I have the PIAA 19173. I like them. They look good. But I always seem to have one that burns out in about 6 months. It keeps pissing me off. Maybe it's just my car. Anyways, get them.

And welcome to the money pit.

If you want yellower that those....maybe paint your road lamp faces yellow. That was done. I don't remember by who, but they looked pretty nice to me.

Well, maybe you should just wiring in some real aftermarket fogs then.

I have the bright PIAA yellows in now. They've been fine for most of a year so far.
THese are like 6 - 8 watts I think. I have the similar 6 watt white PIAA that looked good too.

the aftermarket ones seem out of place. I really don't think you need them.

Does anyone happen to know if the wiring is already there on an 03 or do I have to install wiring? I have a feeling they wouldn't bother putting it in if there was never an intention of putting fogs there. I've seen the lights sold on eBay but have held off since I think I might have to run wires and of course purchase the button for installation in the cabin.

OEM Fogs on an 03... more PITA than it is worth?

There's a DIY in the FAQ above. Check it out...I'm going to be doing it myself soon. Just wish I knew how to actually put in and wire the off/on switch. Anybody done this with an '03?

No wiring in the 03. I added them on mine, tapped into the headlights.

Thanks. That's what I figured. Too much work for too little payoff IMHO.

I have an 03CLS6 and added the 01 roadlamps myself. I think it was totally worth it and all the material didnt even cost over 100 bucks. I dont have the yellow bulbs i added the white piaa's which i get compliments on them matching my HID's. I thought the install was very easy to do, there is a DIY instructions by NSXNEXT i believe on the site if you search

Alright, I give up man. I've been searching for 20 minutes now and still have not come across a DIY for this under NSXNEXT's name.

Thanks. I'm all about the search function but sometimes it doesn't return a damn thing useful. LOL Thanks again for pointing it out.
