I was just checking out the Hoen site ... what size bulb are they suggesting for the side markers? C5W?

You owned a Honda! Period!

Feels like ****, doesn't it?

OK, so we have an Acura MDX. Does that count? Funny, I don't feel like sh*t.

I admit.... I owned one ONCE - I swore off the brand and have NO trouble telling everyone

"I dont care if they are the best car in the world, I will NEVER own another one"

I will post a pic so you can

Thanks Soverystout. The Hoen folks responded with the same. They are officially on order.

C'mon Ed! I would buy an S2000 as a DD if I could fit. My Prelude was a great car.... well.... as good as any honda could be.... well.... wait, why do I want an S2000?

Off topic, would you recommend the 997 shifter setup as opposed to the B&M SSK? Have you driven both?

Thanks,

Jim

My wife (W1) gave me an ultimatum the day I came down the driveway in my used 500 Interceptor...the bike goes or I go. It wasn't an easy decision to make, I said, "can I keep the bike for one year"? She said yes...12 months almost to the day, I resold it and made a profit. So YES, I did own a HONDA, happy Tim?

So I have some images from my side marker updates. I was originally a bit skeptical. But now I realize the error of my ways. These look much better. Check pics below. Also, this is a super easy upgrade.

We knew you would come around, eventually! The clears look so much better, especially on grey, silver and dark colored cars.

It really does make a difference... seeing that amber bulb in there looks like a job only half done...

Congrats!

Haven't changed the bulbs out yet. Next task for me! I assume the Hoen chromiums are the way to go?
