people keep saying they will melt the housing, but i dont know if anyone has done it and actually had it happen to them. Anyways if you do get the HIDs let me know if the melting is true or not.

most likely i will, and ill run an aftermarket flip switch, with a relay harness. would you guys know how to have it linked to the remote line of the headlight so it automatically shuts off?

ok change of plans, im going to get the stock fog light covers dremel them out and stick either piaa or hella fogs on that run hid's through them since people say light output isnt that great this will be a better solution and still look stock. I just need to know the demensions of the fog light covers if anyone knows or knows which fog light will be best other then stock let me know ill also do a diy on it when im finished.

HIDs would melt the pastic housing.

So after reading all the posts I'm still not to sure what to do.
I'm trying to install fog lights on my 03CL.
my questions are:
1. Do any other OEM fog lights fit the vent openning?
2. Can they be wired to a single switch and if so how?
3. How easy is it to clean the headlight housing?

Thanks

RideCL

Also, has anyone tried to make the 2002 fog lights clear, im not liking how they are cloudy.

I think I saw a thread where someone cut the lense off the lights and glued some clear lexan over it.

RideCL

Ok, ill search around,
whats the best place to order the parts for this mod?
Ive been looking and no luck..

NSX-Tuner

Go to an Acura parts department. That's where I got my parts.

He may be talking about the clear lexan mod.

Google McMaster-Carr. They have everything on their site. Good prices too and very fast shipping, I usually get my stuff in a day. If you find the thread you can use the glue they suggest, or you can go to a Nissan dealer and pick up headlight sealant. Its very good glue.

RideCL

Ok so I figured out what I want to do. I plan on using the stock fog light housing but modding it and inserting an LED strip. Along with painting the housing black and clearing the lens.
Whats the best way to wire the lights to either be independent of everything or only turn on with parking lights.
what do you guys think?

RideCL

Does anyone know of a switch that will fit in the empty slot by the sunroof bottons that will control the fogs????

The TL switch I believe.

02-03, the 99-01 may be the same but I dont know.

The 98-02 Accord may work too.

I love my fake vents on the 01. I just hit a rabbit the other night so the driver side one was shattered into pieces. CAN I BUY SOMEONES from here? I can send paypal. I live in upstate NY. I just need the driver side. Please PM me with the price, cheaper the better

civicdrivr

Theyre like $15 at the dealer.

Bursaliozer

Really? Thats not bad then, i havent checked the dealer yet.

civicdrivr

The pass side is $23 for some reason and the drivers side is $13. Check out acuraoemparts.com for the part numbers and to see what list price is. If your local dealer gives you list, tell them you saw it online at other dealers for less. They'll most likely drop the price.

Bursaliozer

i stopped by the dealer and they said $28 bucks. Too much i think. I would like to get one from someone here once they do this mod. Please let me know, thanks

Online dealers are your friend:

acuraoemparts.com or magauto.com

Not sure if this is okay to post here, but thought it would be easier for anyone that’s looking to do this....
I have ONE passenger 2002 Acura CL foglight assembly for sale. However, I tried to remove lens and upon doing so I disfigured the housing a little using too much heat. Other than that it has never been used. It still fits into the opening in the bumper and looks okay. The only reason I'm not using it is because I ordered a new one before I checked if it still fit.
Asking price: $20 (online price $35 +shipping)

RideCL

okay so I installed the fogs with the piaa bulb and now I want to upgrade to an HID setup. Has anyone done this yet or what? if so let me know what steps to take.

i would not put hid's into the 02 fogs they wont reflect right and HID's probably would melt the housing. If you were able to disfigure the housing with a heat gun the HID is a lot hotter.

gotjnco

Gonna give this a try... b/c the previous owner put on some aftermarket fog lights and they dont look clean...

LoveMeSomeCl-TypeS

What is the part that fits into this?

4) Light Socket 2P, Acura 2002 CLS, P/N 34303-SS1-003, qty 2, ($15)

The part that fits into the light socket which leads to the wires? I can't seem to find a replacement for it. Any help?

McMelrose35

Do you have any pictures??

LoveMeSomeCl-TypeS

The part that I thought was broken still works. Thanks anyway McMelrose.

paopao

Nice; plan to do this soon.

boostftw

thanks for this write-up I will be doing this on my CL soon.

Slobo7x

Any updates on this? I got an 03 type s and has no lights..

Will 2002-03 TL switch work?

Slobo7x

TL switch will work, but why not get some nice LED daytime running lights instead of factory fogs? It would be awesome to have some LED in there, of course it would have to be installed nicely so it looks factory.

helloha1

Does anyone know if the factory DRL is available easily and easy to install? according to wikipedia, canadian models had DRL

PELON32

let me bump this. noob. Correct me if im wrong but i am going to the junk yard and just removing everything from the tl, fogs, switch and harness to the fogs. Has any one tried this full route. I know itsunnecessary to do all that im just picky like that.
