The fog lights are embedded in the headlight housing for the 2004-2006 TLs. Seach the Garage for the DIY Honda Accord fog light mod.

HIDs can melt anything.

if the fog lights are OEM or DEPO; it would have the same quality as stock...or OEM.



Zacklone found you a pair of OEM foglights.
OEM is FACTORY.
so no worries on finding cheap equipment

I don't know about that guy but he is a lil expensive. $300 installed with the fog switch and $260 with out. And plus he's a bit of a drive so imagine traffic, tolls and gas which all went up. So I think I would rather stay local if u know what I mean.

AckTL05's price is pretty good.

Since that link on ebay is in fact Bruce, it's gonna be around $165 for the fogs, which leaves $135 for labour to install it.

I've done many installs and they all take around 6 hours for me to do.

If you want to cheapest method, get the OEM fogs off him for $200 pre-wired (or $165 for not pre-wired), and use my DIY.

$165 + $12 shipping. Or $200 and still $12 shipping. I think I can get some depos like they said since hid's burn thru anything anyway and for a lot less and I just found a guy that can install by me for $80 so I will be saving big time. But thanks for the help.

i dont feel like lights in your headlight housing are true fogs .. i wired them up for DRLs but i really dont use them much anymore since i finished the lower fogs.

Bad ass!

Did your eBay fogs come with a factory switch? I ordered from JDMAutolights (still haven't shipped) and it says they come with a switch. Wondering if that one will fit in the TL's dash.

Thanks!

Cool, I know it says it's the Accord switch but didn't know if it fit, if you used the switch it came with then that's good, exactly what I wanted to know.

Lights look great!

How long did it take when you ordered from eBay? Really thinking about cancelling my order with jdmautolights.com

^Looks like most aftermarket ebay fog switches (from my experiences working with ebay fogs).
It is indeed rectangular, and not too too bad.

This is the OEM switch that comes with the 03-05 accord sedan fogs:



It matches perfectly, in terms of shape, and material.

You can always buy the OEM switch for around $15.
Hell, it's just a switch though right? As long as the fogs work right?!

Thanks guys! That helped a lot!

I emailed the JDM people and they actually responded, so hopefully he can give me tracking info soon.

My car is going to look like a damn rally car HID headlights, V3 Tritons and HID fogs

the ebay switch is aftermarket and is kinda cheap compared to the oem switch as far as quality goes .. but it doesnt bother me, if it ever breaks i would replace it with the real oem switch.
