OEM fog lights
Im new to this stuff so i really need to some help as to where to go for these. I've already called a ton of Junkyards to no avail. My acura dealership doesn't sell them anymore for some reason. Ebay hasen't had anything aside from those fugly aftermarket ones.
I've heared they are very rare and can be a bit pricey. Does anybody know where or what i can do to find these? Thanks.

I just got the OEM kit and it comes with the lights, the wiring harnesses, the switch, and the installation instructions. Haven't gotten around to installing yet but it will probably be done sometime this weekend.

But they don't actually have them in stock. They had them shipped from NC.

Yeah, those websites kinda seem sketchy to me. Id really like to see pictures first or hear from someone whos bought from them.
Or.
Could someone ask their Acura dealership if they still sell them? Maybe if we all bought some they could sell. I know i'd feel much safer.

do the factory fog lights only turn on with the headlights?
do the factory fog lights only work when the low beams are on?
can you run the fogs with no other lights on?
what bulbs do the fogs use?

www.acuraautomotiveparts.com is not a sketchy place. I have order lots of little stuff through them and have been totaly satisfied. I'm sure there are other people that will also have good things to say.

Well, i just called this acrua dealership in atlanta that sells acrua parts and apparentley they just recentley ran out of them. He explained to me that once they stop producing the model they no longer produce accessories. Recentley they ran out (during the summer) and don't sell them anymore. All these websites that say they have them don't anymore so theres virtually no way we can get them
I still REALLY want those damn lights. I say we get about 20 or so of us to band together and pitch them an idea to get some more out of their warehouses or whatever. Or if someone around here's Acura dealership still has them then maybe they could help us out.

If you really want em your probably gonna have to pay full price. Try calling some acura dealers to see if they have them or if they can put out a bulletin that they want them. Thats what they did on my and it took like 2 weeks until someone came up with them. Unfortunately I think patience and full price are what its gonna take.

Yeah I did it myself. If you follow the directions that come with the kit its really easy. Shows everything step by step.
I know I need clear corners. They're next on the list...Reminds me I need to update my signature.

Can anyone tell me the size of the OEM fog lights? I'll probably end up getting aftermarket fogs because the OEM's are so expensive, but I want the size to be close as possible.

Ahh, so the switch is the only issue? If so im sure i could just trim it a bit. Or I could possibly just get a 99 switch..Would that work you think?
