fogs look pretty good. i remember wanting to try those a couple years ago, but i never got up the guts to order them and try it.
Same here.... But its nice to know that it can be done, looks pretty clean too!

look if you do it correctly the bezel of the foglights are bigger over all then the driving lights so if you have PATIENTS and DREMEL there will be little to no gap. I haveno had time to go back and make mine fit better I am off all this week so hopefully sometime. However, Guys those look awesome on your cars good job.

Looks like the fitment isn't bad except for the lower insides which Im sure is the best it can be for using non stock parts. It does seems like the lights are still pointed inwards. Am I wrong?

cant speak for him, but i wouldnt hold my breath - R&D, molding, test fitting, etc... takes a lot of time and money and its a gamble for a 3 year run of an unpopular car...

Now if acura had made some decent fog lights for the cl it might be a little easier to "replicate" their design... however none of us want the style driving lights acura produced for us

Just my .02 ---

Very clean work, looks sick man! Did you run the switch into the blank button spot next to the cruise or did you hard wire them? Props again on an amazing job well done!

It's a pain in the ass to make these things fit and look good. I tried and failed. Oh well I figure something out.

Bump.

So can you just wire it into the corner lamps? I was reading badeh2's other thread, and some were saying a relay or a fuse should also be wired in there.

Well I'm def planning on doing this as soon as spring rolls around. Everyone seems interested in doing the project but not a write up to go with it. I guess I have my work cut out for me. So for anyone wanting to do this little mod, will have to wait a little longer. Unless someone else beats me to a good write-up.
