Inspire fog lights

Ok I searched the forum (maybe not good enough) but I see tons of cars with inspire foglights but none show how to hold the actual foglight in

Anyone can point me in the right direction??

it's just like adding the 04-06 accord fog lights.
you'll need to dremel out the plastic grill to fit the shape, then you can either epoxy or ziptie them.

I will be doing inspire fogs for a local members car for the first time today.
I'll be sure to take pictures on how it's mounted.

Love me some inspire foggies. Used to have them back on my 05 Accord a few yrs back. Loved the aggresive look that gives the car.

I epoxied a bracket to the bumper for the inner sides of the lights and screwed the outer sides to the bumper. Sorry I didnt take pics though, I was too pissed off while doing it because it sucks

Rather than start a new thread, I'll chime in here..... Anyone have a part number for these? I see some on amazon for like 140... then there are some on ebay for 69.99. Just looking to make sure I'm getting what I want and not be mistaken in my purchases!

No part number, most of them are aftermarket and the same.

I used a bunch of black silicon to hold mine in place. Tbh it's such a tight fit it can almost hold up by itself. Ohh and you'll need to relocate your horns. Some people said they didn't have to but idk how that's possible. I'm driving with no horn right now, it has caused a couple of frustrating situations :P

While this thread is going, does anyone know if the panel under the steering wheel of an 07-08 will fit in an 05? That's the panel with the power mirrors, VSA and fog switch. I'm asking because the switch that came with the fogs sucks and I had to dremel the shit out of my panel. I'm now wondering if I can grab a panel off an 0-7-08 in a junkyard and use it instead. Did the plugs for the mirrors, VSA and trunk stay the same between the model years?

The best switch to use is one for the 03-05 Accord, which is what I have. It fits exactly into the OEM panel next to the VSA switch- it clicks in. I had the same issue with the switch that came with my fogs- it was cheap and kept popping out of the panel- was very frustrating until I got the Accord switch.

Now is too late for me though, I fucked up my panel pretty good. The switch holds in place but it looks like crap. It's either gonna be the 07-08 with the stock switch or a whole new panel with the accord switch as u said.

I have a extra whole panel

Btw the 07/08 panel doesn't have a fog switch there - it's a blank just like the 04-06.
Fog control is on the stalk.

A new panel is a little pricey- $168 on OEMAcuraparts.com.

Thank you... I went to a shop to get quoted for installing the Inspires... so im making progress.... and thanks to you guys i have the accord switch number also... I still dont want aftermarket Inspires... id like authentic to make sure I have quality.. but I cant seem to find how to locate authentic...

NOW... You are able to change the bulb in these housings correct? Can you run HIDs in this housing? ( matching the color of the headlights) or do I need some like pure white LED bulb?

When doing the inspire fogs, the horn MUST be relocated, correct?

Lol.... Exactly what I said.... I'll get over the fact of it once they are installed...

About this horn relocation, where is this being moved to? I need to schematic to figure out the wiring of this, because everyone seems to wire them in a way I dont intend to.

Why pay a shop to install these? It is custom job and more than likely they wont spend quality time on the project to get it done right. And if they do, you'll pay a lot

I was able to relocate them in the same area but it took forever to figure out how to make them and the bumper fit. If i ever take the front bumper off i will take a picture of how my horns are mounted.

I want clean cuts and fitment.. I don't own a dremel and the things needed.. for the cutting, or the electrical experience for the wiring aspect... so I reached out to someone about it..

I think the 04 has one on each side instead of both on one side.
