Waldo87....My apologies for being late to the party but let me congratulate you on your GORGEOUS ILX!! You did great work on your mod and glad all worked out in the end! The effort was well worth it by looking at the pics!!
Let me ask you this, are you just satisfied, or totally fucking blown away?
And as a follow up, will you now keep your fog lights set to turn on every time your headlights activate? #NoMoreHalogenFogEmbarrassment
Also gotta say, damn that white looks good now with the perfect color matched JewelEyes, DRL Strip, and Fogs on!
Oh trust me, the first thing I did when I got done was to leave the fog lights turned on with my headlights set to auto.
Right now I'm satisfied, but I don't think it's completely sinked in yet because I haven't driven it at night yet. We took my wife's Murano yesterday, so I haven't gotten to really experience them. I can't wait to go for a drive tonight though.
I definitely love the white on this car, but I'm soooo jealous of your blue! I wanted the blue really bad, but all they had in stock was black and white.

Why thank you! Couldn't have done it with Thmanx's suggestions and help
Once nightfall hits and you realize you have beautiful white light hitting the side walks to both sides of your car visible out your driver side and passenger side windows... You'll be well... Hehe... You'll have to tell me which explicit you used to discribe it
And yeah, definitely leave it to auto, that way when ever you unlock your car at night with the handle or better yet, from 100ft away in a dark parking lot. BAM!!
I even set my Auto off timer to 60 seconds just to keep em on longer before I get too and from my vehicle lol.
So it's definitely a huge improvement! The LED bulbs really do reach both sides of the road, it's pretty insane. My wife could care less about these kind of things, but even she's impressed with everything. Both the fogs and license plates were well worth the money and they complete the look of the car. Damn you Acura for not doing this from the start!
By the way, it's so funny how in my before & after picture, the headlights look blue in the before because of the fogs looking yellow and then in the after, they just look white.
Same thing happened to my GF. She didn't like using the fogs before when they were halogen. Now she leaves em set to auto every time. It makes the car look way more modern, best upgrade bulb I've ever seen.
Your camera was probably trying to white balance the photo to the Amber Street lights. Pushing your headlight into the blue.
The background looks more true to life with the led bulbs on since it wasn't trying to alter the color temp.
I'm glad your happy with the lights, I was refreshing this page all day waiting for the update lol
Correct, any vehicle that uses the H8/H11/H16 sized bulbs.
Vehicles like the '13+ accord will see a noticeable improvement since those vehicles ship from the factory with lower wattage H8's. (maybe due to its relatively narrow housing to prevent heat related chrome failure)
The LED's will inherently run a lot cooler then a Halogen bulb, so theres no problem upgrading to the H11 spec'd Philips into a H8 housing.
Thmanx, have you had the morimoto led fogs before? I was considering those, but based on your post, the philips h11 bulb may be a better bet. Im curious as to the output difference between going with the philips vs the morimoto fogs
I highly suggest them. I looked at the morimoto fogs you mentioned. No idea on their quality though. I would be upset to get them and find they arent as wide as these philips. Love the wide beam.
