Not feeling the black square they are mounted in...or the way it looks mounted in the middle. Looks too cheap.
Ever think of cutting the grill to wrap around the light itself. Basically just cutting a circle into grill? The grills only run 10-14$.
Lights look really bright though. Im in for a night shot.

damn. this guy is brand new to the forum and already tearing it up with the mod's..
i agree about looking a little out place, especially when they are off... great install, looks pretty fit and finish... you might want to consider doing the accord fog mod, check out 04WDPsedan and Rodneyc77

It would be a simple change to do if you want to enhance the look to match the performance of the lights.
Simply buy a left and right side lower grill from a dealer or a website. Then cut a hole to the size of the light, and from the looks of it you shouldnt have to cut the mounting square that is there now. It should also be hardly noticable when the grill goes over it. Keep us informed on what you do.

Since i brought up the idea, i also did a quick photochop of how it may look with grills wrapping around the light.
Just trying to help keep it look as clean as possible.

To be perfectly honest I am not 100% satisfied with how the Accord fogs look on the TL even though I did it myself. It seems just to be the best option SO FAR if you want lower fogs but I wish there was something better out there.
I think this was an interesting take at something different. Maybe if the lights were put out to the edges like Accord fogs are done. The surround panels won't look out of place then.

I got a fabricator making a support for the 04-06 tl corner to hold the 03 accord fogs in place without all the extra modding. I took the measurements saturday and put them into CAD and dropped the file off at his factory, hopefully this saturday he's got a couple of supports to test. when I get my ronjon front bumper ill make em for that too.

I have an 04 TL SSM which will require some bodywork in the future. By that time I would like to swap the front bumper with whatever new (model) bumper (with fogs) that best fits. 07 or 08?? I would love to have the additional foglight (hid preferably) to see better on the road. I really don't want to do any dremeling on the grill or bumper to install the foglights. Any suggestion on what fits?
Much Appreciated!!

Lots of info on this if you search for it. Simply...yes it will fit, not worth the amount of money to do though. IMO

I think when those foggies are more inside (closer to each other), they will produce a better light beam...the TSX also has the same set-up with foggies closer to the center.
I actually like this very much, I think my TLS foggies look gay.

For some reason after i put mine on, everyone thought i lowered my car even more. Guess with them being down and to the outside gives it that effect.

speedy1991mia, I bet you see those glares from non-stock hid equipped vehicles.
When you put an hid kit in a regular headlight housing which is designed for halogen bulbs, you will get light splatter at all angles, thus the glare.
In a 3G TL, it's a projection housing, which has a bold cut off edge, which does not blind if you aim your headlights properly.
Some do it for the looks, I do it because I like to see where I'm driving at night.

the cut off is made by a piece of metal in the projector thats also the highbeam mechanism.... when u have cars that are supposed to have d2r bulbs (in a reflector housing) and they put in aftermarket d2s/9006 as an example u will def have a splash of color. tek i know what hes talking about though.....the mini projectors dont have a cut off and they reflect all over as well
