I've been dying for fog lights since I bought my car. Someone needs to post up a DIY for the foglights if there isnt already...i havent found one anyway.
Fogs were the first thing I looked for in a car when I was looking...I almost didn't by my TL just because it didn't have them...but it was sexy enough for an exception of course...
What's the cost of the project about? I don't necessarily need HID fogs, but it would be nice, gotta check my budget.

Dude when it comes to lighting up the TL and making all the lights look nice your pretty much the shit when it comes that. 
I think once your done with your fog lights you should post all the pics of your TL on one page becuase I REALLY like your interor look.

omg i hate you......
how long until we see the rest? Since you did it a different way, you should definitely make your own DIY for this. I have the fogs here at my house and before i do it i would love to see how you did it.

update:
yes, those are 6G accord fogs just like songoku's, but the ebay replicas. housing/lens quality is good but the harness/wiring is a bit on the weak side (also way too short for our cars). i had to do some wire extensions and other adjustments to get everything to fit right. it's been a LOT of work so far... right now as im typing this the bondo is hardening to fill the gaps around the cutout. after that comes sanding, primer, and paint.
no additional pics JUST yet... but i'll dump everything onto this thread once im finished
tmrw, perhaps.
DIY possible... i can't stress the fact that it's a loooootttttt of work (time/patience/cutting/tools/etc etc.)

lmfao jonathan i have that exact project running right now ever since two weeks ago lol my fog holes are already cut out and yes you cut them the same exact way i did lol......the holes are done but the fogs are not in yet due to the metal piece of the fame directly behind the fog cutouts....the car was in the shop last weekend so i did not even get to work on her but saturday i will be grinding that piece down and the fogs will be done.......did u get the ones with the deep yellow lens??.....btw are you running off of that bootleg OEM switch they gave????....im not lol 
btw he is 100% correct there is ALOT of work that needs to be done in order to make these fogs look good......if you have knowledge about working on cars you dont need a DIY at all just take your time and use your thinking caps lol

i just did that week ago but still dont like it, a great idea im gonna do is used plexi glass or fiber glass and cut out shape of corner air dam and shape the glass to fit it. itll look more subtle like how is300's are

i'm done!! damn this thing took F-O-R-E-V-E-R... prepping & sanding the bondo is so time consuming. BUT! it looks awesome and def a good learning experience as well. i should have pics up over the weekend or maybe monday.
technically, in some states, you cannot just run fogs alone or w/ parking lights... but (i want to say who cares) it shouldn't be a big problem. that's how i wired mine - once the parking lights are on i could turn on/off the fogs. it even works when the high beams are on

what exactly did you have to bondo? honestly i can already tell your DIY is much better looking than the other one.
Also, i know the fog light you bought (same i bought on eBay lol) is adjustable, meaning you could move the bulb facing up or down. Is there a way to make sure the fogs dont face too much to the right or left? Or do i just have to hope i get them straight the first time around? lol

imagine this. a plexiglass/fiberglass piece cut to the shape of your corner airdams. you install whatever fogs you like but take the glass cover off the fog lights and replace it with that shape you cut out earlier. basically something like how the 02-03 foglights are. the light is dispersed out and appears larger, unlike a centralized oval or circle.
like these shaped lens over whatever fog you have.

ohhh thats what you meant.. i was actually thinking the same thing today at work except my reasoning was to protect the fogs but if it will disperse the light better thats a bonus
i think i will try this!
