LED light upgrades
I have my OEM fog lights set up as switched DRLs and was using the factory halogen bulb:
I used IJDMToy.com LED bulbs: they're the 9006 equivalent-stock #
40-347 50W Max-Capacity High Power CREE R4 XP-E LED 360-degree shine 9006 HB4 LED Bulbs For Fog Lights or Driving Lamps
Here they are after installation:
And while I was at it, I swapped out the bulbs in my 03-05 Accord fog lights (uses H11 bulbs):
Stock#: 40-346 50W Max-Capacity High Power CREE R4 XP-E LED 360-degree shine H8 H11 LED Bulbs For Fog Lights or Driving Lamps
They're all nice and bright white (not blue as I didn't want that look)- total cost including the shipping was ~ $91 (these bulbs have the small convex lens over the front of the 2 LEDs in the nose of the bulb).

The lower fogs are wired to the OEM foglight switch on the left stalk (so it's similar to the 07-08 TL setup). The original OEM fogs of my 06 (next to the low/high beams) are wired to a switch on the dash (next to the VSA switch)- I didn't need any decoder, but you will need one if you're using LEDs for the OEM DRLs of an 07-08 cars since the DRL's will likely strobe if you use LEDs in that location. For the lower fogs, there should be no need. A decoder is about $15 anyway, so it's of little cost.
For my setup, the LEDs were plug and play.

Funny story when I bought my 08 TL type S last year, I had LED fog lights put in and my guy showed me that an old bulb was sitting in the housing. You only notice it when u look for it. Would only remove it if the bumper was ever removed.
