Perhaps there's a fuze or something of that sort to power the 2 ambient lights? The rest of the door receives power as usual but the 2 lights just don't want to switch on
Installed the A spec Tech door harness and ambient lighting. Very annoying process. The 2 lights in the door don't want to turn on which leads me to believe the regular A spec just isn't programmed to supply power to the extra connections
Yeah, I asked the Acura parts guy. He let me know it'd be easier and cheaper to just straight up switch the entire door harness as the A spec non tech doesn't include the 2 terminal joints for the ambient piping as well as the door handle. The entire harness per door is about 90 CAD so it could...
Took a better look at the door assembly. Seems like there's only one power source for the lights. I'm assuming there must be an extender terminal for the light strip and door handle as the one provided doesn't reach either.
Thanks for the help! I think you're right about the electrical tape. I went to my friend who works at Acura parts to order the lights and he said the wiring diagrams seem to all be there and that I shouldn't have to order the pigtails, etc, as it should be plug and play.
Thank you for your guide and input! I plan on taking the door apart completely later and doing an indepth dive into it to see if I can find any power points for the connector. I took a look at the dreamshop comparisons for the door panel and it seems like the assembly is pretty much 1:1 although...
Hey guys! Just moved over from the Civic 11th Gen forum...
I've been itching at tackling the ambient lighting in my a spec non tech/elite and hopefully install the regular white ambient lights. Just wanted to know if the ambient strip itself is a seperate part or not. It appears that the a spec...
