Shop in New Rochelle in Westchester did mine. They do good work. They did mine just over a year ago and re-did them last week. Bought new fogs and they re-installed them. Back to clear lenses for now.

[QUOTE=Juiced_Acura_Kidd;10206318]Had them for a little over a year. HID's melted the plastic lens cover. It looks like the yellow fogs - lol. Lens cracked too!
Why did theres not do this and yours did then?

[QUOTE=Orlando TL;10208292]I use them all the time during night driving. Maybe he used them occasionally?? Mine were 10,000K too!

Those look great! This is one of the first times I've seen the Acura guys steal parts off of the Accord. Usually it's vice versa. Cuz at the moment I've got the Tsx IM and both sway bars from the TL-s.

Man of God.....
So is there a group buy starting here?
I too would like a HQ pair of glass ones. I do have a question though? Is the any alignment for the fogs? Can you adjust them for max light where you want it. Low and on the road! If so how is it done. Screws, or what?

yep, theres a screw that will push them up or down
does anyone know the correct way to aim fogs? Just like theres a procedure to do the HID's, there should be one for the fogs too??? If the car is 20ft away from a wall, where should the fogs hit?

a cutting wheel, right?
I have that and a pneumatic cutting wheel I may use too.
I'm planning to tackle this this weekend, hopefully.
I have the aspec lip too...how does the lower grill insert come out? I tried tugging and it wouldn't budge. Also, is it a lot easier to do this with the bumper off the car?
Today I tested disconnecting the stock fogs and using t-taps to connect just the wire to the new fog. Worked like a charm and can keep the stock switch to turn on and off. Do I need to use a relay or anything else? I had an rsx with the fogs able to turn on with the parking only, but only used it a handful of times, so I don't care about it. I'd rather use the stock switch and have the low beams and fogs come on together.
If I want to use the OEM fogs as DRL only...can the wire to that bulb just be cut and wired directly to the drl unit? Do I still need to have the power coming from the factory wiring to it or does the DRL unit take care of getting power to those now non used lights?
Thanks!

I did it this morning...3.5 hours...not too bad...but at least 3 moments where I regretted opening the box to my dremel cause there are NO INSTRUCTIONS for retrofitting...so you never really know if it's right or looks good or pointing in the right direction. Once it was all buttoned up and a spec back on...it looked great!
I opted to use the stock fog wire (t-tapped into them) and disconnected the stock fog bulb in the socket (so i wouldn't leave a hole for moisture in the headlamp fog location)...this way I am able to use the "stalk" stock fog switch and didn't have to fool with any of the extra wiring just to be able to run them with parking lights.
I have a question though...I am planning on getting the DRL unit to use to run my old stock fogs as drl's...does the unit actually supply power to the bulbs? Could I just cut and run them directly to the DRL unit and have them JUST work as DRL's and nothing else? I want to make sure before I buy anything else for this car!

You'll find those here. Original OEM
http://www.handa-accessories.com/accext03.html
or here ebay item # 280350685705
I got those from Ebay from the same seller as above and I'm very satisfied. He sells a real glass one, not like some Aziners got plastics. Also, which was VERY important for me, since I did the switch version... the switch harness comes with plug to OEM Honda fog switch (08V31-SDA-1M035), so you can easilly put everything together. If you have any questions with wiring those fog lights from Ebay - email me.
