Just Bought a TSX for the GF. - Acura Forum

bavboym3 · 12-10-07, 12:08 PM

My GF needed a new car, so I got her a Black/Black 04 TSX. She is paying for it, but im going to surprise her with it on X-mas.

So far Ive ordered.

Ipod Kit
Lip Spoiler
Remote Start

I am looking for a couple more small things for it. Does anyone know the best way to get rid of that amber corner light? I hate seeing the amber in the fron headlight. Any DIY threads on this?

Where is the best place to find parts for these cars?

Thanks

I can't seem to get any help on this forum.. Is it new?

There was talk about getting enough people together for a group buy so that a shop would make the clear corners for us. I dont think there was enough people interested, so that never happened. I also do not like the orange reflector, but you can buy the Euro-Accord light in Japan which does not have the orange reflector, but has the clear reflector. The Euro-Accord one is pricey though. I believe they are like 5-600 bucks a headlight assembly. The TSX headlight is a sealed unit, which makes it even harder to just change reflectors. Hope this helped and welcome to the forum.

Welcome to AW!

As redlight said, the best bet is to get yourself a pair of the JDM headlights. Changing the reflector requires touchy handling, as you have to "bake" the headlights to soften the glue that holds the housing.

Hmmm.. I can't stand amber. I wonder if someone can do this for a charge.

I blacked out the grills, tinted the windows, and put a lip spoiler on the car.. ill post pics when it gets warmer out.

These cars look nice with some springs.
