I own a 2002 TL Type-S My lenses were dreadfully oxidized (again), and had already been resurfaced twice. So I finally decided to bite the bullet and do a full lens + bulb replacement on both sides. I did the full bumper cover removal and did both full lens housings, all bulbs, and both ballasts. The ballasts with igniters were $62 for the pair and came with 6K bulbs, the lens housings were $150 for the pair. Took about 90min, was tedious, but doable solo. I happened to have the security-torx bit in my tool arsenal for the bulb caps, so that wasn't a problem. $230 including shipping and I have *beautiful* new lenses and bulbs. I did have to properly aim-adjust them once done, but I expected that. Acura wanted $1800 to do both sides. I told them to pound sand.
I didn’t gene have to take my belt off mine snapped!!😃 just went out and bought an alternator because I thought that was my issue, turns out I got a missing serp belt🤦♂️😂FIRST TIME IM WORKING ON MY CAR HERE GUYS, should’ve actually idk maybe inspected to see if my belt was even on there before I bought the alternator but hey ya live ya learn
Just did this on an 02 TL Type S with 182K miles. I didn't take off the timing belt cover. I took off the alternator electrical stand, moved the electrical out of the way, I removed the oil dip stick, I stuffed the hole under the bolt with a paper towel in case I dropped the screw to catch it. I used a skinny 10mm wrench closed end with a slight bend. It only gave me a few degrees of rotation to take a long screw out so I was very patient. It's a bitch of a job but certainly doable with the right wrench and can do attitude. I think a short 10mm closed wrench might work even better.
Thank you sir you made this super simple for me. I was surprised to see my filter was barely dirty considering I've had the car 6 years and never changed it once lol. And I do all my own oil changes and stuff so I know it wasn't changed at a shop or anything either.
@chriswilson3964 So I got to the 3rd spark plug and the head of the ignition coil just fell off. The rest of the coil is stuck in there. Any suggestions how I could remove it?
If your wheel is torqued appropriately than there really is absolutely no need for these retaining screws if you do a Google search and might tell you that not having them could result in vibration but that's absolute nonsense

Thank you! I had this video up while replacing mine on the 02. Been fixing a lot of smaller issues on my own thanks to videos like these. No more getting scammed by the mechanics lol! Almost at 200k miles, keeping her going as long as I can.
Hi I put something valuable in the right storage area of my trunk. I accidentally pushed it forward when trying to get it. Is there anyway it could of fallen out?
Hi I have a question, I've been reading everywhere that when you do break pads you need to resurface the brake disc, Is this true?? I didn't see you resurface the brake discs did this affect your driving in any way?? Also how can you check if your bake discs need resurfacing???
