Just bought an 06 Accord SE V6 -- Few Questions
Hi guys! I recently traded in a g35 coupe and picked up a 2006 Accord SE V6 w/leather. We also have a 2005 Acura MDX that we love -- so the Honda/Acura tradition runs deep in the family.
I have a couple questions, hopefully this aren't stupid, but searching hasn't helped me much. I could be searching for the wrong keywords, but I figure I'll ask anyway and hopefully someone can help me.
#1 - Can I add fog lights? I see my car has "grilles" where the fog lights would go, and I see Honda sells them for $400+, but is it difficult to do a self install? Any recommendations on kits, etc?
#2 - I have the grey leather interior with the "silver" trim, but I'd rather have either wood trim or carbon fiber black trim. Is this a replaceable option? Any recommendations?
#3 - My interior gauge dimmer switch doesn't seem to do anything. No matter how low or high I turn it, the lights also stay the same intensity, which appears to be locked on the highest setting. Is my control broken, or am I just missing something here?
#4 - Are there any decent HID kits available for this car? My g35 had a decent set of HID's on it, and I'm not really liking going back to the look of the old halogens.
Thanks guys!!

fog light kit can be purchased, we sell one FOR $251.25, this is a brand new accessory kit, from Honda. We have in stock ready to ship.
As far as the interior switch, sound like it is broken, A new one is about $22.00
let me know if there is anything else. and enjoy the new (to you) car!!!

You can buy interior trim kits from Honda (try Majestic Honda) or aftermarket on Ebay. Same with fog lights.
