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!

I too have this problem !!

I just tried the fog mod using H9's aswell would not fit in slot's, followed yfin's DIY seemed basic, but said nothing about modifying tabs to fit in slots !!

Has anyone else had this problem with H9's not fitting in slots?

sorry to be obnoxious but, i haven't done H9 mods cause i will be losing my foglights when i get bumper installed.

But in yfin's DIY, doesnt he cut the tab on the bulb so it's compatible with H9 socket?
my mate also said it was a pain to cut the tab out on teh bulb as there is limited room to stick cut in.

gday mate. easy fix. What I recommend you do is put the h11 and modified H9 bulb side by side. I think the tabs on your H9 bulb are sticking out compared to the h11 - it is a 10 second job with pliers to bend them back - just be careful not to damage the bulb itself. Or you could shorten them with tin snips.

My foglights just arrived http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...X:IT&viewitem=

i want to paint the outside R81 Milano red to match my car.

Question: When can i buy a small spray can of R81? Any ideas? I dont want to use tiny touch up paint.

Will supercheap or autobarn have this??

^ most autobarn stores now have paint mixers so you should be able to get it from there, i think they even match paint colours so they take off your fuel lid and match it with that.
