Silver Bullet CL-S

Does anyone know if we can HID our fog lights (accessory lights) ? cause the bulbs look like sidemarkers bulbs which are pretty small

Not without modification to the housing. Since it's made of plastic, there have been members reporting that it starts to melt with the heat. You can upgrade to 12 watt bulb but I can't remember the bulb size off the top of my head. The stock sized bulbs are 5 watts.
Also please use the search function next time. This topic has been covered many times before.

i put in an accessory PIAA light...they look much better that those stock amber lights but doesn't do squat for seeing the road.

LED's for the win


Before LED's:


After LED's:

dante76

are the led's a simple bulb type or is that a fog light conversion?

Seymore Cake

Leds are just a simple bulb, just like our regular bulbs

what size do we use for the LEDS?

Also @ Pdiddy how did u customize your fogs? seems complicated from the other threads

Seymore Cake

I used these bulbs in the pictures

The White, not warm

drn33

OK. I'm going with these. Thanks for the link.
I did notice there are two holes (upper & lower) where the bulb can go in the light housing. Current bulbs are in the lower. Any comment on this???

Seymore Cake

I don't know about that because I recently took out the fog light housings to alter them for a larger bulb and there's only one hole

aznboi2424

iTrader: (10)

Yea, there should be only 1 hole.

drn33

Yep one hole. I was seeing a reflection when looking into the light which created an optical dillussion. The LED's fit and work great. NICE!

Seymore Cake

Good to hear

dre757

Do the LEDs get too hot?

aznboi2424

iTrader: (10)

LEDs should emit little to no heat especially compared to incandescent bulbs.

dre757

Alright. thx.

Do any of you guys have a photo of the LED lights showing the road ahead w/o the headlights? Its been real foggy here and I need something functional not just cosmetic. Thanks.

aznboi2424

I find LEDs are more cosmetic then functional. They don't throw a lot of light out but if you look at them head on, they look real bright.

If you want function, stick to proper halogen fogs (HID, since the are so close to the ground, will glare, especially on wet roads).

Bazla

Thanks guys.

Our job here is done

Seymore Cake

Meant to post up the car with the bigger LED's installed

Seymore what bulbs are those bigger ones ?

EDIT: Link if possible please , I've always wanted to change out my halogens to those

Seymore Cake

Well the bigger led's require you to modify the light housing by basically cut out what the bulb locks into

I'll post the link when I get to an actual computer

Seymore Cake

It should be the 18 LED wedge bulb, make sure you get the "white" and NOT the "warm white" if you want it to look like mine

mikebikelife

iTrader: (3)

Thank you Seymore, I'll order some up.
Now to find diy on how to make them fit.
Can you still put halogens back in after modifying ?

mikebikelife

iTrader: (3)

Just looked for over ten minutes for a thread on doing this and cannot find one :l Help guys ?

Seymore Cake

Once you make the mod you can't go back to the regular stock bulbs


You would have to have a second set of housings to revert back

When you take the housings out and the hole in which the bulb locks into you have to cut out the teeth in the hole that lock in the bulbs. I used a heated knife and melted through them

malvothegreat

What hid bulb should you use in the road lamp housing?

Mopply

iTrader: (1)

So Seymore, the LED's you linked for in the first picture will fit with no modification?

Seymore Cake

Yes the first bulbs I linked fit right in without having to alter anything

This is how I approached the driving light situation: I added the 2003/2005 2 door Accord driving light kit to my CL.

But instead of using the halogen bulbs, I used the H11 Osram 5500K HID bulb and the wiring harness from the www.retrofitsource.com

And here is how my CL looked like:

hey seymore, check this link out....i want to get the fogs changed to led will they fit http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-T20-5050...3266b9&vxp=mtr

THIS is what I've searched for in the past!! I'm probably going to copy you, hope you don't mind. Thank you!

99 Chris

Also Hotclick56, did the Honda kit fit into the Acura's driving lamp light slot? Or any modifications needed to fit?

Seymore Cake

You might have to modify the housing of the road lamps for these bulbs to fit. I really can't tell the dimensions of the bulb from the picture to be sure if it will fit right in or not.
