2013-2014 Honda Accord Fog Light Tutorial

[@jasenh6]

just followed your steps to the tee. Perfect, thanks for the info and no trip to the Honda dealer.

[@Aldiggi]

Very helpful. Thank you so much. Great instructions. My installation was so easy because of your video.

[@ducducgoose]

You are welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@noughsenough6386]

Awesome. Thank you. I just bought a 2013 Accord EX-L and the mechanic attempted to repair the fog light before we got the car. He pulled out the bumper cover along the bottom trying to get to it and must have given up when he couldn't figure it out. So now all the hardware is broken and missing from the cover and the fog light still doesn't work. Hacks!! So now I will fix it the correct way because of your help. Thank you,,,

[@ducducgoose]

You will probably save a lot of money from the mechanic as well lol. Good luck!

[@careywalton1]

I did this bulb install today and there is a one different step that I would take. The first screw you showed by reaching underneath the driver's side and having to use a floor jack. I tried that and then stopped. I decided to take the black trim/bezel out first. Then with a light from below and guiding the screw driver up through the opening all the while I was sitting in front of the bumper and watching where the head of the screw driver went was much easier. Everything else was the same as you did. But you did not mention the clip that holds the wire tubing in place needs to be undone to get the assembly out completely. But all in all it was a good video and gave me the bases as to changing out the light bulb.

[@ducducgoose]

Glad that it was helpful! I did this when there wasn't much information on how to change the fog light. Good to know there's another method! Thanks!

[@MontanaWelldigger]

Thanks a lot for posting, I should have checked out your video before I wasted 30 min. on my back in the driveway trying to figure it out.

[@ducducgoose]

You're welcome!

[@Striker50_]

Pro tip: You can leave the bottom under screws loose so that you don't have to go under the car in the future. The exterior fog light cover snaps in very securely on its own

[@odysseusbaltazar814]

Clean and easy to follow instructions.

[@bloodrune329]

Just a quick tip, I just finished and I thought the video explained it perfectly, but if you live in an area where rust is common, the first screw you unscrew might fall out because all the components in there are rusty

[@ducducgoose]

Thanks for th tip! I'm sure it's useful for those who lives in the rust belt.

[@Striker50_]

Also, it is ok to drive without those bottom screws in step 1 As long as 1, or 2 Phillips are attached on the inside of the bottom fog light unit, the fog light will stay attached securely

[@corona22707]

Thanks for the video. I found this really helpful.

[@cesaret9062]

Nice and easy to understand, good job.

[@JoseFigueroa-lb1ku]

Best detailed video in the world

[@Striker50_]

Just made a video on this! You're the OG! 2014!!? NICE

[@ducducgoose]

That's awesome! And yes it's a 2014!

[@gerards962]

Thanks, clear and concise! A+

[@huuductran3013]

Thankyou for your time

[@qaisyar3537]

Thanks for the video, very helpful

[@johnnybgoode2333]

I've seen another video that shows on the passenger side you just undo 2 pins/clips and can access the bulb. But you have to take out the whole fixture on driver side.

[@Striker50_]

You can access it by removing the lower weather stripping, but this method is honestly not that hard either. I don't retighten the lower screws once I do this so that I can replace them even quicker in the future without having to go under the car

[@johnjkizer6399]

Hey what's going on Le, I like how u make your videos, you actually show every little step and detail, Thanks so much. it has help me in changing leds, footwell lights, etc..., keep up the amazing job and God Bless john k

[@ducducgoose]

Thanks for the kind words john!

[@excessmaterial]

Hey Duc, great tutorial vids on your channel. Really helped me out in a few situations with my 9th Gen Accord. I had a question though. Is there any way to adjust the foglight aim at all on these sedan foglights? The reason I ask is my passenger side one is loose in the housing, and without removing the bumper I can't seem to see anything that gives me access to tightening anything on the foglight housing to make it stay in place more firmly. Do you know of any screw that does this behind the bumper or on the foglight itself?

