2009 Sedan Tail Lights

carlos_fb · 02-15-2009, 04:23 PM

I have a 2008 Sedan and I was wondering if there's any modification required to install the 2009 tails? I believe the turn signal bulb is orange in the 09.

UPDATE
--------

Just in case somebody else is interested in doing this. I just swapped the lights and they fit perfectly. However, it is not a direct fit, the blinker sockets and obviously the amber bulbs are different. About $25 in parts.

Here are the part numbers:

33514-S2R-003 - Sockets x2
33303-S2R-003 - Bulbs x2

Same light housing, like u said the turn signal bulb is orange instead of red. If you were installing JDM tails then you would need to do modifications.

Look here same light housing

Can I just replace the bulb without the housing?

The housing is still red, though. I don't think putting an orange bulb will make any difference.

i've seen someone put amber leds behind a red lense and it does have a different look compared to the rest of the red lights but it wont be the normal amber you're used to.
