Default Acura TL projector Fogs"?

Im looing for a new project and I thought ths might be fun, Does anyone think I could make foglight out of the acura tl/tsx factory projectors? Im pretty good with electronics ( I am almost done with my lt1 taillights with 250 10mm LEDs in each taillight, pics coming soon) So does anyne think it can be done? Any input is apreciated

Go for it. I did my headlights with HID projectors for my 98' and was thinking of doing LED taillights for my SS.

That is a good question. You would need a rubber boot to cover the back of the bulb and the wiring. Try your local hardware store and just look around and see what might work. Can't wait to see the pics of your tail lights.

Well if you seal them up real good I'm sure you could use them.

Would definitely like some info on those LED LT1's

Being as these are usually inside a headlight assembly I don't think they are too water-tight especially where the lens is.

They arent water tight at all, but the TSX's wouldnt be too hard to seal. The TL's would be very difficult.

Either way you are going to have to seal them up in a bunch of places.
