Can I get xenon HID foglights on an '06 TSX? I know Acura doesn't offer this accessory, but there has to be a good way to find some. Does anybody recommend any particular kind or place to get them. I would hope they have the same color discharge as the headlights.


Thanx...

You might blind the oncoming vehicles for the HID fog lights if you get the same ones for the headlights. The driver side HIDs are slightly raised due to the blindness problem of the oncoming vehicles.

You can install after market kits, but I don't believe they are street legal.....but people do it anyway. I have yellow, 3000K, HID light bulbs in my factory fog lights.

hey bro i got hid fog lights.. i installed 6000k .. and the 6000k are a lil bit bluer but not noticeable from a distance.. im switching the fog lights to the oem hid's now to perfect match them.....i order the oem hid and they should b cuming in about a week or so.. ill snap pictures of both of them so u could compare them..

i got the 3000k h11 hids in my factory fogs... 3000k is the way to go... besides, the lower on the k scale the brighter (more lumens) they are... and the color seems to alternate between yellow and blue depending on the distance at which you look at them from... but the beam on the ground is deep yellow...

There are plenty of threads about this. Do a search


This is true, but only to a point. Then as you go down further the light output decreases. Max output is around 4300 K, which is why it's the stock color temperature for our HID headlights and those of most other cars with HIDs.

If you live in a place with a lot of fog I would highly reccomend not changing the bulbs for safety reasons. Fog lights are yellow for a reason - it cuts through fog well. White light in fog is about the worst thing you can have.

It does look tight though!

This is true, but if you are using fogs in the fog.... you mainly need it to shoot close and wide..... and be yellow..(cuts through fog well and doesnt reflect back into your eyes as much). its not likely that youll need fogs to shoot far..... but good point tommy.. 4300k is mostly widely used for max output...

^^what is exactly plug and play about these? what do you need to do to install?

TommySalami

With a lot of them, you just plug the ballast into where you plugged the stock bulbs in, plug the new hid bulbs into the ballasts, and you're set

there are a bunch of these kits on ebay...but does anyone know any reputable sellers on there? I have been thinking about doing this mod lately since my hoens don't exactly color match any more.

Can you tell me some good trust-worthy companies, and also which kits are good (brand names, etc). I'm just worried about getting a kit and having it burn out. I don't want to get them off ebay... I don't trust ebay lights. I would prefer brand new ones... not used.
