TSX 05 Fog light Install? Easy or Hard?
just wanted to ask how hard is it to install fog lights on my tsx by myself?
like, do i have to take off bumper? do i have to remove a lot of bolts/screws? am i looking at 2-3 hours or 1 hour?
i'm planning to get the eBay oem kit because I want the accord style button on the dash. i don't want to change swapping the stick control like the oem.
i like the thought of having the fog light on by itself sometimes.
thanks

Is this the kit that you want to buy?
The description says that it comes with an on off switch. Do you think it's am OEM Looking switch that goes into the empty slots? Or is it just a regular tacky on off switch? Also, do you think the wiring harnesses that come with the lights allow the lights to shut off with the ignition?
thanks

Unless it has the OEM stalk replacement, they aren't OEM fogs, so the wiring is different. I did the OEM fog install myself and it wasn't difficult; on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being easy and 10 meaning let Acura do it, I give it a 5. Taking the bumper off is easy, but getting to the back of the fuse box under the hood can be a bit testy. Acutally, getting the new stalk in is a PITA. After that it is simple.
