2002 and 03 owners?

Do you wish your car had driving lamps or better yet, fog lamps like the 01's. I think it's BS that Acura didn't put them in (but I own a 01 so....

I like them on my 02 better than without on the 03. But I would rather have real fogs, with a switch like the TL does.

if they offered true fog lamps as opposed to the "road" lamps they used, yes ... however, I've found that the HID's make the need for fog's unnecessary.

That's true, they are just for appearance, but I still like the way they look.

I thought it was kind of retarded to take out the lamps at first. But I agree with some of you who would rather have real fog lamps. However, since I have seen where the Comptech icebox fits, I'm not so sure anymore. It looks like you can open the blank and run air directly into the icebox, so I think I'll do that and forget the lamps.

I was one of those who posted "don't really care".

When I think of fog lights, I think of off road use. I've never experienced the need for these in an urban, suburban, or even most rural settings. The headlights, especially the HIDs, do well enough.

I like the way it looks WITH them, especially on the black... but I would rather have something that was functional, and not the ghey road lamps. Without having done a search, there must be aftermarket fogs that fit in there, no?

someone here got some real PIAA ( i think) fogs and cut out the back of the fog housing so the lights fit in the fogs and keep that stock look. Pretty good idea, and they looked good too.

are you thinking of ST2000's Hella Micro's that he's fit into the "road lamp" molding and encased with his mesh surround?

no I haven't seen his set up. He has an 03 right? with the black plastic inserts. The one I was thinking of was on an 01 or 02 and used his roadlamp housing. I'll do a search and see if I can find it...

I can't find the pics I was talking about, but I found a pic of ST2000's you were talking about. It's kinda the same thing, but just with those lights inside the roadlamp housing instead of exposed.
