You also need the 03-05 Accord Fog Lights like these:

Or you can get the OEM ones from Honda...the difference is the lense, the ebay ones have plastic lenses, some come with glass if you ask the seller, and the OEM ones from honda are only glass.

All credit on the fog lights go to Ua6spec who posted the Foglight Relocation thread.
There was lots of meticulous cutting and grinding/sanding involved. It took about 6 hours one night.
Sorry this isn't a writeup but here are some pics for those who like to look at photos.
Lower grill grate comparison.
The center grill is taller even though it appears to be about the same here.
Had to split the grill in half to remove some of the middle section.
I dissected the switch that came with the Accord fog lights. The gray button piece on the right was from a TL VSA switch.
I ended up using epoxy to glue the gray and white piece together then reassembled the switch.
I guess I need to get a front lip installed to make it look good.
The final result of the lower grill after all of the chopping and grinding.

These were good times for the 3rd gen TL on Acurazine. Such great memories, great members now long gone. Good times.
RIP to SteveP66. Seeing his user name with avatar reminded me of what an amazing person he was and how much he loved these forums.

SteveP66, a great contributor. Will miss him.
Imageshack was the host service for images I used back then. I don't know why. I believe imageshack purged their servers and just threw my images out. Not cool. I managed to find an old folder with all of my images from the previous posts.
P.S. My TL was always garage through the years. I always drove a a take home work car so the TL didn't have too many miles on it. I finally gave it to my daughter last November 2014 with 28,000 miles on it. Still has the new car leather scent.
Comparison
Cut out and rig up.
Split the grill
A VSA switch cover modified and used with the Accord fog light switch
Parking light power tap. This is so the fog switch only gets power when parking lights are on as well as when headlights are on.
Location of the parking light tap connector. Red wires in the background
Good ground connection

Any original followers or original members still around? Checking back in after being away for several years since I gave my daughter the 2005 TL in 2014. It took care of her through her high schools years, college years and some professional years. Thought she was going to drive it in the ground because it stopped getting pampered by me once she moved out of state. Over the years things were falling apart with age and the bumpers were taking a beating. I felt it wasn’t going to be reliable for much longer.
Wife got herself a new ride and decided give our daughter her old 2016 MDX as an upgrade. When my daughter returned my old TL last week, it was in bad shape but at east both fog lights still worked. One of the fog light lenses was cracked, Navi screen was glitchy and you had to lap the dash to get it to come on. The power steering leaked, upper motor mount was cracked, faded headlight lenses, scratches, chipped paint and dings on every panel, carpet stains, AC ducts leaked air into the dash, filthy leather and a failing door lock actuator. The engine actually ran perfectly with about 80,000 miles on the odometer.
I bought this TL brand new in 2005 so I decided to keep it instead of selling it off. My next project is to resurrect this car. I already have lots of parts ordered, even the replacement fog lights.This past week I changed the motor mount, refinished the faded headlight lenses and repaired the leaking AC ducts. Ordered a used Navi screen for $150 and switched that out today. It works flawlessly once again. Starting to think this will be a good hobby to keep me busy for a while and it feels good to nurse it back to life. Hope everyone out there is still enjoying their 3rd gen TL if it is still around. How did your fog light mod hold up?

I never able imagine OG of OP come back and update the thread after all of these years 98% people already moving on to another platform. Keep us updated on the restoration.

I sold my 06 TL after I bought a 2013 G37. Kid drove it for a while, then texted my wife when he totalled it a few months later. I hope he got all the good parts off of it before insurance took it!
Good luck on the restoration. It seems there are a couple of OG members returning to the platform!
