H11
i m currently using Polarg 5000K, not bad. However, i had Mtec before, it's cheaper + it is SOLID crystal white.
you can't really tell unless you have polarg and mtec next to each other, the mtec is slight whiter than polarg

[lilwilliam]

price ranges? and where can they be sourced? i know there is a where to buy section but its pointless to create a new thread.

Follow this DIY - it is cheaper, brighter, whiter than any H11 fog light you can buy on the market.

i actually recommended my friend to do as the DIY said. I sourced a set of H9's and carried out the mod. I didn't fit them as i didn't have access to a hoist or anything. but my friend took it to honda dealership and said it was the wrong one.
i thought maybe they were just lazy.
so my friend tried a panel shop where his car was getting repaired, and they said it was wrong as well.
it's just a standard 07 accord euro, with the standard HID headlights. any ideas why?

thanks!

agree with yfin.

i followed the DIY with the H9 bulbs and the results are really good, better than i expected!

You don't need a hoist to get access to the fog light bulbs. Look in your user manual it shows you how to do it.

yeah?

but do you think the workshops are just lazy? or....

no some H9 bulbs have the metal 'guides' slightly in different positions hence not being able to fit into the groves of the H11 socket.

however because it is only slightly off you should be able to cut the 'guides' a little with some tin snips or just bend the 'guides' slightly and it should fit. just be careful when doing so, so you don't damage the bulb itself

that must be the reason why they 'didn't fit'

gee, this forum gets some good activity. should get a honda...

Because it's not standard, of course they won't fit it.

Got a question, want to get some foglights installed (Genuine ones from Honda) for my 05 Std Euro. Are they worth it? They want $500 fitted, do you find the stock bulbs are bright enough or what? What's the best move to do, not get the foggies or buy them and replace the bulbs?
