I'm not sure yet. Have you done anything to your headlights?

The mods that I have done to my headlights are I bought new bulbs for the actual headlight portion of the headlights. I did the parking/corner light and fog light mod (that mod took me like 5 minutes to do). Then I have LEDs in the parking and corner lights.

Can you recommend something to clean the lens part of my headlights? They're pretty dirty. They have that "fog" looking kind of thing at the top. If you know what I'm talking about.

You can sand them down, polish, and buff them or you could get one from a salvage yard in your area.

If you're planning to mod your car I would def take Big Balla's suggestion by doing it yourself, while you've got them apart you can paint the inside to get a JDM look; I think that would look sick on a silver TL.

What he means is if you open the headlights to clean it out that you should just blackout the headlights because then it would look sick.

Nice car. From your pics it looks like you have original sparkplug wires. There is an extended service emmisions coverage on our cars that will get you free wires, plugs, distributor cap and oil change before 150,000 miles. Just call your Acura dealer and they will hook you up.
Modifying is the fun part, but maintenance will make the car run right so you can enjoy the upgrades. What about cabin filter replace and refrigerant check for A/C? Love how cool my 2.5TL gets after freon change down here in Socal.

Thanks, man. I'll see about the new wires. I'm still doing a ton of mods.
