of what? my tail lights? It looks pretty okay, but the side markers are pink -.- which is starting to annoy me.

 

Are you sure you have an 03?

 

yeah i got the title right here. i think the previous owner had ap2 tails on it, and now he got some 00 tails on it since he prolly couldn't find the 03s. ionoe, but it is a MY03, since it got the glass rear wind shield, and it says it on my title. haha

 

If you are wondering the year, just check the tenth digit on your VIN.

 

FYI... you can find used tail lights on ebay for cheap. I paid $100 shipped for a pair.

 

I don't know if this applies to an MY03, but your best bet is to take it into a Honda dealer and talk to the service rep. about them covering it as a safety repair. I know folks have had this work done on MY00 cars for free (out of warrantee).

 

I agree with Chaz.... the recall was for MY2000 - 2001. This is the first instance I have heard on MY2002 and on having the fading issue.

 

After the dealership replaces the taillights for free, some one gets ahold of the old ones and tries to sell them on Ebay. I see them on there all the time for $10-20, the ones that are all faded. I'm sure the previous owner of your car sold the AP2s for a few hundred bucks and then spent 10 on the warranty replaced lights that he put on your car. i seriously doubt Honda's going to pay for them unless you can somehow trick them into thinking your car came with those.

I'm bet Honda's already paid to replace that exact set of taillights once before. Good luck,

Jason,

That's possible, I guess, but there's one way to tell... Is there a chrome ring around the two circular enclosures, lilmrtinnie? If so, these are indeed MY02 or MY03 tail lights, and are probably NOT warrantee replacments. And, as far as I know, these are not subject to the warrantee repair, but they shouldn't be fading either.
