just got my 02 black tl-s w/ navi and really want to change the fog lights to a brighter so it can match the HIDs...any recommendations on what bulbs would be good to get that can match the headlights..

thanks

I have PIAA Superwhites and they're a pretty good match. I think the SilverStars will give you a better match.

We use the 9006 bulbs, by the way.

On the advice of others who tried it before me, I got the Sylvania Silverstar bulbs for the fogs. $53 with tax for both at Advance Autoparts. I'm very happy with them. Much brighter, much whiter and a closer match (about as good as I think you can get with halogens) to the HIDs.

i dont know if i was looking at the wrong bulbs or something but the autozone near my place had them for 23 as a set? there something wrong with that? and what are the 9006xv?

chrism, check out this post (scroll down to Jesse888) http://www.acura-tl.com/forum/showth...light=sylvania Bottom line is I don't think you want the 9006xv. You want the 9006ST. If you can get the ST's for $23 bucks a pair, jump on it!

do you have a pic of the way those bulbs look dennis?

Don't have them on my car yet but here's a link to jkozlow's car w/ the lights. http://jasonkozlowski.com/index.html Looks pretty good to me!

k, well...the 9006st are 50 for the pair. anyways, ill probably go pick them up tomorrow. how is the installation on them? pretty easy?

chrism,
changed mine out today ... 10mm bolt on the underside of the nose, directly inside the square cut-out. you'll need about a 6" extension on the socket/nut driver. then on the "wide side" of the fog lamp, from the front i used a flat screwdriver to "pop" it loose. it pivots out (there is a plastic tab on the small side) .. the owner's manual has a nice picture of it. no problems!

daverman. hey thanks a lot for the link. that helped a whole lot. i just put on the sylvania 9006st. trying to find a 10mm socket was horrendous. thank goodness my neighbor had one. it took all but 20 mins. oh, and i burned my finger taking out the old ones, shouldn't have turned them on to see the colors. burn is nothing...no blister yet. but anyways, thanks everyone
