2003 CL-S no fogs.

I see that the 2003 CL-S doesn't have fogs. Why did Acura take them? What do yall think about that? Are they offered as an option?

the roadlamps on 01-02 serve no real purpose, so there could be optional real fog lights on 03 models.

Why don't the 2000-01 fogs serve a purpose. Do you mean they weren't strong enough or something?

Ugly yellow ones at that. At least my Polarg M6s match the HIDs better so it doesn't look silly like the stock ones.

Anyone ever notice that every CL-S on the road today has one of their road lamps burned out?

he could have been blowing smoke up my azz but the acura rep at NAIAS said that the 'fog lights' would be optional and that there would be a body kit.

i'm so upset there hasn't been one for the past two years that i'm not holding my breath but every time i see a TL or an RSX with kit i get a little hope.

I can care less about the kits, but what i really want are perfect size, and fit into the holes down there for the fog lights...

Hope the news is true

Just doesn't make any since why acura would put foglights on a 28-32K car just for show. i test drove te car during daylight so I wasn't aware that they didn't serve any function. I though that Acura's new sales pitch was to make everthing standard except Nav so if that is still true the CL-S won't have fogs? Has Acura said for sure that fogs will be available on the 2003 CL/CLS?

03 front

I personally think the 03 front end without the chrome and with out the 5 watt "fogs" looks much better. More aggressive and buisness like.

I agree, I installed a foglight switch from the TL and only use the road lamps early evening with out the head lights on. When I turn the headlights on I turn off the road lamps.

I got it from ACP and installed it myself. It was kinda a pain in the ass to install. Basically had to rerun the wires so I could have them on even when the parking lights were off.
