Default my bf got me fog lights...now what?

They are not fun to install, that's for sure. But, if you don't think you can do it correctly (or have the time), then call around to different Acura dealers to get quotes and have the cheapest one put them in.

If you do it yourself, just be careful and follow directions to the letter. You'll want to give yourself about half a day, easily, to install them. Chances are you'll start Sat morning and not have them done until later that night.

If you cannot do it you don't necessarily have to go to Acura to have them installed. There are many shops with capable people that will probably cut you a deal! Check around and good luck!

i did them myself, it was fun lol, just good luck getting an opening in the firewall to get your wires through to your button,
i had to go through a little hole in the glove box,
then come around the other side,
its all hidden, and worth it, looks great.

Huh? If they are OEM Acura foglights the wiring from the engine bay to under the dash is already there. You just plug and play.

If you use 'generic' foglights, then yeah--you'll have to run all of the wiring yourself.

With the foglights on, it would still look clean in my opinion.

Foglights are really easy to install. If you were in Los Angeles or willing to drive to me, I'll help you out.
Are they OEM or Ebay?
