I ended up buying the wrong fog lights for my 1999 acura tl. Should i buy the honda civic or honda accord fog lights for my car, which year fit with my car? Hit me up with suggestions or links to websites. Thanks

I had bought these fog lights thinking they were gonna fit my car but everyone says they won't, can anyone explain why? http://www.amazon.com/1999-2003-2000...4695902&sr=8-1

 

the one in your link is for the 02-03 model.. not the 99-01

 

They have their information wrong on that site.

 

they should give you a full refund because of misinformation on their part.

 

I paid a total of 170, but they'll only give me a refund of 140, I bought the 01-03 civic fog lights for 30 bucks lol. I should have educated myself through this website before I made such a purchase. Thanks for everyone's advice, I bought 01-03 civic fog lights on ebay and the hid kit from hidextra.com 6000k to match my kaixen 6000k bulbs. i'll put up pics when everything is done

 

Yeah I've been looking for foglights for my 2000 3.2TL As well. I keep seeing those foglights for the 02-03 model. Yeah apparently the shape is totally different for the 02-03 models. The 99-01 models seem to have a fatter fog light. So the 01-03 foglights for the civic is my best bet huh? Can you please link me to the ones you bought, just so I can be sure. ThankS!

 

just type in 01-03 honda civic fog lights on ebay, many show up.

 

i have the civic fogs, they look great...


those guys should give you a FULL refund, they posted misinformation saying they work with 99-03 models, when they only work for 02-03 models.

 

Yeah I'm sure most vendors don't even know the difference.

Thanks for the picture, that is definitely the model TL I have. The fog shape isn't as sharp as the other model. Is there anything I should know about the install? They include everything I need, correct? No soldering or custom wiring required? So these bolt on correctly no problem, I'm assuming.

I'm looking at something like this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OEM-F...Q5fAccessories

Thanks!

 

yeah that link is straight. but the questions you are asking sounds like you expect it to be a walk in the park, certainly not, it was fun, but it was tedious, it took me a while to do, you have to cut away at the corner pockets with a dremel, then you have to use the dremel and cut away at the foglight housing, you'll probably also have to cut away at the frame to get the bumper to mount up to the car. you'll have to use quicksteel and some RTV to stick the housings to the bumper. check the DIY's it's not hard, but definately not easy. as far as wiring goes, i took mine in, and i had them hook up an 02-03 foglight switch in my blank spot next to the TCS button.

i do have 3000k HID's in them, they work out really well.

 

Get some projector fogs

 

^Showoff..
But my thoughts exactly..LOL

 

yea the civics work great i got the civic on my car and couldnt be happier

 

I think im planning to get the civic ones too! thx for this tread guys!

^i used kris's DIY for this

 

take a look at hella micro DE. They fit perfectly in the pocket. I love mine. and they make them HID if you want.

 

pics??

 

Ill post some up.

 

 

 

and you could probably do a better job cutting the holes in the pocket...i was in a hurry

 

not bad. IMO i like the flow of the civic lights and much cheaper, the hella lights i think cheapest one was $133

 

These are mine from a 2003 civic, with 10000k HIDs!

 

^ really nice pics. do you have 10000K HID headlights too?

 

Yeah I have 10000K HID headlights + foglights)

 

yuck! do we really have to cut the fog light housing for it to fit?

 

at least for civic foglights yes, or it won't clear the frame

 

Yeah I had to cut my housing to clear the frame and it fit perfectly...

 

Notch the part of the frame it touches. Thats what most have done in the past. You arent making the frame any weaker from trimming the little bit needed.

 

yeah... but still i don't really like the sound of cutting away at the metal.

 

wells, im installing them this week! ill post some pics when its all done! thanks to all you guys!

 

Thanks for the link,info, and pics everybody. This forum is very helpful.

I did visit the DIY page, and everything seems more clear now. I thought it would be a perfect fit haha. I will place the order soon and will chime in once I get everything installed. I'm a bit unhappy that there isn't any fog light kits made to fit exactly in our TL models, but only in the 02-03 =[. I'll also run some 3k HIDs from Meng Motorsports.

 

anyone have pics of how you mounted your switch for the fogs haha i did mines very "ghetto"..




haha just some paper and tape to make it thicker so it doesn't fall in works pretty well.

(ill post up some pics soon) got some hid's in them

 

wow, that is pretty ghetto, just grab a fog light switch from an 02-03, that's what i did fits in the dead spot perfectly

 

haha thx ill think about it but this doesnt really bother me that much ahaha just glad i got it done

 

DO NOT BUY EBAY FOGS, THEY ARE CRAP, UNLESS U GET THE JDM ONES!!

 

too late. haha and a quick question on the wiring. did anyone else need the extra red wire referred in the DIY https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=624705 ??
im still working on the wiring

 

 

Quick question.. i tryed looking up what h11 lights to buy for my 2003 civic foglights.. i want a bluish color or maybe laverndor.. i dont want HID rite now because money isnt at it peak yet. I just want to but some h11 bulbs but with a nice color. what brand should i use and from where ??

any suggestion....

 

does anyone have an accord switch instead of a tl switch and if so how does the wires go onto the prongs ?
