2002 Acura CL-S Road Lamp Replacement!

So i have a 2002 Acura CL-S and i want to replace the road lamps or "fog" with real fog lights. I have looked online and there is nothing like real fog lights available for this car. So can someone help me out here please.

If all fails and there are non out there. I know the existing road lamps use peanut bulbs. Now if i replace the lights that are there now with some Universal Projector Fog Light. Is there a wiring conversion kit i can buy?

Can you please leave a link or an image of where to buy or get these stuff.

I actually like the clean look of the stock road lamps but both of mine are not coming on. It's suppose to come on along with the headlights, right? How do you access the housing?

And can you not replace with a higher wattage bulb?

You can buy LED bulbs to fit that will be white and a bit brighter. You can get them from Amazob, Ebay, etc. They are cheap and its just a bulb replacement job.

Here are a few links:

It is held in by one Phillips screwdriver. If u get a flashlight you will see there is a little cut out in the grill to make a clear passage to access that screw.

Just be in the center of the bumper and look at the edges of the lower grill closets to the road lamp. You should find it in no time.

U will want a long Phillips screwdriver .

Once u find the screw unscrew it till u feel it skipping. Then put ur hand through he grill area and push the road lamp out of the bumper and it will pop out. Then it will be dangling by the power wires so you will want to disconnect those by turning them. Just light a taillight.

Are the LED’s pretty cool-running? I would be a bit concerned about melting the housing- I’ve heard that can happen sometimes.

So far i never had a problem and i had mine in for a few months now. They are very cool (better that those orange/yellow bulbs). Here is a picture of how my car looks but the picture quality is not the best.

(Also notice the white LEDs inside the car)
