Just wanna add my . This mod aint that hard its just time consuming. I had it done for me, but watched the guy do it. The installation requires alot of shaving and patience. I have an 04 as well. It came out very nice, especially if your getting the accord fogs they will need to be shaved. Where are you located?

You can also get the OEM switch that you can place next to your VSA switch. I ordered that from hondaacuraworld.com. When you order the accord fogs they come with a switch but it does not fit flush like the OEM one does. Ill post pics of that as well. I also installed HID's in both sets of my fogs

Some have been asking for pics so heres some. It just rained and its still light out, so night pics wil have to wait and yes i need to get my bumper repainted...





These are the headlamps. They are the HID bulbs i ordered from excelerate before the HID EXTRA post was put up. They are the KAIXEN 6000k. But i have the HID's from HIDEXTRA in the accord fog mod and i like them alot better.



Here are the HID's from HID EXTRA and the Accord fog mod HID's 6000k





Fog Light Honda Switch from hondacuraworld.com

they didn't have to cut the top of the fogs? i dunno i think i cut way too much on mine and need to fix it. wish i was in NYC to take some fuck'ed up pics of my try. i'll see when i get back. i also put mine more deep into the bumper so you cant see the top nor too much of the bottom. ima try to "mold" it into the bumper to cover up the gaps from my OD cutting and if that dont work, cop me another set and try again.
ebay accord fogs (X2) - $90
dremel and cutting tools - already had
having someone do this for you - $200ish
doing it yourself - PRICELESS!!! minus the wife being mad cuz your spending all your time working on the car with the bumper in your living room while your grinding away LMAO

lol bro sorry took so long its been really shitty out. Yah trial and error they only 90 bucks. We had to shave all around until it fit nice and snug in there. Took us all day trial and fit.

night pics as promised

Headlights stock fogs and accord fogs


Parking lights and accord fogs, we set the accord fogs to be able to turn on with just having to put the parking lights

hey op while you are there, you should look into also clearing headlights and installing ZKWr lens in there since you removing the bumber already....

also do you plan on having hid bulbs? have everything ready so it can be all installed at once.

Just tap the wires that turn on your parking lights now....
Take a voltmeter...turn on ur parking lights and look for the right wires. Or just trace the wires leading from your lights and then do it that way

Does anyone know the OEM part number for the fog light switch? Is it the one from the 07-08 TL or another Acura? I can't find it anywhere online. Thought I would look before calling the dealership tomorrow.

I've heard complaints that due to the curvature of the TL bumper the Accord lights end up pointing to the outside of the car, instead of forward


Anyone had that issue ?
