Finally I fixed my fog light...sort of...
Well after much diliberation, I finally bought the Piaa Fog lights (sorry no installation photos). I would not recommend these to anyone else. It took me the better part of a day to fabricate brakets and mounts to put them where the stock fogs go. Plus they are soooo much smaller than the OEM fogs. I took a couple pics of the piaa fog lights mounted on the car so you can see what they look like.






I will try to take more pics at night.

Ortiz, who wouldn't recommend them but still thinks they look really nice.

You could probably fabricate a cover to fill in the gap between the PIAA's and the OEM opening.

I bought the Mr. Piaa ones. However the pics of the TSX OEM lights are a bit misleading. Use my pics as reference and they are not for the novice installer (for a TSX install).

Accsuperstar called it one that one. It is the reflection of the flash.

the reason he doesn't reply is because it is not a direct fit and is a pain in the a$$ to get them to fit. Once again this install is not for the novice installer.

I custom made a steel bracket that mounts to the bumper. The old OEM brackets could not be used. But I was able to use the OEM wireing kit (making a homemade connector for the fog lights).
