March 16 2006: Xenon Plasma 9005 Highbeams

I got my Xenon Plasma highbeams installed yesterday (the driver's side highbeam was a bitch to replace).

Here are some pics (I know my headlights are incredibly dirty):

January 31 2006: Fog Light Mod

Before, I could not turn on the fog lights without turning on the HID headlights/lowbeams on. I spliced 2 wires together that allowed me turn on the fog lights without the HIDs but with the parking lights on the second setting. pics:

November 2 2005: Blue LEDs

Just installed my LEDs for the Dome and Courtesy Door Lights, I find the Dome lit too dim for my taste (it looks really cool in person though), I am going to exchange the Blue Dome LED for a Hyper-White LED. The LED on the doors are really bright, brighter than stock.

*** Took TL to Acura2000 dealer Saturday June 4 2005 (9:00 AM)***

Acura2000 said they will replace my transmission free of charge with a 'new' rebuilt transmission since it is still under 100,000 Miles/7 yrs. warranty. Only thing they didn't provide me with is a rental car.

They will order Parts on Monday, and I can pick up my car with the 'new' rebuilt tranny on Wednesday.

*** Got TL back from Acura2000 dealer Thursday June 9 2005 (5:15 PM)***

Everything runs smoothly, but TL was extremely dirrrty!
Everything resets (due to the disconnection of battery), I had to set my memory seat again, the clock and punch in the Acura Radio Code to turn on the headunit.

yea the front lip mod is pretty easy... just make sure you use screws and not some liquid nails like me... liquid nails and 120mph is not a good combo lol... flew off the next day on the freeway
