I'm driving a 1999 acura tl with kaixen 6000k low beams, my piaa fog lights just recently died and I need to replace the whole ting. I want to replace it with the stock acura fog lights but with hid in it to match my low beams. What should I go with, any suggestions please or links.

 

Oh yea i would like it to be plug n play also lol

there were no factory fogs on 99 so no direct plug and play
Some members have adapted accord lights into the holes with a lot of modding
Or go to walmart and get a set of driving lights, attach to lower grill/bumper

Look at the box for 6000k if you want a matched look, or 3000 for actual fog use

 

You'll need an HID kit to go HID. What fog light are you running? Accord? Civic?

Just find the bulb size on Sylvania's website and get the HID kit for that.

 

No need for multiple threads. Check your thread in the main forum for some replies.

 

I've yet to buy the stock fog lights because I put in piaa fog lights long time ago. Then fog lights died so I need to change them out. Ok I understand now, I need to get a HID kit to do what I want correct?

 

The 99 never had "stock" fog lights. That's why I was saying find out what fog light housing you're using to get the bulb #. Actually, what PIAA bulb did you buy back then? That's the bulb size you'd need.

I got my HID kit from here: https://acurazine.com/forums/sponsored-sales-group-buys-10/hid-special-%2460-shipped-acurazine-members-723872/

 

99 tl never came with fogs. u can do the accord or was it civic? fogs, but that requires cutting the bumper. their a diy on it

 

I did mine, here is the outcome!

 

pretty similar to mine....^^

There are DIY for both the Accord fogs and the Civic fogs. You will get have to get an HID kit. You can get it from this site.

Many people have them and like them.

The 6000K is a close match to the Kaixen 6000K.

 

Do an Audi projector retrofit like Serb did. Or a Lexus projector retrofit like I did.

 

pics?

 

Serb's (Audi Projectors with 3000k HID)

Mine (Lexus ES300 Yellow Glass Projector Fogs with 5000k)

Sorry, all the pics I had of mine are crappy phone pics

 

^when u gonna come to one of our spring/summer meets, i want to see this

 

Whens the next one? I'm at school and I'm about 3 hours south now and Serb is about 2-ish but I'll get a hold of him and try to make it out.

 

Do you guys have the fog lights hooked up to your side markers?

I want to do this but I dont want to hook it up to my side markers because everytime I lock or unlock my car, the HID fogs will turn on and off quickly which isnt good.

Or do you guys have it hooked up with a switch just for the fogs alone? Where do you get power from.

 

none for now. should be one around feb/march. not acurazine one but a big one

 

Srb tapped into something in the interior but not the side markers. I can't exactly remember but you have hop onto his thread or PM him. All I know is the key has to be turned in order for them to turn on. I was in a rush because I kept telling my girlfriend it wouldn't take long and it ended up being almost 6 hours (Srb and another friend of mine were screwing around a lot) and I ended up just running a fused power line in wired to a switch.

Just let me know, I should be driving back home a lot because of my two godsons are due in Feb and March. I'll make Srb come. Actually, you going to the Chicago Autoshow?

 

im going. go every year

 

mine is tapped into the parking lights, but i also have the factory switch (from the 02-03's) and i turn that off so it won't do the flash with the lock unlock.

 

i have my own switch...getting power from battery like an amp would....BUT not good cuz it doesnt turn off automatically...im thinking of getting power from the dc slot...

or does anyone hav a better idea....i want them independent with a switch....

 

ignition power? that way if the cars off their off.

 

Where can I tap into that? That's exactly what I've been looking for.

 

tap it to the cruise control switch

 

not bad....has that green light too...and it really isnt on on unless u set it...hmm...since i dont know where or how to tap into the ignition..ill jus do cruise control...much easier than that dc power thing

 

..."dc power thing" Huh?

Just probe around in a nearby fuse box with a meter (key switched how you want it). It's not hard.
