Fog lights

My dealer said the fog lights are not present and I have to add them as an accessory. But Acura's web site http://acura.com/models/model_specs_index.asp?module=tl states they are standard exterior feature and the brochure confirms it.
Can anybody who got his hands on a car already confirm or deny this. Thanks.

Dealer doesn't know what he is talking about. Fog lights are intergrated into the headlights. I have tried them at the dealers and confirmed it. I don't even think you can put fog lights on a TL in the normal position. I read somewhere that the area low on the front bumper is the cold air intake and can't be blocked.

Early window stickers for 2004 TL also said it had integrated signal lights in the side mirrors.

When I went to test drive with a friend, dealer was busy replacing the window stickers.

They are definitely there. I am thinking fog lights can do down low, but it will be a challenge, avoiding the CAI.

They're not that obvious at the first glance because they're in the "normal" high-beam position right next to the grill. I had no idea where they are until I saw them in person. Also the switch is now located right next to the headlight control. You can switch the foglights on by "rotating" the switch (just like controling the intermittent speed of the wipers).

Agree with Huskerfan. They definitely exist, I tried them before I took delivery. I should probably post a picture and add it to my gallery. Will do tonight or tomorrow.
