I dont' have a civ anymore. haha. but yea, i did it on the Civ, and i wouldn't mind doing it with someone else's help this time around.

I have a Acura CL Type-S. i assume it should be a similar process.

I don't see how it can be harder than on a civic. it's only a bigger car. I think the acura guys are just slow.

The toughest part of clearing headlights on a civic was taking off the bumper and that wasn't even that hard. If you can get your front bumper off then it's easy going after that.

What are you running for bulbs now that your headlights are cleared?

yeah, I have APC titanium amber bulbs for my turn signal bulbs now, but I'm thinking of just goin white all over. But for now I'm saving my $$ for rims and a kit at the end of this month so lights will have to wait.
