Hey if you're on Facebook you should join this ILX Enthusiasts Group. There's about 900 members total and they are far more active on there than on these forums. I'm fairly sure someone on there knows the answer to this question, for instance.

there is a single screw you can access from under the bumper that locks the bezels in place. Its got a stopper so it cant fall out or anything.
Just loosen that screw all the way out, then pop the covers out with a screwdriver.

I actually went all the way through, til I got to the 4th clip then I pussy'd out and put everything back. I was scared of breaking the shit, then having to pay for a new fog light cover. Ultimately said "Fuck It.. Ill just pay for Installtion."

I got the Install done at Tint World, the guy tried to play me like I was stupid. Told me he'd have to charge me $150+ because they have to take off the bumper.. As you could probably guess, I laughed In his face. 😅

Long story short, they did It the right way and only charged me $54. That got me thinking... Thats how businesses take money out of peoples pockets? Smh, guess they gotta get paid. Cant knock'em for trying, lmao.

I say all that to say this, thanks for the Information lol.

Looks Great man. Out of curiosity, what lights did you go with as replacements? Been wanting to do this myself.

Thanks, I went with the PlaZma bulb for $22.95. Sorry for taking so long to respond, someone suggested that I join the Acura Ilx facebook fourms and I've been on that since.

your better off getting the factory led fogs, don't bother with aftermarket, they have crappy harnesses that will allow water to enter and seize the connector you'll see. Plus the glare of the bulbs on aftermarket will not be in the correct position for the factory reflectors and you will be blinding on coming traffic with light bleed.
