Sweet!

I think you're probably like the 3rd person I know with a NBP with Accord fogs and Type-S grills. There's not many people on this forum with Type-S grills and Accord fogs. Most keep their stock grill lol

The Type-S grills just makes everything so much better (and only for $80!)

Yup that's the glare shield.

It comes on OEM accord fogs.

did you just plug the LED bulbs in or have to do some wiring? I'm looking into the JLC Lighting bulbs which seem super bright.

lol I forgot to draw out the line I cut, but it's pretty much cut until it fits.

You put the grill up against the bumper, mark your line where the grill meets the fogs, and cut away lol

is it possible to get this done in 1 day? Or at least the fitting so I can get the bumper back on and be able to drive?

Yessir. but make sure you take your time with cutting. but overall it can be done within 6 hours(with messing around) so like 4 hours of actual work. the longest part for me was checking the fitment every couple of cuts because I didn't wanna over cut. Another thing that took a while was just to start the project. I know it sounds weird but ya just gotta commit to it.


guitarplayer: are those pics the ones with the Nokya ones that we bought, mine don't come out as yellow as I would have hoped : (

Yeah they're the nokya yellows

Mine didn't turn out yellow as I hoped too, but I'm not complaining because it's so much yellower than the stock bulbs lol

If you want a really deep yellow, you should get yellow overlays or HIDs.

Look how sweet the noykas look on the IS:

(Nokyas on the car to the right)



Could be the nature of accord fog housing

Nah

Get DEPO fogs if you have to.
