Just got 1700x fogs installed. They look nice and the color is similar to the HID. I have the piaa switch right now running through the parking lights. I ordered the '02 switch and am wondering if it is the same as the inspire/accord switch and if it will work. Will the color be right? I should have looked at the 02 but figured it would work so I just ordered it. Cost $35 form Island Acura on L.I. Anyone else with the 1700x or info on the switch pleses help.

 

It is the same switch and it comes in ebony or parchment. You had a choice so call them back.

But the Inspire switch is different from the Accord switch. The Inspire matches our charcoal dash while the Accord switch is black.

 

I think he meant the 02 TL fog switch.

 

Yes, I did mean the 02 TL switch. That is what I ordered. Does that come in black and charcoal or just charcoal? The parts guy did not ask about a color he just placed the order. He may have known that I have a parchment interior, I am not sure.

 

"adamyankee"-- What did you mean by "it comes in ebony or parchment"?

 

What I meant was the '02 switch is the same as the Inpire but not the Accord

 

Thanks TL Daddy. That means it should match my interior. So does that mean that the inspire switch and the 02 tl switch are the same thing and color?

 

Yeah! Just like the Inspire Tail lights are now the '02 tails.
I saw the '02 switch and it's in the opposite position of where mine is in the '99 - but exact dash match.

 

Thanks again!!! Is the 02 switch on the left side now instead of the right. Mine is going to go on the right side. That is where the empty space is on the 01.

 

You can put them anywhere you want, just pop out the buttons and rearrange the switches to whatever suits you.

Nice pics. I installed mine at the top of the opening instead. They are the same fogs though, right. The 1700x's. Did it today so I have not had a chance to really check them out. I will probably just keep the switch on the right. Thanks for the info and pics.

 

This is a little O/T but be careful with the PIAA 1700x fogs. I went through two sets of them because they kept burning out. I also found out that a few other owners have the 1700x burned out on them too. I guessed because they are really hot since they closely resemble our HIDs. So I decided to switch to their new series, the Solitaire. I got them in Plasma Blue and they are 1/2 the price of the 1700x but not as bright.

when the 1700x bulbs burn out, can the bulbs be replaced or do you have to replace the entire unit?

 

You can replace the bulbs but I thought it would last longer then a few months. Be careful because it will add up.

 

Here is the info for the 1700x fogs:
Complete Kit 1790
Single Lamp 1710
Replacement Lens
and Bulb 15357
Wiring Harness 34101
Switch 30034
Relay 33101
(PL5FE)

I believe each bulb is like $40. Check out their website: http://www.piaa.com/

 

geod damn... how much are the bulbs?
