your car has fog lights, unless you mean you want to add another pair. the switch is on the inside of your signal stalk on the left of the steering wheel column.

yes your car has fogs, but i have seen others use accord fogs in their bumpers, usually controlled on a separate switch. there should be some good threads if you do a search.

you use the accord shroud with slight modification and then you have to carefully cut the lower grill of the base non-fog light having grilles

1 aziner used the 07/08 fog light grills custom fitted looked a bit difficult

To the OP- just in case your wondering, I merged both of your threads since they're pretty much about the same topic.

Because he has a TL

The Fog Lights on the 04 - 06 Tl's were next to the headlights. It was not until 07 that they put fog lights in the lower grills, and changed the wiring so that the lights between the headlights became DRL's.

If you do a search you can find the step by step instructions I did about my install using the 05 accord 4dr fog lights a couple years ago.

The toughest part is cutting the lower grills. GO SLOWLY with the dremmel. grind it down a little, then test fit, grind a little more, test fit. keep doing this. it is a pain in the A**, but the results are worth it.

I thought I was pretty clear.

If you have an 04 - 06 you have fog lights, they are simply located between the headlights. (unless like me you added a set)

If you have an 07 - 08 you have DRL's between the headlights, AND you have fog lights down below.
