Fog lights (not Accord style)

has anyone tried putting fogs in a 05 tl that does not come with fogs that have hid. im looking for foglights that have projectors because those work alot better. I was thinking about buying mini morimotos....

My head hurts

You'll need a fog housing to install projectors, first.

Your 05 TL already has fog lights , They are in your headlight housing .

So im going to ASSume you are meaning that you want fog lights in the bumper like the 07+ TL's , correct ? Quite a few people have have done the Inspire fog lights and personally i think they look and flow with the body better than the accord fogs . Or you can try fitting the OEM 07 fogs i to your dumper . Either way your going to have trim/cut to get them to fit properly

Could OP want to convert the integrated fog lights into HIDs?

If so, then I am also curious, as I haven't seen something like that on the forums yet.

Sorry, I wasn't clear in my first post. I know a few people here have tossed HIDs in, but I've heard of other people here as well commenting on how simply tossing HIDs in will cause a lot of glare, scatter, etc. so...

...I'm curious if anyone has actually retrofitted the fog light area in a 04-05 TL.
