'08 fogs to '05 fogs

So I searched and found only one reply on ...will the '08 fogs that fit the bottom of the bumper fit an '05 TL. My question is has anyone actually done this mod?
If someone can link me to a picture of a modified '05 with these fogs, can you please post it or a picture would be great...thanks ahead

Alternatively you can put the fogs on then put the type s front aspec kit and you will have no fitment issues
Someone else seems to think so....

I did it on my '05. I cheated though. I really did the conversion for the 07-08 lip. I have everything except the fogs done. I just haven't had time to finish it lately.

But the lower OEM TL fogs do not directly fit the 05 bumper, you need to convert if you want a clean, proper install. Otherwise your way better off just doing the Accord sedan fog conversion like everyone else. The lower 07-08 TL fog housings alone are very pricey.

And a friggin expensive to boot...you're looking at over a BUNCH of hundreds of dollars for a foglight upgrade. Unless you're hellbent on the newer front end. If it were me, I would rather buy the front A spec lip and the accord fog lights. Get them at HandAaccessories.com for 177 shipped.

Use search and you'll find a number of people with a VERY clean looking install.
