this is the FIRST thing i'm gonna do when i'm back in NY; there is NO ONE out here that will/can do this for me

 

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!

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.

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.

 

Beautiful car man... and I hate to be the tint police but aint tinting the entire windshield illegal up there in NY? I know I'd be pulled over by a trooper in a heartbeat down here in MD... Again though looks really clean man!

 

Great Job. I would gladly pay somebody $100 to install Accord fogs in my car.

 

damnnnn thread revival lol.... i no longer have tinted windshield.

 

 

ABP_04TL,

how did you did you cut the lower grills? I have the oem fogs and getting ready to do the install.

 

with a dremel

try not 2 cut alot (trigger happy)... look carefully and measure

 

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?
So, Is there a way to get a group buy started?

 

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?

 

So did your HIDs melt your fogs?? like Juiced_Acura_Kidd? Do you use them often?

 

nope

 

Man, every time I cut plastic with my dremel, the plastic heats up and starts to melt, what bit did you use?

 

holy cow... my boy just used the regular Circular bit

 

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!
J.

 

I'm working on it. A friend of a friend of mine actually has a connection to importing in high qual Accord fog replicas.

 

Do it... only if there was a DIY for this MOD

shit is the worst to do

 

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!

 

thats pretty hot the fogs and the windshield tint its so hard to believe you can see out though that.

 

thnx bro...

gotta do it nice in the east coast u kno

 

Just out of curiosity how much is the Accord Fog Kit and does anyone have the part#??

Thanks

ed

 

around 200 at the dealer, and 60 for ebays....

just ask for 03-05 accord sedan fogs

 

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.
