Thats a type-s Aspec Lip so you would need fog lights from an 07-08 TL Type S is my guess.

However; TL Fog lights are expensive. and if your car didnt come with them from the factory; it would be absurd to pay those prices...


so, the 04-06 guys use the 03-06 Accord sedan fog lights. you can find a kit on ebay that has everything you need.
a switch, wiring, and actual fogs for like under $100.

Good luck finding OEM switch, fog lights and wiring for that price.

Only concern I would have:


Are they durable?
Whats the quality?
Hows the fitment?


Most members on here can vouch for DEPO brand. So its up to you to research the cheaper one you found. You could be a piggy and try them (report back if you do) or save yourself the money and buy DEPO. I myself have DEPO fogs on my 2005 TL with Type-S front bumper cover.

get the 07-08 depo ones. honestly you rarely ever see the fogs anyways, unless you crouch down and look at them, so i wouldnt be worried about fitment issues or anything

Paperboy, are you saying there is fitment issues? I know I've seen other members with, I believe, the accord fog lights and up close the fitment is a bit off. Most people wouldn't care but it would personally drive me crazy. Just looks like someone was trying to cram a square peg into a round hole, you know?

probably their first time doing the mod.
first time is always awkward!

if you check out some one that has done it a few times, they've cut the lower grille perfectly.

So in such a case, would buying those new black, lower bumper inserts do the trick? Or would a new bumper be required?

The fog light garnishes will not fit the 04-06 bumpers without modification.

Either a new bumper or Type-S Aspec
