Finally put the lower fog lights in!!

Well, as the title says I finally put my lower fog lights in. Thanks to 99vtecaccord (real cool and nice guy), he was kind enough to put them and he did a great job. He calls me crazy for making that long of a drive, but I love driving the TL and had the fog lights sitting in my closet for a year.

It took us about 6 hours because we wanted everything to look clean and he cut just enough to fit the fog lights in. Now, on to the pics. I didn’t take any step by step because we wanted to get done because I still had to drive home.

The car befor the drive.

I wish i had this, the entire way (was going downhill at the time )

They were all out today, police trucks like every mile.

On to the work, 99vtecaccord cut just enought to fit it in




Putting the lights and grill in






Everything put back together, back at home






I have to light wired to be independentlly, so i can turn them on whenever i feel like it.


Let me know what yall think.

99vtecaccord wasn't lieing about this driveway, his car is LOW!! lol I had to go in at the bottom of driveway at an angle and i'm stock level, but not the top.For him, he has to angle at the top and bottom. His car is even cleaner in person.

First, very nice job, fogs look great!
Second, look into buying the OEM foglight switch from an accord, it gives the dash that OEM look.
Lastly...5.5 HOURS? ARE YOU CRAZY!!! LOL...that's dedication to your car lol.

Good job guys!

^^ You can wire them to the ACC fuse under the dash. That way they only turn on or off whem the key is in the ACC position, with or without any lights being on.

How did you wire it so you could turn the fogs on without the headlights? the DIY i looked at said even if you have a switch, you can't get it to do that
