Update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes yes yes !!!!


J. Mode is done Parking lights with upper fogs

Matt (McCollins23) CAI is done

Little progress on the Inspire Fog is done

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

So I connected these to my parking light



NOOOOOOOOOO Dashed red and blue wire is the signal



This was the right side.
White is signal again









INTAKE










That's the bottom of the filter. Fits nice Matt
+
I definitely have to install the Inspire Fogs, other wise I am screwed during winter in Boston.

After fogs... perfect









I love em
Reason I wanted to wire them to the parking bulb is when I unlock/lock the car
They all light up















Was around 36F yesterday...killed me
I am not sure to go out and work on the fogs today
It's 38 right now

I know right
I call it "The J. Mode" I saw it on his car first haha

Can't wait to see them with Inspire Fogs

Inner line of the fog that's matching with the headlights will look so awesome

like this
\ ACURA /





This is the reason why I tapped them in to parking light.
I want to see them all the time

Making the independent fog switch mode only lights up when ignition is on (wiper motors)

great job, Meko...ironically, I always thought about getting all amber to match too...only difference is mine are a drl module I can turn off. I am assuming you can no longer turn off the fogs then?

Also, get to friggin work on those fogs. I want guidance for Austin's install!

Thanks J.

Yup I know you got DRL module, I can't turn them off.. meh I never did after installing those orange leds anyway..

Your set-up looks good because sidemarkers are even white

It's easy dude. You installed Accord Fogs..should be much easier for you
but almost there..

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...9#post14376699

Haha Thanks Austin.
Orange looks good because of the ASM.
Stands out as well...

But on your black TL, white stands pretty sexy.
Keep it like that

Dude I left the parking lights on, so I could see them working while tapping
I finished the right side
Tapped the left side as well...working nice
The second I connected the last triton signal...boom
I am like whatt da fuhhh hahahah

Yeah fuse was in the engine bay. Red 10 amp one, on the right side Thanks

I want that independent switch if they will light up without the ignition is on

Bro this CAI is just awesom.
Bigger diameter + bigger filter Oh my god
Low RPM pull is much much much better

I feel like opening up a thread about it. If you have stock intake and want to change it. Only smart way is DC because it's cheap, cut the bottom part, add AEM filter. Done

Where is Matt, he was going to do it

Good update man.
FYI; my Fujita intake sits lower than that and I haven't had problems this past year. Definitely baby the car though, always watch out for puddles. We should meet up for a quick shoot once the weather gets better.

Meko, I do not disagree the Maserati does steal the show....it sounds awesome and it is a true exotic....but if you are going for raw power, it doesn't even come close to the GTR

u kidding me?

I foresee a GTR for the track, Maserati GT as my daily, Range Rover Evoque as the family car....

the TL will always be my "experimentational" car

Cold weather excuses are invalid after all the pics you posted of you outside in that snowstorm during the entire thing...
