The TLs have a switch that turns the fogs on/off. Can we do that with the CL?

On the CL (at least on my 01), there's an empty space by the cruise switch that looks like the foglight switch would belong nicely there. It doesn't seem like it would be hard to do this (conceptually at least).

The reason I'm doing this is because I'm getting Polarg M6s, and I've read stuff about them melting the housing and burning out after a few months. So I've decided that I'll just turn on my fogs when I feel like pimping. Otherwise, I'll just leave them off.

Comments? Or better yet, if someone has done this, instructions. Thanks!

 

well, there's the ever popular response of "do a search" but i think i'll try to be a bit more helpful than that.

try these links to find info about the switch and getting it wired:

good luck

 

I have the polarg m6's in for about 16 months, they have not burnt anything. If you don't touch them during installaton they won't overheat. Finger oil causes hot spots, use gloves or a paper towel for install.

 

Well, to be honest... you need to have Fog lights in order to do a fog light switch . If you want a switch to turn on your 5-18 watt cosmetic road lamps... then the links in acuraboy's post should keep you busy for a while

 

damn bruthuz wit the tl-s gotta hate on the cl homeiz just cuz he got dem phat fogz.

road lamp, fog lamp, it's all ball bearings...


yes, juniorbean is correct. the cl has yet ot be offered with "fog" lamps. pathetic pos lights

 

I still have my foglight switch. Never did install it.

 

haha.... I'm not hating... just messing around. It's an ongoing joke on this board since there are several TL members and mods too... You'll notice it more and more as you're on here.....

 

Oh christ... this is where I hide my face in embarassment...:o Well, at least I can claim that I did read the FAQ... :P
Thanks acuraboy!

 

all part of the learning process my friend...

hurts at first but feels awesome once you start doing it more often

 

yah we have some members in this forum whom done the job..u will need to buy a fog light switch and maybe some rewireing

 

For 50 bucks.... having the switch to turn on/off the road lamps ain't worth it. If ur getting it to control aftermarket foggies, MUCH more worth it.

 

That's what a lot of girls say.

 

Time to be Hooked on Phonics man!
