Accord Foglight Question

I know that this subject has been beaten to death but Ive got a question. Ive had accord fogs installed on my 05 TL for a little over a year and love them.....but Ive had some problems with them.
I installed some Nokya Hyper Yellow bulbs and loved the color but one busted after water got inside the housing. Replaced the bulb no big deal. Well just the other day the same foglight (drivers side) lens and bulb cracked.
So Im on the search for some new lights since I cant find just the lens. Im ebay searching for some fogs and can only find these. Which ones do I go with?? Clear lens or yellow lens? And shouldnt they all be waterproof like the second link lists?? Thanks for any help on this and what brand / link has worked for you guys.

Did you have OE Honda fogs or the cheap Fleabay crap?

I originally got the Ebay fogs not the OE ones.
Dont really want to drop 3bills on fogs though.

Sniff around, you can find the OE Accord fogs for around $180 or so.

What year/trim Accord do the fog lights need to be to fit? I'm assuming 04-06 all have the same fitment.

They are supposed to be 03-05 accord 4door foglights.
I went ahead and bought some more of the bay to see if these work better for me. Hope they do!!

Not sure what this means because EBAY lights that are $50 hold up very well. Fit better doesn't count because they both have to be retrofitted into the bumper. I do this mod and have done over 10 sets and let me tell you all are still in working order and all look the same, OEM or not.

I just did a set last saturday and they were OEM, didn't notice they were OEM as they look 100% identical to EBAY crap. You get what you pay for but $50 > $210 any day.

AckTL05,
I couldnt agree more about $50 > $210-$330. Ive got some Ebay fogs on the way along with some Lamin x to help protect them this time. If it werent for a rock my ebay fogs would still be perfect.

Just for reference DEPO is no longer made out of glass... i picked up a set and it was plastic but did have a glare shield... so either go ebay or OEM if you're looking for glass

Does anyone know which bulb size fits in the 03-05 Accord Fogs(Sedan)? I'm installing these in my 06TL bumper. I was told H11 but then I heard something different from someone else. Any help would be appreciated.

i would like to post their link up but mine was a month late. solely due to their so call 'basic' delivery service that will have ups delivery but once to your local shipping area of ups they will handle it off to your local USPS which lead to me have supesion that something went wrong. and Yes it did. never got a note on me door from my local post off nor did anyone from the office receive the package. usually i have no problem to just have it direct from one carrier not 2. but if you really want it then here it is.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...7401&viewitem=

i would not deal with them again. thking i lost my item and bout to purchase another one. then one day out of the blue a 4lb box showed up on my door steps. will post pics later.

thinking of trying these, they look like they would fit pretty well into the 04-06 lower cut outs

I would email all of the companies and ask if they are plastic or glass. I have one that I used but I am not home right now. I do this mod and supply all is needed including the kit which is glass.
