Hey MEKO, totally missed this thread. thank you for posting!
Looks great...for any interested there's an ebay seller that is selling lexan replacement lenses for your accord fogs with cracks. I just swapped mine out...cost me $25. Got some other things planned for mine but I'll use this thread for guidance for Austin's install for sure.

 

I am sorry everyone and J.
Kind of took long to tackle these fogs.
Yesterday I received my new bulbs and today I installed the fogs.

I was amazed with the service of HIDEXTRA, I showed them the pictures. He said it's not 5K, we are sending you new ones right away.
Got them and pure white output

Install was easy, but I am not really happy with the output.
Remember I was mentionening that it's so sensitive to disturb the bi-xenon cutoff, you have to either aim it a little low or exactly straight.

I kind of aimed it to the ground, ok It doesn't screw the cutoff but there is so much glare, guessing it's because of HIDs
but even with these HIDs they don't brighten the road like what I wanted

Will report after a night Highway drive as well..
May be I didn't notice the 5k brightness in city with lights everywhere

------------------

5K


Comes out bluish but when you turn on the lights, not even after 2 seconds both of them are exact match




Sunday
I kind of did a bad job on the driver side (1st try)


No I didn't take out the fenders, because I didn't want to remove the A-Spec


You have to trim or remove that rear section, exactly where I am holding the dremel
So fog unit moves back and fits


Like this


Same with the other side
You will see where the fog unit touches and just go slowly by triming it
That's what kind of took time


Back side. Opened that little gap for the CAI








Accord fog guys
How do you keep the fog in place? Ok I trimmed the fenders so that sides could go in and hold the fog unit but I don't feel safe with that
Same with this as well








Right side
If the driver side took 10 seconds, this side took only 3 seconds













Have to touch up some spots on the driver side

















Yup, kills the drivers on the sides
That glare








----

















I am standing exactly here



Take a look at my back. WTH???? That shadow



Even if I put normal bulbs there, same thing is going to happen anyway. That's where reflector throws the output at

That's normal? I don't think so



Take a look at these, I didn't even do perfect fitment. What I am saying by that, left the top parts a little bit outer than the edges of the frame, so it aimes to the ground












So that's all the info I could grab out from these Inspire Fogs.
Hope helps

 

Damn son!!!!!

 

:d

 

Well done, young man!


That looks super !!!

 

holy smokes that's a lot of glare

fogs do look good =)

I mount accord fogs by putting a screw through the side.
Very simple. Works for every install that I've done.

I would have mounted the fogs so that they are more flush with the bumper and sit on top of the a-spec lip, which points the light more forward than onto the sides, to help with the glare on the side you're getting.

 

To elaborate, this is like yours: (thanks to el.profe's car picture)



This is how I do it: (A local member's car)

 

Thanks SB


Ohh I got you...screw will work
Will take it out and try to fix it, flush look might help, that's right.
Thanks GP

 

Me too! I use various screws from different angles to push the fogs from rear to point correctly. Meko...excellent job though...Austin and I will attempt next weekend

 

excellent work, buddy!!! I'm so excited!!

 

For what? you need to be sure you know how you're going to wire it...you're gonna be working on that while I do the cutting for the lights.

and don't forget dem base reds!

 

Great job and thanks Meko!

Might be my next mod!

 

I basically used JB weld to mount fogs on the fog grill. No screw or anything needed. For you guys it should be very sturdy since you still have all the clips holes for the grill on your bumper. Mine were cut out to fit the accord fogs so they are missing now but like I said just jb weld inspire fogs into the grille housing then install on car just as if you were putting on back the grille stock.

 

Looks great. Are the lenses glass or plastic?

 

Plastic

 

but plastic can't crack from rocks...
:yay:

Dennis, avatar update please.

 

^i will man. I'm just lazy when it comes to taking and posting pics. If anybody has a request for a specific pic I'll snap it to help out

 

Don't be lazy...how you supposed to sweat your car when indoors? By taking good pictures of it, duh!

 

Not taking a picture of your car?
What's that?

 

Where was the switch mounted? or did you use the factory foglight switch?

 

Mounted to factory fog switch
Stock fogs are mounted to parking

 

Oh ok nice. Looks good though, you did a great job.

 

Did anybody else notice these are not on ebay anymore?

 

I don't think everyone is buying them from ebay.

 

where do you buy these?

 

Looks good...any pics of these on a TL without a-spec?

 

If you don't have aspec yet...that is your first mod. The purchase of any supporting mods prior to purchase of said aspec will not be tolerated by the members or moderators of acurazine.

Sorry, not sure where to purchase, but I'm pretty sure Austin and Meko got them off of a site that wasn't ebay. I could be wrong though.

 

As rockstar143 said, off of a site that I mentioned in the first post.
Austin bought them from same place also.

Haven't seen any Inspire without an A-Spec kit

Edit: Here you go

Clear, Smoked, Yellow

 

 

I will take some pics today of how I did mine. I removed my fog grill to get a neater fit.

 

man that looks pretty good, excited to see your pics man

 

I love.

 

i feel like there's a slight light output difference between the replicas and the real ones.

 

LOL I love modding. I find that using some tiny screws to mount the fogs grill gives a cleaner fit than JB weld. I took some pics. I figure since I have everything torn apart might as well just change my pressure switches again. fun fun

Oh boy..

 

Did someone say Inspire

 

Car is under a bit of construction so I haven't put the aspec lip back on just yet. And the pink garage:theghey:

 

Looks good TLDude!

I still remember the PMs about the accord fogs and now you're onto inspire fogs haha!

These fogs look so damn nice and aggressive but I don't think my car can pull it off without being low.

 

Thanks man. None of this would be possible without you. You are the pioneer!
