if you feel like taking a channe try this
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

the H11 bulb physically won't fit in the OEM fog light housing. IF they got it to work, they did some fabricating to either the HID bulb tabs or the OEM fitting.

I thought about that, and thought it may be safer to take the dremel to the OEM housing to make one of the spaces for the HID tabs bigger. Less likely to do major damage to something that way. But I think I'm gonna try to get a hold of xenondepot (who have been on "vacation" for the last 2 wks & haven't been taking phone calls or replying to emails) & exchange for an H8 kit.

gunner252

so, i ended up doing a little filing to the OEM fog light housing (where the spaces & tab line up at the base of the bulb) & got the H11 bulbs to fit.

hmmmm well i got a H8 8000K kit from XenonDepot
they got some good reviews

gunner252

yeah, that's where I got mine. The kit was great, the only thing that sucked is that they were on vacation for 2 wks (jan 30 - feb 19), right after I bought the kit. They weren't taking phone calls, so the only way to communicate w/them was via email. They weren't too great at answering those either. But, I finally heard back from someone yesterday & they told me that the H11's should fit, but I may have to do some minor altering. He said that the H8 & H11 bulbs have the same base, so keep that in mind when you get your H8's. If they don't fit perfectly you may end up doing the same thing I did.

gunner252

lights don't look as bright in this one because I accidentally left the flash on

P.R.E.A.M.

nice
glad you were able to get it in and working.

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

kickkmeexl

hey guys i was thinking of changing my stock fog lights to HIDs any suggestions?

AcctCanc10

Hey can you tell me what type bulb you have for you HID fog lights? also can you name the kit? I have an 2007 TL and want to replace mine to HID's as well. Did you do it yourself? or take it to a shop?

P.R.E.A.M.

3000K kit like myself
do it your self it's not that hard

AcctCanc10

Can you show me a link of where to get it? or where online you got it? Also, there has been alot of talk on the forum about H11 and H8 bulbs. Which one would I need for my stock TL? Thank you again so much for your help. I really do appreciate it.

P.R.E.A.M.

2007/2008 TL's are H8 order something else and it may not work
i will send you a PM about where I ordered them

gunner252

i got my kit from xenondepot.com. it's the 3000k kit - here's the link -

http://www.kbcarstuff.com/Xtreme_HID..._Kits_s/21.htm

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.

08 TLStockton

i put hid's in to my 08 tl type s foglights and thier h11 someone told me they was h7 and i ended up learning that i bought the wrong one

08 TLStockton

my bad its me again and i just seen someone say that the h11 dont fit foglights but the three tabs u gotta trim it with wire cutters or something it fits tho its h11

gunner252

i wouldn't trim the tabs on the HID's simply because then you run the risk of touching the bulbs & messing them up. What I did was file the OEM fog housing for about 60 seconds on each housing, it's just plastic & it makes the needed room for the tabs on the H11 bulbs to fit, and the OEM bulbs will still fit if you want/need to put them back in. It's much easier then fingering the HID's up, and it's pretty quick.

evoman

sorry to ask this again but please correct me if i am wrong...

H8 = 9006 = HB4 are all the same bulb??

evoman

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?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HID-X...mZ380007892121

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

OneWickedTypeS

Ok Yes I Did Go Thru The Whole Thread.
1, Im Going To Get The Relay Cause Obviously Ill Need It.
2, My Question U Guys With The 07's Are U Still Able To Use The Factory Switch To Turn The Hids On And Off ?

P.R.E.A.M.

YES nothing changes with how they operate. all factory switches are used

lopopo

Hey guys, im planning on changing my fogs to HID as well. Are there any DIY for 07 TL since the fogs are on the bottom and not in the headlights? Thanks

P.R.E.A.M.

all you need is a 8 or 10 MM socket(can't remember what size) and a flat head to pop the clips to get to the back of the housing but i removed my front bumper to make it a lot easier and clean to run the wires(i had mine wired with a relay)

lopopo

oh okay.. i thought it would be something complicated.. thanks a lot!! =]

What size hid bulb should i get for a 03-05 accord fog light?

Skirmich

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

anyone know where i can get a decently priced H8 HID relay harness??

type-sowner2007

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?

phambam

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?

07wdptl-s

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

Pictures?

H11 and H8 is the same SHIT!!!!

honda_nerd

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!

does anyone know how to change the fogs on a 2005 tl to HID?
i hate the yellow that comes on when you turn on the day lights.

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...

ifirahse

iTrader: (6)

Don't remove that, especially if you're going to run hid's.

Without that you can seriously blind oncoming drivers.

^ I'm not gonna run HIDs. I just want more side-of-the-road light coverage.

Does anyone know how to take it off???

Bump. Someone has to have taken the diagram cover off!
