side pockets on my 99.

they wiill fit nicely.
i wanted the HID version...but they are just too much money.
maybe later on i could convert these..

anyway.

i need a foglight switch.

i want the OEM TL foglight switch.

it will snap into the blank opening.

where could i get this switch.

the DEALER?........say it aint so...

 

good luck with the install, dont forget to post some pics, not sure if the acura dealer willl have it, i guess search the net

 

yeah the dealer will have the OEM switch, just say u got an 02-03 TL or i think an Accord switch might even work. Enjoy bro, and post a DIY!

btw: why did u choose those foglights out of curiousity?

 

there're 2 ways to do this.

you can get the inspire switch($60), accord relay/harness($100+)that will all snap together nicely.

or you can get the 02tl fog switch($30) and hardwire that to your fog harness.

both switches looks the same except that the connector is different. that's why you need to hardwire the 02 switch.

if you're not a handy person, i advice you not to attempt the corner pocket mod. the degree of difficulty is quite high.

 

yeah i remember reading Songoku's DIY and him sayin that it is quitea bitch to install em in the pockets. what are the other alternatives? screwing them to the middle airdam?

 

i'll make them fit.


i already checked the clearance.
these are small enough to fit nicely.


i know it won't be easy...
gonna have to make brackets....i know that.


i'll take pics.

 

to do the pocket install, you really need the accord fog because it comes with the mounting bracket that you can just trim and screw onto the corner pocket. but you still have to cut some metal behind the bumper and the fog kit will cost you over $200. figure in the labor and you're looking at $300+...

the alternative is to mount the fogs in the airdam just below the bumper. i mounted mine onto the metal piece in front of the radiator, it's more secured than screwing it onto the bumper cover. you need to take the bumper cover off to do this.

 

plus the mounting point on these fogs is far enough back from the lense..
that bracketing them in there won't be that hard.

 

It might work, but the color's different. Accord - black TL - gray


If you want to take a look at my DIY, here's the link. Good luck.

I can add to this thread by telling you the accord switch is a bit too small for the opening, it will dance around in the fog switch blank space. Get the 02-03 switch and connect the wires, while you are at it, make sure to conect the wires in such a manner that you can turn on your fogs at any time (in park, w/ high beam, etc).
