Thinking about getting a pair of these

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Car-T...spagenameZWDVW

I am looking at getting some DRLs/fogs for my '03 CL, something like these or similar. I planned on putting these in the lower grill to give some more visibility without costing a lot. What do you guys think?

I might get one of these cheap pair just to see how they will look.

I figured I would get flamed for being a "ricer", that's why I asked in this thread first.

I'm pretty sure those will require a significant amount of modification and money. I'll look into it though.

Should I get a piar just to see how they will look? like I said above, I want a DRL/fog light, and the lower grill would be the perfect place to put them. if I do get them, I'm going to get a fog witch out of a TL to keep the stock look.

I'd say go for it. Worst thing that happens is you don't like them. I'm sure someone out there would want to buy them off you if you don't like them.

No, actually I was browsing around AutoZone and saw these Led running lights, so I searched for them on Ebay and found something similar. I figured they would fit in the lower grill and not stand out too much. I might pick up a pair next week. Gotta do a oil change tomorrow.

Those are honda legends, equivalent to usdm RL's. The new Euro Accords are based off the new TSX's.

Ok guys, I bought these lights and looking to put them on. I will put pics up when I get them on. I need some info though. I want to wire them so they come on when my parking lights come on. Does anyone have a wiring diagram to help me with this?? I saw one post that showed how to disconnect from the headlights, but not how to wire to the parking lights. I have an 2003 CLS

Then slowly they all started realizing it.

I'd have to see what it looks like in the lower grille to form an opinion.

Just can't imagine how it would look.

Any progress?

If people are biting this from Audi's look.

It kind of reminds me when people were putting M3 vents on other makes.

I decided not to get them for now. Don't want to rice out the CL. I got 9005 yellow high beams that work great in the dark. They look awesome in the day when the light reflects on them. I'll post some pics of those soon.

OK guys, I finally got these lights mounted and they look great! These are more like auxilary lights, not driving or fog lights. I did wire them into my parking lights, Thanks for the info, so when my parking lights are on, so are these. Let me know what you think.
