I did. They shipped me a pair of USDM Accord ones. Shipped it back, took over 2 months to get my refund. I called them 3-4 times to complained to get my refund. But I think I just got unlucky, let me know how you are doing with urs if u order a pair.

Should have searched a bit more before ordering.

Here is a complete guide of the three different harnesses that are shipped out through ebay.

Find the item on ebay with the correct wiring harness shown in the pictures, then contact the ebay seller to confirm and guarantee that you will receive the exact harness shown in the pictures.

hey did you ever figure out how to tweak it?

I have the same problem, i did get it to work for about a week; i tapped the blue/yellow wire(fog itself power) to the red wire(switch power), it worked, but it ended up putting out too much power to the switch causing the switch to kind of melt and stop working, i mailed ebay guy and he sent me a new one. I'm back to the position on what wire to tap the blue/yellow wire to.

+1 I'm looking for a good set of replacement lights too. Some of the ones I've seen on ebay look cheap, and the feedback on some of the sellers have me a bit wary.

I noticed the other day I have a cracked fog light on the left side of my '06. I'd like to replace them with some yellow lights. It doesn't make much sense to replace the entire units. Does anyone sell just the lenses?

Yep. I got mine from k2motor. Switch fits - only problem is that it's lit orange instead of green. Not a big deal for me, and I didn't really care to change it.

Only other complaint I had with it was that the foglight molding (that clips into the bumper cover) had a flimsy clip on it and it snapped off pretty easily. I ended up drilling a hole and screwing it down, so the light wouldn't fall out.

Can't beat the price though, especially compared to what Acura wants for an OEM set.

I bought mine from k2motor and it seems that the wiring isn't long enough, I've installed the lights but have yet to take a crack at the wiring, I might be doing it really soon so I'll post up based on my real experience once its complete.

Wow... I'm in the same exact position. I ordered my fogs from k2motors on ebay as well, but the wiring is not matching up. They're on an '05 TSX. There is no connection points to some of the wires from the jdm fogs. I thought this was suppose to be direct fit because this car does come with the foglight option... meaning, just plug the wires into the awaiting receptors in the car. I hope someone can figure out an option and keep us posted.

I'm in the same boat guys. I have the foglights installed, relay screwed in, one of the wires into the relay under the hood. I installed the cabin switch and plugged two harnesses into the fuse relay under the dash, the switch is lit, but no foglights. I think one of the wires from inside the cabin have to connect to the foglight harness on the outside. The link below are the details to my install.
