out how they look on a WDP.

 

Your car looks awesome man!

 

where did you get it?

 

Tails looks good.. I am waiting for my Anthracite TL to come.. i am looking to change the tails as well..

 

jptl04, your car is definitely one of a kind!

I was pleasantly surprised to see you at the last So Cal meet. I actually didn't know it was you until I walked to the back saw the Ron Jon rear bumper.

Keep up the great work man!

 

what do you need to do to switch tails? is there a lot of work involved?

 

this is what i had to do, got this from the shop manual

i had the RJ rear but the mounting points were the same. loosened not completely removed. i did one side at a time, loosened one side replaced the light put it back and the did the same for the other side i DID NOT COMPLETELY REMOVE THE WHOLE BUMPER.


here it is one side loosened and pulled of enough to get at the mounting bolts


mounting bolts for the tail lights remove them first them the bracket from the light later once its off the car


loosen and remove the four nuts on the mounting boltds behined the light unit, pull back the trunk liner and you'll see them


the light unit is the same remove the four screws on the LED unit


unplug it here


run the connecting wire through the new LED unit same way you removed it, don't forget to switch out all the rubber seals from your old light to your new one, and reassemble your car , took me about a little more than an hour

 

thanks for the details. thats going to help out real well if i decide to get the TL-S tails.

 

just out of curiosity, are these any brighter than the 04-06 tails?

Looks HOT!

 

thanks man, no i think if you have stock 04-06 tails (without) rockblocker film they are the same. i had the rockblocker film on mine so for me, yes! way brighter!

 

thanks for the compliments bro, i had been wanting to attend the previous meet but couldn't. but im glad i made it for this one, saw alot of nice cars there including yours. it was nice to meet you and all the other acura enthusiasts, had a good time, hope we can do it again.

 

Really like what you've done with your TL. I have my 07 Tails coming any day now and am on backorder for the sidemarkers...probably going with the RJ front bumper soon too. Anyways, did you have to do any shaving on the trunk emblems? Did they just come off with some work and TLC?

 

thanks. emblems- 1. heat them up w/ blowdryer 2. take some dental floss and floss those suckers off 3. clean up excess adheasive w/ some goo-gone 4. youre done.

 

Awesome...that'll be done by 6:00! Another question, I am having trouble finding just one piece of that RJ kit and noticed you only have the rear bumper...how did you find the single piece...I am trying to hunt down the front bumper and no skirts or rear?

 

I wasn't a big fan of those tails until I saw them with your RJ rear bumper. Gotta love anthracite!!

 

where did you guys find these 07 parts on hondacuraworld.com? I didn't see any 07 parts there.

 

Thumbs up for the new tail lights, I definitely prefer them over the tinted ones!! Thanks for the installation pics.

 

Hondaacuraworld.com has the 2007 Taillamp conversion for 2004-2006 TL's listed with no pictures...about 4-6 listings from the top. I talked to a guy last week about the sidemarkers and they currently have 14 for the right side but no left side and they should be getting them shortly...be checking constantly because the demand is huge for them right now...my dealership is backordered as everyone is onboard thinking they look wayyyy better.