[@ducducgoose]

Thanks for the positive comment! I appreciate it, as for adjusting the fog light, you can adjust it vertically. Check this link out www.collegehillshonda.com/instructions/accord/2014/foglights.pdf it should show you how to adjust the fog light. It's towards the bottom of the pdf. I hope this will resolve your issue. Good luck!

[@excessmaterial]

Duc Le Ah, thank you. It seems to have an aim screw just like the headlights. Very convenient. It seems to only show the location of the screw from the perspective of the driver side foglight, but I assume there's a hole in the bottom of the plastic and a screw on the passenger side.

[@ducducgoose]

excessmaterial you are indeed correct. Use a long phillip screw driver and you should be able to adjust up and down. I believe I also had to do this before because my passenger side was aiming higher than my driver side.

[@excessmaterial]

Duc Le Yeah that's basically the same thing I've got going on with my car. It was like that since the day I got it a few weeks ago. I think if I just adjust them to match on both sides and maybe both up a little higher I'd use them more. As they are right now they're pointed way too far down onto the ground. I can't even see them on at night from the driver seat unless I stick my head out the window.

[@Striker50_]

When reattaching it, make sure the 2 clips align into the slots I made a video showing that detail If the clips are not aligned into the slots, the Fog Lights will bounce around Hope that helps

[@mufc1992smr]

I have a 2014 LX accord wondering if I can take the plastic grill and replace it for fog lights. Is that possible?

[@Saundra7]

Salvador Moran One of my friends was a tech for Honda and he added fog lights to mine. Also don't forget about looking up a fuse if you wire it up to the car. He installed an independent switch through the firewall and into the dash assembly to turn them on and off. Hope this makes sense.

[@Striker50_]

Try popping it off and seeing if you have the fog light bracket behind it. You would also need to wire fog lights in

[@wymotome]

If you are just replacing the bulb in the foglight, then please don't through the hassle of removing the entire foglight. Just two clips on the bottom of the splash shield/plastic under the front bumper is all that is needed to get at the back of the foglight and replace the bulb. It's a 45 second job per side...that's it.

[@tousshong9438]

So, on the driver side you don't have to remove the whole assembly as seen on here? Basically, just removing the clipping on plastic cover then access the bulb?

[@oldtwinsna8347]

+Tom Shong not possible for driver side as there is a large resonator box for the air filter that completely obstructs access. passenger side you can do this though.

[@thatshype_]

What are the size for these lights?

[@Joojoo733]

I got water trap fog light on drive side I don’t know what to do with it😢

[@ducducgoose]

First figure out where the leak come from. For now you can take the fog light assembly out and remove the light bulb. Pour the water out from the bulb socket and leave it out to dry. That would probably be a temporary solution.

[@dhakpatenzin569]

Thank u so much it really works 😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@ducducgoose]

you're welcome! :D

[@ericyi9290]

Thx for the vid! I'm slightly confused at 1:40, does the tab inside need to be pressed up with the flathead? Or are we just using the screwdriver as leverage to pull the housing off? I'm scared of breaking off that tab

[@ducducgoose]

If you loosen the compression screw in the beginning of the video, it should allowed you to take off the black trim piece. If you're scared of breaking it, get a plastic prying tool and work your way around the black trim piece until you have a nice gap where you can stick your fingers behind the trim piece. Then you can use your fingers to work around the piece to take it off. Good Luck!

[@Striker50_]

It's very flexible plastic and bends so that it allows you to slide your fingers and pull that exterior fog light cover off

[@keetruong8693]

I have a Honda Accord Sedan LX ... Do you know if i can install "Fog Light"

[@ducducgoose]

i think you can, but you will need a separate toggle switch to turn it on/off.

[@Twinski98]

@@ducducgoose where can i buy the cover i had my fogs installed on lx just need the black cover piece around it

[@ryannguyen5096]

I lost 2 screws on the passenger side lol now I only had 1 screw holding the fog light. You know what are the sizes of the screws so I can replace them Duc?

[@ducducgoose]

lol I knew someone would drop the screw, well there' are 2 options. 1) take out the entire fog light and get a magnet, move it around and hope that the screw sticks to it 2)take the screw that you still have and find another one similar to it. I'm not exactly sure the size or thread of the screw is, You can try and go to home depot or lowes and find a replacement for it. It won't be too hard.

