can u jus leave the foglight switch in the ON position and jus turn off the headlights??? can this burn out the foglights faster or easier??? lemme kno thx

Alexxx

No, once you turn off your headlights (into OFF position or Parking lights) your fog lights turn off automatically, therefore if the switch is in on/off position it doesn't matter, unless you have the "fog-light mod" which makes you able to turn on your fogs with parking lights.

You can leave the fog light switch in whichever fashion you like. Once power is cut to the lights power is also cut to the fog lights. I leave my switch on at all times and have the fog light mod done so when I turn my parking lights off the fog lights turn off with them.

It's also pretty cool at night when you lock your car with the remote

FOGLIGHT SWITCH ? Where is that I don't have one in my car dang ACURA forgot to put one inmy 2000TL

SlyTLS

I don't recall the 200TL coming with fog lights from the factory??? If I am correct, then that would be why you don't have one. If Acura offered it as an option in the car they may have wired it like the new CL's...they don't have fog light switches either.

sssick

If I were you I would call up Acura and tell them they screwed you.

You don't have it???

I have it.

*LOL*
Everyone's messin with you man.
2000 TL does not come with fogs... thus no fog light switch. You can get the switch and install it yourself though. That what Songoku and I (along with others) have.

I have my PIAA's connected to the parking lights (some ppl call it the Fog mod), so when I arm, disarm my car, the parking lights and fog lights flash. It's nice a bright at nite.

I am quite aware of the 2000TL not comming with foglights.
I have had my car getting close to 3years now & have been a member of this board for over 2yrs & the old old TL board way before that. If anybody knows what the 1999,2000,2001 TL came with it should be me. My point was ACURA forgot to put the switch in just like they forgot to make the factory foglights to go in the foglight cutouts in or cars.

SlyTLS

Take it easy FTM-1...I wasn't throwing a cheap shot at you. How am I supposed to know that you've owned your car for 3 years or 3 hours? I replied like that in case you weren't aware, hell one of my friend's has had a CL for a couple of months and never took notice that there was no fog light switch, he just took it for granted that they went on.
As for Acura not making the foglights for your car...nothing they do makes sense...just like they didn't make fogs for your car they didn't make a body kit for the CL line (their sports coupe directed toward the 16-30 yr crowd), yet the do for the TL (their mid size sedan directed toward the 30+ crowd).

No offense taken at all SlyTLS I should have put a when I posted my 1st post. I have been around here for awhile & was just trying to be a butt about the topic. I ofcourse know about the foglight issue. It is even in the Q&A section on this forum but I get mad at ACURA everytime I look at the foglight cut outs.

copland007

I run with my fogs on all the time. I have done the fog-mod as well. About a month ago I had one of the fog lights burn out on me but dealer replaced for free.

SlyTLS

Cool, glad to hear there's no bad blood! I can totally see why you'd be P.O.'d I would be too...luckily for me mine came with foglights. :p
