Hey everyone,

I'm getting ready to buy a new 06 TSX AT W/ NAVI in a couple days. I was curious to know if anyone knew if the foglights can be turned on/off or if they come on no matter what when you turn your HIDS on? THANKS, JOSH

 

You can turn the fogs on and off(switch on the headlamp lever), they don't come on automatically when you turn on you HIDs.

 

That's what I figured. Thanks. I'm excited though because I'm going to pick up my TSX tonight

 

Don't forget to post pictures of your car!!

What color combo did you decide to go with?

 

Only downside to the fogs is they can only be on when the headlights are.

 

That shouldn't be too hard to fix.

 

It actually is probably pretty hard to fix...

but can you have them on when you have just 1 click on the headlight knob? (i think its called parking lights or something)

 

Decided to go with Allabaster Silver Metallic w/ Quartz Interior.

 

Great colour choice. I look forward to seeing your pics so let me be the first to say:



Excited

 

Nope... the foglights will be on only if the HID is on. Not while when you switch on the parking lights.

 

Finally someone decides to get that color combo! That's the same combo I will be getting in a couple of months.

Did you pick your car up today after all?

 

No I pick it up today because those fucking bastards at the bank wouldn't approve me till today...oh well can't complain because im still getting the car. Im a little pissed though because they put that protection pkg on and I didnt know it so I bitched at the sales manager and they took it off. Why do they put that shit on anyways? Even though im not paying retail I still think it's a waste of money. IMO I think mud guards make you look like your in your late 50's...

 

Maybe so, but I would expect that Acura just uses the line powering the HIDs to also feed power to the relay that allows the fog to be turned on. If so, just locate that relay and rewire it to power it anytime the ignition is on -- that way the fog switch in the cabin works without the HIDs on.

 

When you take pictures of your new car, do them in daylight PLZ...

 

Mud Guards only belong on one type of vehicle: SUVs.

they have no place on our car, and they really don't even do anything.

i hate them. so ugly.

so did they give you the protection package for free, or literally just took everything out of the car (all seasons? wheel locks? mud guards?)

 

I like mine and think that they look okay and they will keep my TSX cleaner and more stone chip free. ( I have them on my SUV as well)

Mud Guards





Excited

 

My mud guards, wheel locks, and floor mats came free, sooooo....... couln't find the heart to say no. Gosh! *btw honestly, I think they're really not that big of a difference when you look at it.......... but it'll keep some rocks away o.O*

 

How's the new ride volcomred05 ?

No pictures for us yet?

 

personally i would much rather have the guards than have the sides of my car all chipped up. besides so many cars have them its almost commonplace. and another reason i like the black TSX they blend in perfectly.
my friend went to 3M school and has a whole roll of clearbra and i think we are gonna line the whole side skirts with it as well as the entire front bumper and 18 " of the hood

 

in all the cars i've had, i've never had all these chips/scratches that mud guards are supposedly preventing. i fully understand the tires kick up rocks, but even living in pennsylvania with huge rock salt on the road all winter, i just don't think it's that big of an issue. mud guards, if you don't mind how they look, are a nice and cheap way to keep the car clean, and i guess they prevent some minor scratching, but i just don't like them on a car. look fine on an SUV though.
