Whoa, did you adjust them at all before putting them on the car? =P
No worries though; it's a quick adjustment.
Just get behind the bumper through the wheel well and you can get access to the adjustment screw. Just turn it with your fingers (it's actually a huge adjustment knob).
Point them down AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
It appears your fogs have an advantage over mine because mine are pointed down as much as possible but the beam's height is still as high as your passenger's beam.
Bring down your passenger side so it's as low as your driver side and you should be good!

Nice vid!
Notice how the passenger side fog glares the whole time while the driver's side doesn't glare AT ALL? =P
I wish I could aim my fogs lower but they are already the lowest they go. If I wanted to lower my beam I would have to mount the whole fog housing down more =(

Gotta love that shine of the beam on the ground!
I see that your indicator lights up, but what about the actual switch itself? (You'd have to cup your hands around the switch if it's not dark out to see lol)

They'll be whiter/bluer than your headlights but will still look really good.

Or, you could get Nokya Yellows like mine.
The contrast looks soooo good on light cars like WDP and SSM.
I don't have any shots with them on, but I will try to get some to show you.
If you want to match the low beams you'll have to get HIDs.
You can try other bulb brands like Hoen and PIAA, etc to see if they have 5000k h11 bulbs

That's where I bought my fogs from - except I bought them when they were $54. They raised the price to $80 (still an AMAZING deal for OEM)

A buddy of mine just spoke to some guy named Ack he is here on acurazine too. He wants to charge me 180-200 to install my fog lights that I just received today. Does anything think that a good price or I can find somewhere lower?

He installs them so it doesn't point outward.
I would say $180-$200 is a high price but it would be worth it.
Of course the real way to save money is to DIY using my guide.

Man i need to install my foglights. I have an ebay kit from 2 years ago and a OEM kit about 6 months ago. Since the weather getting colder, I will probably wait till next year. I still need to research the wiring, thats the only parts that im worried about.

It's mainly just splicing wires together. I think I did that when I was like a little kid lol
I redid my ghetto splices (twist wires and then electric tape).
Now my splices are mostly butt connectors. Looks way more professional lol
The thing I have yet to do is go to my Acura dealership. I wanna know their reaction (if there is any) when they see lower fogs on 04-06 TLs.
