It also makes me wonder how you would aim them, too.
Any news on that GP?
Can we adjust them, do you know? Or how the output is?

I installed the 03-05 accord sedan fogs in my lower grills and could not be happier. If I would have taken a little more time I could have gotten them to fit a little better but they worked and looked great!

Looks great. Accord fogs look the most OEM IMO.

I agree, Accord Sedan fogs look the most factory. I wired them in using the Accord dash switch also. Guy that bought this car from me couldnt even tell they were not factory.

Thats on the Inspire fogs , right ? Also how is the output ? Would a HID kit be to much for the lights

Thanks! Not sure, the previous owner had the LED bulbs already in there but they aren't bright enough when there's sunlight to use as DRLs.

Just FYI, these are DRLs, NOT fog lamps. They don't provide any road illumination.
Hi, I'm wondering if these will fit on to an 05 Stock TL but closer to the middle. Any feel for that or did you have these installed by a shop? Thanks.

would probably be too much glare for HIDs in the upper housing .. get a pair of the nokya 3000k if you want yellow.

Look good...I recently replaced some cracked glass and had the bezel paint matched. I'm really happy with the outcome.

Well, update, I actually ended up bailing on these and going with inspires. Hard to argue with a fact. They fit the best!

My 04 has the fogs from the 07-08. The guy I bought it off of paid a shop to custom fit them. He told me it was extremely difficult and the shop ended up spending way more time than they had initially allotted trying to get them in there, but they look good, and they're even hooked up to a switch next to the VSA on the dash.

How do you guys think these would look vs. the Inspires? I was beginning to think the Inspires looked a little too big, but Rockstar's car seems to pull it off perfectly.
