Hey MEKO, totally missed this thread. thank you for posting! 
Looks great...for any interested there's an ebay seller that is selling lexan replacement lenses for your accord fogs with cracks. I just swapped mine out...cost me $25. Got some other things planned for mine but I'll use this thread for guidance for Austin's install for sure.

Install
I am sorry everyone and J.
Kind of took long to tackle these fogs.
Yesterday I received my new bulbs and today I installed the fogs.
I was amazed with the service of HIDEXTRA, I showed them the pictures. He said it's not 5K, we are sending you new ones right away.
Got them and pure white output
Install was easy, but I am not really happy with the output.
Remember I was mentionening that it's so sensitive to disturb the bi-xenon cutoff, you have to either aim it a little low or exactly straight.
I kind of aimed it to the ground, ok It doesn't screw the cutoff but there is so much glare, guessing it's because of HIDs
but even with these HIDs they don't brighten the road like what I wanted
Will report after a night Highway drive as well..
May be I didn't notice the 5k brightness in city with lights everywhere
------------------
5K
Comes out bluish but when you turn on the lights, not even after 2 seconds both of them are exact match
Sunday
I kind of did a bad job on the driver side (1st try)
No I didn't take out the fenders, because I didn't want to remove the A-Spec
You have to trim or remove that rear section, exactly where I am holding the dremel
So fog unit moves back and fits
Like this
Same with the other side
You will see where the fog unit touches and just go slowly by triming it
That's what kind of took time
Back side. Opened that little gap for the CAI
Accord fog guys
How do you keep the fog in place? Ok I trimmed the fenders so that sides could go in and hold the fog unit but I don't feel safe with that
Same with this as well
Right side
If the driver side took 10 seconds, this side took only 3 seconds
Have to touch up some spots on the driver side
Yup, kills the drivers on the sides
That glare
----
I am standing exactly here
Take a look at my back. WTH???? That shadow
Even if I put normal bulbs there, same thing is going to happen anyway. That's where reflector throws the output at
That's normal? I don't think so
Take a look at these, I didn't even do perfect fitment. What I am saying by that, left the top parts a little bit outer than the edges of the frame, so it aimes to the ground
So that's all the info I could grab out from these Inspire Fogs.
Hope helps

holy smokes that's a lot of glare
fogs do look good =)
I mount accord fogs by putting a screw through the side.
Very simple. Works for every install that I've done.
I would have mounted the fogs so that they are more flush with the bumper and sit on top of the a-spec lip, which points the light more forward than onto the sides, to help with the glare on the side you're getting.

Thanks SB
Ohh I got you...screw will work
Will take it out and try to fix it, flush look might help, that's right.
Thanks GP

I basically used JB weld to mount fogs on the fog grill. No screw or anything needed. For you guys it should be very sturdy since you still have all the clips holes for the grill on your bumper. Mine were cut out to fit the accord fogs so they are missing now but like I said just jb weld inspire fogs into the grille housing then install on car just as if you were putting on back the grille stock.

If you don't have aspec yet...that is your first mod. The purchase of any supporting mods prior to purchase of said aspec will not be tolerated by the members or moderators of acurazine.
Sorry, not sure where to purchase, but I'm pretty sure Austin and Meko got them off of a site that wasn't ebay. I could be wrong though.

As rockstar143 said, off of a site that I mentioned in the first post.
Austin bought them from same place also.
Haven't seen any Inspire without an A-Spec kit

LOL I love modding. I find that using some tiny screws to mount the fogs grill gives a cleaner fit than JB weld. I took some pics. I figure since I have everything torn apart might as well just change my pressure switches again. fun fun

Looks good TLDude!
I still remember the PMs about the accord fogs and now you're onto inspire fogs haha!
These fogs look so damn nice and aggressive but I don't think my car can pull it off without being low.
