Red signal in rear on 08 and now is clear for the newer model

aarong_hch · 06-30-2009, 07:46 PM

I have an 08 HCH and the rear signal is red and on the newer 09 is clear with amber bulbs. Is there a way to take the red out and make it amber? If you do please direct me to the correct link. Sorry i do not have time at work or home to look for a DIY. Thanks in advance.

Tail lights.

no, its the housing itself which is clear.

You will need to switch to the 2009 rear outer tail lights, sockets and amber bulbs. I did the swap on my 2007 Si Sedan and the HCH should be no different.

Thread on the information and part numbers needed provided by myself.

Damn i don't really want to buy the 09 parts. I thought there was a DIY somewhere, i guess not. Thanks guys...i guess i either have to live with it or rent an 09 HCH and do a swap.
