3G TL fog light help!

I have an 05 TL which i wanted to install fogs on. I found a fog light kit for 03-05 accords which should fit the 3g tl. I was wondering if it was worth purchasing here's the link

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2003-2005-Accord-4Dr-LX-EX-Clear-Bumper-Fog-Lights-Switch-Kit-/121137368275?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AAccord&hash=item1c34598cd3&vxp=mtr#shpCntId
Please let me know if these fogs will fit/work on my tl Thanks.

yes, that is the exact kit that a lot of acurazine members use.
you will need to cut the lower grilles to accommodate your new fogs!

good luck sir!


to give you another option and in my honest opinion; loooks waaaaay better than the accord fogs....
is the inspire fogs

Its worth it. You have to just put time into modifying your lower grills. I personally went for the Inspire fogs. I also placed them behind the grills so I didnt have to cut them up for now. Looks pretty cool in my opinion lol and different.

If you are going to do Accord fogs, just know that those EBay specials are aftermarket and pretty cheap quality. I had 2 sets that cracked after 1 season each. Learned my lesson the hard way and bought the OEM Honda ones, you get what you pay for.

It's the kind of install you wouldn't want to do more than once with all the bumper removal/wiring. In my case I did it more like 4x because I have Inspires now, lol. And yes, 200% worth it, makes the 04-06 cars look totally up to date.

Inspire over accord fogs


Every picture I have seen with accord fogs do not sit flush and always look slanted or sunken.

Accord fogs are much harder to install.

With the right cuts, and patience, it can look flush.

You can make it sit right. You just need to be a perfectionist and be willing to accept no less. I sat on the floor playing with the bumper for a whole day to get it right.

I saw someone brag on an old thread they did an Accord install in 15min. lol...wha? Ya OK. I'll eat my sneaker if that's true.
