Anyone installed these with the wiring harness provided. Just checked out a video that outlines this on the accord and I'm just wondering id its doable. I want to use the switch provided so I can run them independently. Wanna do it this weekend. Any insight would be great.........

You did puddle lamps too? I was thinking of that but gave up on it. I see you did a recessed job. Looks great! How many do you have per sill? I was thinking of doing 4 or 5 per side. I see 2 broad types of puddle lamps out there; a 3 LED set which is more affordable and then there's a hi-end expensive really bright 5LED model. Which ones did you use?
Also by the way, how did you wire them? To a switch or directly tapped to other lights? I thought of somehow tapping these lamps to the interior/courtesy lights. This way they would also FADE with the rest of the lights.....How hott is that? They turn on when you unlock with the remote giving you light as you walk in and fade out with everything else! Wow this is tempting me more. How hard was the install?

My friend wire it so when I arm or disarm the alarm it will goes on or off. Or when the door opens it will goes on. I believe my friend wire it up by tapping onto the interior lights. It is very install. The kit should comes with instruction to show you how.
Good Luck!

I see you have 2 lamps per side. What I meant to ask though is how many individual LEDs are in each unit. It looks like that Varad model is actually a single 1 Watt LED per unit. I was thinking of a 5 LED unit maybe. How's the Varad though? Is it bright enough. I assume you only really see it at night time right?

I'm in the process of adding 1 LED ight on to my side mirror shining downwards when I arm or disarm my car or when my doors are open. I think I'm overkilling it...am I? >_<

Puddle lamps
I was actually thinking about getting those puddle lamps and installing them, but.....as my company just canceled ALL Bonuses for the year, it will have to wait.

Well after relocating the foglight on the bottom grill., I was pretty satisfy with the outcome. I know a lot of people here in the forum followed my step and happy what you all did to yours! Since the out put is somewhat mediocre, I wanted a sharp cut off from the beam. So my next project to cut open the foglight housing and install these Bosch Mini Projector:
Dimension of these are as follow:
Max Outer Diameter = 2 3/4"
Lens Diameter = 1 1/2"
Max depth = 3 3/4"
Since the projector is about 1.5 inch in diameter, I feel that it would fit easily inside the housing and also give a good flat cutoff. Just like to see what is your thoughts on these.

Would you still have the same pluf n play for the wiring or would that need to be swapped out?
Let us know how they turn out - some of us haven't done the Honda ones yet........this might be another alternative

I'm planning to get mine installed soon. I was wondering, anyone know how to wire the fog lights so that they'll automatically turn every single time headlights turn on and retain the ability to turn the stock fogs on/off?
So in other words, every time my headlamps turn on..the accord fogs turn on...every time i turn headlamps offs, the accord fogs turn off as well.

when wiring the fogs to the car, you can run it to the existing fogs to make use of the stock switch and still turn on the stock fog lights? Im doin the install tommorow and id just like to know how many wires im actually going to need and how to wire it using the existing stock switch. Thanks

Does anyone want a pair of 03-05 accord foglamps for really really cheap with mtec h11 cosmo blue bulbs? i wanted to do this mod and bought all the pieces but i realized that it is to hard for me to do it myself. Think i got a little in over my head with this project lol. Anyone interested? Really cheap, i just want to get rid of these lamps. They work perfectly.

Did you start to do it Mad? The only part that itimidates me is the wiring but when the time comes I know the forum will guide me...........
