The Only Fog Light Thread You Should Ever Post In

[fabulous010]

i agree with u guys totally. thats why i asked first. i have hids on the fogs and i have a feeling that with the film, it might melt, bubble or even get a "burn" mark after so many hours of extreme heat from the hids. and with the tint spray im afraid of discoloration of the lense or even getting run marks on the lenses. i would much rather go with the jdm yellow lenses but there hard to come by for our models (especially the lenses by them selves) andd especially in canada...

Unfortunatly I'll have to say ebay.

My experience was with some of the clear 3M film, and it basically melted when my fog lights were on with aftermarket halogen bulbs.  When the film melted, if I was driving at night in the summer time, mosquitos and bugs would get stuck into the melted film and then burn and turn brown.  Mike's suggestion of eBay is really your only option.  I would buy the cheapest eBay kit that you can find that has glass lenses.  Plastic lenses will melt.  I've done it one already.

that fuse box under the dash board on the drivers side, is there anything thats 12v there? i just dont want to tamper with my ignition harness...

I posted this for a reason man.  Accord Wiring Guide

i heard another 12v application would be the radio but thats hard to get to. plus anytime my radio would be on with the car off my fogs would be on and i would always have to turn them off.

Sure, you could wire it to your radio harness if you really want to.  I think you're complicating things by trying to figure out when your fog lights will be on.  I'm going to simplify it for you.  If you follow my instructions, you can turn your fog lights on when your car is in "run".  They will not work when your car is off.  It's just that simple.  If you really want to tap a wire from your fuse box, have at it.  I can't guarantee the results though.

I thought yellow lens foglights was an option from factory for our coupes. Hmmm

[Skippy]

I just read that you have HID's in the fog light housings....damn.  I was going to suggest yellow bulbs because it looks really good with a clear lens.  What color temperature are the bulbs? Would you consider stepping down to 3000k if you found them? 3000k are yellow/amber in comparison to the 4000+k bulbs.

[fabulous010]

i already have the 3000k hidswith clear lense. im not too happy with the yellow tho. they re like more of a white-ish yellow. i would much prefer an ion yellow set up. like the older lexuses.

One of our squad members has yellow fogs that look real good. I'm not sure which route he went though. You can PM and see what he's got- Marioemd.

I know ebay got fog lights that come in yellow lens already. I'm not sure how it would look with the 3000K HID kit. The bulbs that came with the fogs were regular white H11's, but when turned on they gave a nice bright yellow look to me so maybe brighter yellow when paired up with the 3000K.

thanks Johnnyboy!

I couldnt find it on here.  So I waswondering if we could get it transfered to here, or someone could tell me what wire it is that you cut and which wire you splice it too.  BTW im talking about the mod so you can run the fogs without the headlights on

[timot_one]

There are a couple of methods.  You can wire them so your fog lights turn on with your parking lights, and so they turn on independently of your parking lights and headlights.  What do you want to do?

[Slammedk24]

I guess when the i turn the parking lights on, I didnt even know there were two different ways.  but since I have HIDs in my fogs do recommend one over the other since they would flash when unlock and lock the car.  Or is there no way around it

[timot_one]

Well, you could turn your fog lights off when you get out of your car.  Then they won't flash when you lock and unlock your car.  You could also wire them independently so they turn on and off only with the fog light switch when your car is running, regardless of your parking lights and headlights being on and off.
