Honda Accord 2 door Tailights

BACK TO DIY 2000 TECH SUMMARY

Introduction:
This is an autotoys.com installation. One of several hundred by the staff of autotoys.com
This article is a sample of knowledge gained by working on real cars for over 25 years.
Online for over 17+ years, when you buy a product from us, we give you real support when you need it.
Instant access to answers through our customer forums. With thousands of customers, avoid delays, errors and miscalculations in your installation.. buy from autotoys.com - your outlet for car audio, car alarms and auto accessories.

Products:
If you have an interest in any of the products in this article, everything featured (electrical tape, connectors, radio, alarm, wire ties, rca cables, diodes, screws --- everything is available 'now' (FOR SALE!) through our storefront). Remember, there may be many manufacturers out there who sell similar products as the ones featured in our articles, but if you want a problem-free smooth professional install, your only guarantee is to buy the same parts we use (see our storefront). Any slight difference in any of the parts and your install is ruined (plus you won't have access to our post sale support or forums). Especially important for alarm, radio and OEM changer products.

Sales People (be careful!):
Everyday, we get dozens of requests through our chat & ticket support system, request for forum passwords, questions on installation problems or questions. We can only focus on questions from our customers. The questions are simple.. the answers are simple - but these people, because they did not buy from AUTOTOYS.COM cannot get an answer. Dont make a mistake by buying through auctions, fly by night operations or new pop up websites who are just a voice over the phone (a sales person) with absolutely NO EXPERIENCE.

No experience installing in cars, no experience what-so-ever! They barely know the products they sell! Don't make that mistake! Make sure your purchase is from autotoys.com. These articles are proof we know what we are doing and that we WORK IN CARS! We work on the newest cars with the newest products.

TIP: When removing your lights, be careful NOT TO SCRATCH your paint here!! (especially if you have a dark color car)

Remove the harness and bulb assembly from the original lights

Notice the EMPTY hole for the reflector. HMMMM!

Maybe a pair of strobes will fit in there for race or off road use at the track.

You need a gasket. Notice the GAP

Only our kit comes with FACTORY SIZED gaskets. See it applied!

I KNOW YOU LIKE IT!

And its SAE DOT STREET LEGAL and stamped on the housing, just point that out to the inspection stations and the officers -if- you get pulled over.

Notice the way the factory gasket is on the original light

Apply our gasket in the same fashion, shown here

Well, thats it. Thats the 2 PC version, now on to show you how to install the CENTER CLEAR lens if you chose to buy our 4 PC version. LOTS OF 8 MMS! Here are the steps below, some of them are hidden.

Well, thats how it looks with the clear center piece. Which do you like better, factoy center or white center? You choose. The 2 pc is cheaper and you may like the factory red better, your choice! We have both.
