Fog Lights

This is for anyone whos got fog lights on there TSX,
i was just wondering if there is a seperate switch to turn them on or are they built in the turn dial switch for the head lights? and can you turn them on by themself? without turning on the headlights? Thanks...
Dont know weither to get a TSX or an IS300 such a hard decsion,,,,, the IS300 has the speed and handling but the interior is kinda ugly looking and everyone has got one plus its more expensive and the TSX has the handleing but its alot slower but the interior is nice except for that ugly silver door look thing on the passengers side but anyway its also a little cheaper so i dont know?????

there's a ring around the left stalk (the part that you use to turn on lights and turn signals). the fogs are linked to the headlights, so they only go on when the headlights are on. i'm pretty sure if you really tried to, you can hook it up to just the parking lights, but why try and screw things up. another thing, as much as i like the fogs, they're yellowish, not white, if you get the fogs, you'd probably want to change the bulbs to match the HIDs.

i wouldn't say the tsx is slower. i am wholly satisfied with the tsx, and its probably about a half second to maybe a lil more slower than is300. plus interior of is300 is small as hell in the back, not much use back there, may as well get a two door. Value of the TSX is amazing, its not a overpriced accord. plus, with the tsx since the production is fairly lower in comparison to the is300, there is a small level of exclusivity (small) i've only seen maybe 10 on the road in the past year.

hope that helps a little.

Thanks,, so that sucks, you cant have the HID headlights on alone? i mean there is no option to turn off the foglights while your headlights are on?

not really sure what silver thing you're talking about, could you be more descriptive? do you mean the metallic strip that stretches from the door panels onto the dash?

The power door lock switch on the drivers side looks good. But it doesn't match the drivers side.

i personally don't even notice... it doesn't stick out... IS300 interior looks like ass... and the interior is something you have to live with every time u drive the car


my 2 cents
