take you stock bulb and your HID bulb and put them next to each other
align them up as best as you can and use a dremel to reshape any of th 3 tabs of the HID to match the stock bulb and then you might get lucky
be very careful. and you might want to test fit it as you go

Question!
Hey, totally dig the 12000kelvin fog light bulbs. Here is a question for you if you don't mind answering.
I have an 2007 TL and want the same HID fog light bulbs on my car. Can you tell me the brand of HID's you have and if they were just plug and play bulbs or if I have to do more installation than that? I'm new to the whole working on my car thing but I really want the HID fog lights. Also, are those stock or after market headlight HIDs that you have?
Thanks

Were you guys able to connect the ballast to the original lines?
The manual says the bulb is 12V-35W but doesn't ballast usually need an inital boost of 13V? Or is that not an issue.
Where did you guys hide the ballast?
What brand kit did you guys buy?
The stock HIDs are 4300k if I recall correctly. Does 4300k fog kit have a different color and intensity since the light is dispersed in the fog. Would a 5000k make the lights have similar look.
Thanks.

i got the H11 bulbs & they fit in the OEM housing after about 60 seconds of sanding/filing on the housing (to get the tabs on the HID bulbs to fit in the holes). i did the install myself & it took about an hour & a half. my first HID install too.

plug and PRAY
Do the Plug and Play kits require a connection to the vehicle battery or is it just connected to the stock foglight plugs?
I was thinking of buying these?

I dont see any relays or connections to the battery needed in the photo...

About Electrical Harness
Hi!! Hey guys, i've been wondering if i will have any problems installing HID's on my fog lights due to the standar electrical wiring on my 2002 Acura TL-S i have been researching about those relay's direct to the battery, My car has already installed (20amp) fuses for both OEM standard Fog's. in other words do i really have to worry about getting those relays or that only apply for the newer 2005's-to-up TLs???. thanks for your reply's
#188
I'd like to get the slim ballasts off of xenonspecs.com but I cannot find the relay harnesses on their site. Can anyone give me some feedback on where they got their relay harnesses online?
#189
Ok, I'm probably one of the few people out there that do not care for yellow fogs. I want my fogs to match up with my stock HID's. (07 Type-S). Would it make more sense just to get a 4300K HID kit for my fogs?
Would it be a near perfect match?

get the 6000k looks whiter and better imo i have that on my headlights and fogs.

Hey guys does anyone do the yellow film thing? I was thinking about doing 6000k HIDs with yellow Film. But I am worried about the color, Should I do 4300k with yellow film. OR should I forget that plan and stick to the classic 3000k bulb. I kind of like the yellow film because it looks good when the lights aren't turned on. Any help is appreciated, I am short on time so please help!

Anyone know the easiest way to take the diagram cover off? It's the metal cover that restricts the light output of the bulbs. It looks like it is held on by only a Philips screw, but I'm guessing the only way to remove that is to take the fog light housing apart...

Without that you can seriously blind oncoming drivers.

I have an 06 TL and would like to match the stock hid headlight bulbs perfectly. What rating would I go with and does anyone have pics of the hid fogs matching the stock hid headlights?
