I have an 04' am wanting to put the clear tail and turn signal lens that come on the 06' and above. Other than purchasing them through Honda which I believe is rather expensive, does anyone have any clue to a website that sells aftermarket?

+1 anyone know of a good place to get the lenses and bulbs?

Check with member JoeW. He may be able to hook you up.


Then Ron Ayers or Service Honda if JoeW can't.

If you are still looking for input....
here are my pics on photobucket. The front turn signals aren't bad. The rear combo was a bit more tricky, though.

I'll be honest, it's been a few months and I don't remember it all. For the rear, I left the old plugs to fit the stock sockets and simply tapped into the existing wires. If I ever choose to replace my stock items, I can. It wasn't a simple "remove bolt and install new" kind of job, but I didn't feel that it was that difficult to do. I know that others used a heat gun and separated the housing from the lens... I found that to be more a pain in the arse. The glue was super sticky and I never could get them to separate. I didn't want to force it, so that's why I chose the method that I did.

For the lenses, I got them from Service Honda. (www.servicehonda.com)

Hope this helped!

The fsd undertail does not require hacking away at the frame. I just shaved off about an inch from the turn signal housing. But you do have to grind down some to the tabs on the tail fairing.
