I installed OEM accord fogs a few months back with a HID kit and the amount of glare is unacceptable to even turn on. To make my fogs actually function I will be retro fitting a set of Fog Light projectors inside the accord fogs, specifically the "Blazer" foglight kit. Just wondering if anyone here has done this I know this is a popular mod on some forums.

Here are some examples of the Blazer projectors in the accord housing

Pic not working

oh that looks interesting. cant wait for the installation pics and how it comes out!

Pics work fine for me but here are some more

Oh and check out the beam pattern cut off with the blazer fogs! excellent!

I had Rich from HIDIllusionz retrofit my OEM foglights with JDM ES300 foglights, excellent work and great quality. I'm sure it's just like any other retorfit if you're familiar with it. Check out HIDplanet, they should have some how-to's and what not.

This is very tempting...

Ya i've done my share of retros I was just curious if anyone else had done it with their TL. Got any pics of yours?

Sure do, check the thread.

wow that looks really good

Nice

Next time I'm in raleigh I might need you to do this for me, I already have a set of depo fogs with glass lenses and an HID kit. Do you live off cary parkway?

Rog, how many projects do you have going on man? lol

Is this a picture of you house?! IF so, those are really nice fenced in windows you have, do you have a shotgun underneath you bed?

OP, fogs look great



lets not clutter up a fog light thread with something completely off topic. red text or not, theres no place for that

Nice

how much was the projectors.

Alex that's not his house.

Roger I'm looking forward to seeing these done!

A DIY for this would be killer.....

Hmm, i do like this idea. How much would u charge if i sent you everything u needed?

I like where this is going

lol let me finish mine first! the projectors are only 40 shipped on eBay too great price for great output!

this looks really cool

That sound's kinda of worth wild to do this. What are they called or you can post a link to the ebay auction.

damn them projectors are nice..i got some from nissam ser mayb ill try to do that...if i knew having hid in the fogs was gonna be a killer i would of looked for this projector b4 installing

I think I will do this. I will let everyone know how difficult it is. If I had to guess it would take me about 3 hours and I would charge $100-$140.

I did this with Lexus ES300 fogs.
Well... at least I planned to. I semi-cut one of the eBay Accord Fogs opened then said "screw it".
I then custom mounted the Lexus ES300 fogs on to my Acura instead and used the OEM Accord fog-wiring with mod'd H3 HIDs [switched the pigtails to H11s for the wiring].

I'm now considering doing something totally different... thinking of putting TL projectors down there---so long as if I can find 3" yellow (stained) clear lens.

If you're planning on doing this with OEM 07-08 fog lights I'm pretty sure you'll have to cut the glass cover off. At least this is what Rich had to do with mine. The whole fog light assemble is made out of metal and he just cut a piece of Lexan plexi glass to fit.

I have OEM 93-95 accord foglights

Yes, with the accord fogs you pretty much have to cut the glass cover off. It's the easiest way to approach the retrofit.
Unless, of course, you want to only work at it from behind (it'll be tougher) to keep the OEM glass [or eBay glass/eBay plastic].

The OEM accord fogs are not glass they are some type of plastic. I'm not sure which approach i'll take I need to see how big the blazer fogs are. Actually I want to paint the inside chrome black so I will have to take the plastic out for sure.

Just giving an idea of how much I paid for my retrofit. $300 for the labor, projectors, 3000K HID kit, wire harness.

Where the hell did Acks post go?

Probably a PM

Roger, did you finish this?

Wouldnt mind these for my 03 TL

ha not yet I might start the project this week though

subscribed!

Can't wait this is my next mod!

those blazers are some great fogs. the blazers are OEM for the C5 corvette and many folks use HID kits in them.



here's some pics of them in my C5.




here's a shot of the blazer cutoff vs a PIAA 1100x.




i also installed them on my trailblazer.
