All TL's have fogs . 04-06 have them in the headlights, next to the low beams. Newer years have them in the bumper. I have a SSM 05 TL and I bought Nokya 2500K bulbs to put in my fogs and it looks pretty damn good !

How were you guys cutting the acrylic to fit? I would think its fairly hard to cut acrylic precisely by hand since its rather brittle.
Heres the 6th revision of one I laser cut, should slide right in and fit snug without moving. I'll try it out later today.

The light output is REALLY yellow. More yellow than the 3000K HID kits I had years ago, and way more yellow than colored bulbs.
It definitely looks a bit dimmer than stock, but its probably the best solution if you want really yellow light without the hassles of a HID kit or hard to find bulbs.
I put it in without removing the bumper, just removed 2 10mm bolts and a plastic clip, moved the plastic deflector out of the way, and pressed the big tab on the back of the fog light shroud up while pulling it out. About a 10 minute job.
It's simple to cut out some more, but I only had a little 12"x12" sheet, and its not big enough to cut 2 pairs out of. Next time I order acrylic I will add some yellow 1/8" stuff in bigger sheets. Probably a week or two.

^^^^With the sheet I bought, I had enough to make two sets. It guess it depends on how you cut it. Like most things there are a couple of cons, one the yellow will be yellow with or without the fogs being on. And two, water can ger between the plexiglas and fog light. This won't hurt the fogs but you'll just see the water in there until it dries. It's not like a headlight or tail light. The water dries quickly as it's open.

^thanks for the heads up. i got the 1/8 thickness so maybe a lil more gap in there will let it drain better. no biggy to me. i actually opted to get the grey "smoked" transparent color instead of yellow. i love the yellow but i have the ASM color code and only like yellow on white and black cars. so i think silver car with smoked fogs would look good. ill post pics of the install! thanks for the awesome idea!!
