Not really a DIY. You need a powerful blade, cut the back and mount the projector. You have to make sure the projector is facing the right way (There is a top and a bottom), its even (cut off line), not facing too high or too low. A lot of trial and error, patients and just very time consuming.

I used a dremel, its the strongest tool for the job. I went through about 15 metal EZ lock blades doing the first light. I then went to some other blade that I don't know the name of, but it took a while to cut the back since its metal and pretty thick.

Just ordered a set of these from Retrofit Source and had a question about which wiring harness to ask for as I have an 06 TL. It didn't natively come with fogs wired in thus I am not sure which harness to use as I intend to mount these with seperate switch. The 07-08's utilize the 9006 Low Beam harness if I'm not mistaken.

Would that be the safest bet for me for my intended purpose?

sandals did you have to take one of your horns out to get the passenger side projector to fit?
also your pics of JUST the fogs on at night looks crazy...i feel like mine only points towards mostly the sides and i dont really get output towards the front.
I will take pics and post it up later.

No i did not need to remove the passenger side horn. BUT it was a tight fit. I believe AckTL said he had to. So if your's are aims more to the side then the other side of the projector will most likely be hitting the horns. If you haven't sealed them yet you should try straightening them out.

Before I finished mine I did many test fits by just taping everything together to make sure it fit correctly. I'll wait for your pictures to comment more.

You should be able to buy and HID wire harness that plugs into your stock wire harness, to the ballasts and the ballasts have AMP connectors for the HID bulbs.

I'm apologizing in advance for anything that seems like a dumb question but i'm a complete noob when it comes to wiring. I looked over the thread but wasn't quite able to figure it out, how would i plug something into the stock wire harness? splicing?

Not sure what the harness is on the accord fogs, which I'm assuming you're using since you have an '04.
