Retrofit the fog lights???

Just out of curiosity has anyone thought of retrofitting the oem fog lights I hear every one say if you put a bigger bulb in them it will melt the light I retrofitted my 92 accord headlights a while back and just thought about it here's the link to the projectors anyone have the dimensions of the fog light

I have tons of different sets of foglights for '90-'91 and '92-'93 Accords and occasionally I'll put the yellow Lexus ES300 projector lenses into them. The light output is good, but much of that, I feel, is related to the more intense bulbs used. The '90-'93 Accord foglights just suck. They make the front end look better, though.

The '01-'03 3.2CL is a little different. I think the car looks much better without the foglights. You could do the same thing I mentioned for the Accords and it would probably increase the light output a bit, but not much. The big difference comes from the intensity of the bulb used.

My plan is to use the high beam spot for a small 2.0" projector as the foglight and put a Bi-Xenon projector in the low-beam spot. I had decent results with the Morimoto mini-D2S Bi-Xenon in my JDM Accord headlights so I may use those again.

Off-topic, I'll be in Mobile a week from today. If there's anything I should do while I'm there, PM me.

I had some generic Pilot driving lights I got from Advanced Auto Parts for around $20. The lenses were glass and they used an H3 bulb, so you could put any color you wanted in there. Here is a pic of mine before it was totaled.

I just put in Super brighT LEDs in my CL fogs and then took the housing out and sprayed tint on the lenses so u don't really see the fogs in the day.

Which I love.

The cls just looks way too happy for me. With that massive chrome grill, chrome headlights and then monster white fogs... The car is begging for black..

So i got 03 headlights, modded the fogs, Bought the ebay grill and painted that black too. And I removed the licence plate bracket and then with two aluminum tabs relocated the plate right beneath in the center of the lower grill.

I hated that plate location, just kills the front end look completely no flow
