ALL 2005 TL's with fogs?
can someone tell me how to apply fogs to 3G's with base bumper?
i know you need the 03-05 Honda Accord sedan fogs, but applying them seems confusing?

FWIW, all US-market '04-'06 TLs have auxiliary fog lights integrated into the headlight units. The fog lights are controlled by the separate switch on the headlight switch stalk: https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/...505O00080A.pdf.
Some members have done conversions or added fog lights to the lower bumper area for aesthetic reasons, though, if that is what you're considering??

^ The 04-06 fogs in the headlight assembly are useless, IMO. Didn't do much for me when I needed them.
OP, there are a lot of DIYs on here regarding the "fog relocation". Search that and you'll come up with something. I've seen some pictures of this done and the fitment isn't PERFECT but its close... I guess it depends on how much time is spent.
Good luck!

I think the fogs where they are work fine. However, I'm still having problems changing the factory bulbs out for my Hyper yellow ones. I can't get my hand in the small spot Acura gives you.
I was driving down the highway, with no one else around, & hit the auxillary foglights, they lighted up a lot more. Didn't think it would brighten up so much extra.

I like the look of the smaller fogs on the car above. Please supply us with the link. Your car is looking really nice and different from the rest. They also look like they are pointing straight compared to the accord fogs that are to the side.

Check this out,

they look similar, no HID kit, but for $139 they are cheap, and im sure you can put an H3 HID kit on those.

The hella Micro DEs (halogen ones) can be altered to fit HID bulbs 
, I have a set with me which I'll be installing later down the road. The ones I have come with preformed bracket for Toyota Celica and can be cut to fit the TL and also have an adjustment screw for vertical adjustment.

Bleh, I tried the accords fog mod myself. I got one side done (after spending like 5 hours cutting and test fitting) It's not worth it IMO. The shrouds protrude and the grille is torn apart just to get the fogs to sit flush in the bumper and they still point out to the side 
It looks good from a little distance but you can see the butchering of the grille when you get up close to the car. Im glad I bought the cheapo eBay kit, hehe. I plan on doing something like SSM's. Very nice look.

Very nice look.I have the hellas and plan on modding them to take D2S bulbs (just like the HID ones do) before installing them in the bumper
