I don't know if the TL-S foglights are any good, but they are serious enough for Acura to give them their own foglight switch. The TL-S at the L.A. Auto show had the switch.

All the better that Acura has real fogs now... will be good for the next CL...

But that assembly is just plain f-in ugly.

And I agree with NYREP... I'll take crappy driving lights over that ugly grill and those droopy f-in headlights any day.

Anyone know it they will fit the CL-S? if so I might have to break out the screw driver and go find a TL-S j/k but I may have to get my hands on some if they will fit and they are real fogs

-no they wont fit...

their too short... and too wide.

their ugly any way.

if you want some good real fogs that you can try and fit... try the IS300...

I know we all hate that car... but ya gotta admit... the fogs are pimp.

Shit... may even try the GS fogs.

Who cares if there are fog lights for our car. It's all just looks. Besides, HIDs are the shet for seeing the road. I'd never get fog lights except maybe to show...even then, I'd prefer to get HID custom made fog lights that fit our CLS.

That is truely show if anyone can make that for our CLS -- HID Fog lights...imagine that.

Huh? I don't know about you but I need real fogs to see on these dark twisting roads in NJ. Have you been in fog with yours? Have you seen the "alien light"?

So what is the purpose of HID headlights? I swear the spread of light is so much greater than halogen and fog lights that it renders fog lights useless.

Fog lights are for the old days when HIDs weren't readily available.

Wait, I live in Austin and a few days ago we had fog here that would make and English man cry, I think I've seen the "Alien Light" GTO reffers to, traffic on the freeway was slowed to about 40 and a good thing because all I could see was this mass of blue light in front of me until I got close enough to the guy in front of me to see his tail-lights. I like HID as much as the next guy but I also remember the old days in my last car with real fogs, I seem to remember a bit more visibility.

I don't know what the big deal is with the TLS grill, it doesn't look too bad to me.

Will the TLS have a higher redline than the regular TL?
