lights / indicators difference

[josewick]

Are they all the same from 1991 - 1999?? Front and rear??

Just like to know if there is a facelift version within those years before the "non pop up" came out.. (If there is, whast the difference?)

thanks

there is no difference within each individual market during the period 91-01 (NA-1), but there are differences between them for the full period between markets

US has the lightest tint on the rear clusters plus a 3rd brake light in the spoiler, plus reflective side markers in the front and rear wings (fenders)
Europe has a slightly darker tint, no 3rd brake light (although this was added in later models) and no side markers and no front foglights
Japan has a much darker tint, no 3rd brake light, no side markers and no front or rear foglights

also, the US clusters have an Acura badge on, whilst the rest are Honda

[josewick]

But they will all fit vice versa??

[simonprelude]

I think fit will be fine vice versa, however both units would need replacing for it to look even.

^^ agreed, don't forget the centre piece too on the rear clusters, it would look odd unless all 3 sections were of the same tint.

the 3rd brake light is of the same tint as the US (Acura) clusters, i.e. the lightest, but it doesn't look out of place when used with the Euro/UK clusters.

Excuse my ignorance but are facelifts NA2 and popups NA1??

This ad confused me into thinking that NA2s were maybe when the 3.2s came out???

my understanding is that the fixed headlight versions - 2002+ are the NA-2 whilst the pop-up headlight versions - 1991-2001 are the NA-1

I could be wrong though

Mine is a Uk 2001 car and has the third brake light in the spoiler :?

Dunno about the tint but it does look darker to me than an earlier car I looked at, but that could have been the down to the light on the different days.

good point - I'll edit my post above to reflect this

[simonprelude]

I'm half confused by half the NA stuff.

Original NA1, 3.2 is an NA2, have heard fixed headlight referred to as an NA3 though ??

Anyone want to confirm this, it is part of the chassis number and will be obvious.

[markc]

All 3.2ltr 6spd cars are "NA2's" and will have NA2 in the chassis number. All the earlier 3.0ltr 5spd cars have NA1 in the chassis number.

I believe production of the revised NA2 designated cars started in early 1997, although UK sales didn't start until very late 1997, and went through to early 2002 when the facelifted non pop-up headlamp models came along.

These facelifted cars are still designated NA2. :? Probably because except for the styling tweeks to the nose/tail and the differant wheels they are mechanically identical to the pre-facelift 3.2's
Some magazine reports have claimed that facelifted cars have slightly differant springs and dampers but I'm not sure that this is true?

The mist lamp and reverse lamp (moulded in the lens) is on the other side on my car, (because I drive on the correct side of the road. :P )
So I guess the rear lenses will have different part numbers for US/Europe compared the UK/Japan/Oz not only because of the tint
