Fog lights add

What does it take to add fog lights to 2017 TLX Tech? I assume that wiring is all there? And panel switch?
Thanks

I would ask the closest dealer. You can't be the first to ask and you won't be the last. I'm sure you're doing this for the look, not the function, because I'm sure you know the fogs contribute little-to-no enhancement to the forward lighting.

I poked around acurapartsnow.com out of my own curiosity.
  • The fog light assembly appears to fit 15-17. That should surprise no one. I think the bumper inserts pop out for the fog light housing.
  • I'm sure you would need a new turn signal arm as I'm sure Acura didn't give people without fog lights the switch on the stalk to control lights that aren't there.
  • Under wiring harness (4), item 4 in the schematic diagram is sub-wiring front bumper. This part shows up under the Advance trim, but not the Tech. If you access that part through Advance then change vehicle to Tech, it says it's not available. I'm guessing this is what you need and you don't have. I bet this wires the parking sensors, fog lights and ACC radar on the Advance to fuse box/switches/ECU. Again, no reason for Acura to give people wiring for devices that aren't there. You'd have to ask a dealer how difficult it is to add this harness.

See attached instructions for 2018 and up the fog light install from Acura.

I imagine previous years would be similar
