Well done!

If this mod was done to a 05 base TL, can you add the ASPEC front lip afterwards or will it get in the way of the fog lights?

You'd have to re-trim the accord fogs if you add a front lip.

Best get the front lip first and only cut once.

Nicolas84

Thanks for the input!

I agree with GP...also, the aspec lip hides the cuts much better and makes it look more OEM.

Can someone tell me if these are direct bulb replacements for the accord fogs? By that, I mean I don't have to hook up the HID's or have the HID relay harness? I have both for the HID conversion, but would rather not have to go through the wiring of that. Especially since I haven't found a thorough DIY for the HID's. It would be great if I could just change the bulbs. $59 is a bit steep, but worth it to get rid of the stock bulb color. Thanks!

Im pretty sure this is a direct fit, but the wiring of the HIDs isn't very hard. It would probably take 30-45 minutes max to wire the HIDs. That is depending on how particular you are about how clean you run wires and all.

You can just buy the LEDs and plug them in as if you were using halogens, I believe.

You don't need an HID ballast (big no no) and you wouldn't need a relay harness...LEDs can't destroy your wiring.

Just plug them in.
The only reason why LEDs in DRL needs a harness and resistors is because the DRL indicator on the instrument panel would come on.

You're okay with the fogs!

Bladehopper82

Awesome. Thanks for the info guys. This will just be easier. Just hope I can sell my HID kit and harness to help pay for these LED's .

guitarplayer16

iTrader: (8)

Yeah HID kits sell real quick.

The only thing with LEDs is the brightness isn't good.

Bladehopper82

That's even better. I never use the stock fogs. I'm just looking for a nice color to make it look better than the stock bulbs as opposed to the functionality. I'm going to order them right now.

guitarplayer16

iTrader: (8)

What colour are you looking for?

Bladehopper82

I'm buying the 6000k. I want white with a hint of blue. I think they will go better with the stock headlights. This is the ones I just purchased.

has anyone done this mod with a CAI installed? I would think having the fog lights at that location would block off air coming into the CAI.

Schweinsteiger11

Yea I have. Doesn't matter.

tonester

iTrader: (1)

I'm thinking about doing this mod, but am worried about them block the air passage to my CAI, defeating the purpose of the intake.

Schweinsteiger11

It won't block airflow. The CAI doesn't do much for performance by itself to notice much a difference anyway. The addition of the fogs isn't going to block the CAI from sucking in air. The performance won't be affected.

Without the fogs, you have plastic in the way of airflow anyway, when you add the fogs, you dremel that out a bit. From what I've read though, it IS a tight fit with a CAI.

Hey,

Im new on here but i have a quick question. After i installed the foglight mod, i noticed my battery was weak and eventually died within a week. I am not sure if i was a coinicedence or not. I also have a sub hooked up to the battery. But has anybody else had any battery problems with their mods?? thanks!!

Schweinsteiger11

If its directly to the battery with no switch or signal wire, its going to constantly draw power from the battery, eventually killing it. From what you said, it sounds like your sub is doing that.

trinklrs

Well, i have the honda accord switch for the fogs installed. And i also have a switch (in cabin) that "should" cut power from battery to my capacitor/amp/sub. So this is where i am confused. But i also tested my battery and it seemed like it had enough power to be used. Maybe i didnt connect everything tightly to the battery, plus i had A LOT of corrosion build up.

Im such a newb

AckTL05

I sell LED ones that are VERY bright for $15 shipped.





I also sell OEM accord fogs is anyone is interested. I also wire the switch to be a plug and play for the TL and add in all the extra wire/connectors/taps/add a fuse and 7.5 fuse.

Hey guys,

I new to this forum and actually this is my first post I have a 2004 TL and I m really interested to get these fogs install. As per this post; it doesn't seem any easy. Anyways, I'm about to order Accord foglights from HondaAccessories.com. Are their fog lights actually OEM ? Do I just need to order the fog light kit and it comes with all the switches, harnesses, trims and so on or do I need to order something extra ? and just for some help and suggestion, which HID kit would go well with WDP/Tan intertior. I have Nokya Hyper Yellow's as a DRL's. Any suggestions would be greatly apprecited.

Thanks

SJ

Sorry guys, Honda accessories doesn't ship to Canada I just checked their site. Does anyone know from where I can order these fogs beside ordering it from the dealer ?

guitarplayer16

iTrader: (8)

Order it from AckTL05. He's sells cheaper than honda accessories and ships to Canada.

If you're from the GTA, I can do the install for you.

sharjeelj

Thanks man. Is it just a fog kit I need to order or there's any extra stuff required ? I'm around Mississauga area. Btw what would be the bulb size for the fogs so I can order HID kit at the same time. I m looking for something 3000k, which brand is reputable ?

Thanks,

SJ

sixsixfour

bulbs would be H11.

guitarplayer16

iTrader: (8)

Order the fog kit from AckTL05 that comes with everything plug and play and prewired.

If not, you'd have to go to canadian tire to buy wires, an inline fuse, splice connector, and lots of butt connectors and such.

AckTL05's pre-wired kit comes with all that.

As stated, the HID you'd need is H11.

Cheers

sharjeelj

Thank you ! Just placed my order.

No problem!

Depending on how long it takes to ship, I'd be able to give you a hand.
I'm back to Ottawa on January 6th. Just home for the Christmas break!

Message me if you need any help or guidance.