[@Striker50_]

You'll be fine with 1 screw, I've been driving like that for years There are tabs that secure the fog light into the bracket so 1 screw should be plenty good

[@stupidboy80]

do u also do the same procedure to the passenger side?

[@ducducgoose]

Yes same steps as the driver side

[@407yaviah]

Thank you sir

[@tjkarijo9766]

hey nice job , question is the fog light assemb. kit original or is it aftermarkt ??? i wanted to install a aftermarkt kit on my accord sedan

[@ducducgoose]

The fog light is OEM.

[@B8_ghostt]

I tried a lot of screwdrivers and they didn’t fit in the screw it was very difficult to get it out, I got out everything except the screw that was at the bottom so it didn’t let me get out the fog light, I think I’m going to try to remove the driver side wheel and the remove the inside plastic part of the bumper and just try that 😓😓 ( i don’t know if it has to be a particular size of screwdriver to get the screw out, because I couldn’t)

[@ducducgoose]

You would need a pretty long Phillip screw driver i would say at least over 8in to reach the screw at the bottom

[@Striker50_]

I used an 8" screwdriver and it was way longer than needed

[@amexpendragon9329]

thanks for this , should be the same on a 2015 right?

[@ducducgoose]

yup

[@Jonathaneve5]

Is there another screw to release for the passenger side or that one particular screw releases both fog lights? Thanks.

[@ducducgoose]

the steps are the same for both driver and passenger side.

[@Jonathaneve5]

Thanks a lot bro!

[@ALTooLoaded]

What happens if I don’t get the trim screw back in?

[@ducducgoose]

The fog light housing might not be secured and potentially fall off.

[@ALTooLoaded]

@@ducducgoose thanks. I’m gonna try again tomorrow. There’s a solid quarter inch gap too, in between the housing and fog light😩

[@ducducgoose]

@@ALTooLoaded oh dang, what's causing such a big gap?

[@ALTooLoaded]

@@ducducgoose I’m thinking I didn’t align the fog light in the right way and screwed it down.

[@Jia1337]

So to install a new fog light, I just take the whole thing out, right? Are there extra steps?

[@ducducgoose]

Yes just follow the steps if you want to switch out the light bulb on the fog light.

[@Jia1337]

How bout the entire piece

[@ducducgoose]

if you disconnect the lightbulb, you're basically taking the whole entire fog light assembly out.

[@Jia1337]

Alright, thanks man. I am planning to install new fog lights on my LX, which doesn't have any.

[@tal1809]

***** Did you install them? How did it work out? Which the fog light kit did you get? I have a 2014 LX and want to do the same thing.

[@kenisinoregon]

Will this installation tutorial also work for the accord sport 2015?

[@ducducgoose]

+kenisinoregon yes it should be the same for 2015 sport.

[@kenisinoregon]

Thanks for the reply. I have another question. Do i really need a jack to do this installation? I dont want to spend money on a jack just for this installation. Thank you

[@ducducgoose]

it would be hard without a jack, but I think it's still doable.

[@Striker50_]

is an hid kit necessary? or is just a bulb fine?

[@BienvenidoOrtiz]

Duc Le - thanks for the video. quick question: do you have any H8/fog lights favorite? I am starting to look for one and I am not sure what to get, or what should i be looking for?

[@ducducgoose]

Sorry for the late reply, but this is what I went with. Nokya hyper yellow 3000k. I also tinted my fog log yellow just to add some flare lol, but it's really up to you of which H8 bulbs you like. There are a lot of them out there.

[@emanuelemanuel3811]

Hi, which gas have you put in your Honda? I have been putting 89, someone told me I have wasted my money. should I switch to 87 or keep putting 89??

[@ducducgoose]

Emanuel Emanuel use whatever octane rating your manufacturer recommended. In this case the car can use 87, but you can use higher rating octane. It doesn't hurt the engine but you will be paying a little more.

[@emanuelemanuel3811]

thx man, do you know if 89 provides any performance better than 87?

[@Phantom_Shades]

What size are the led fog lights for 2014 accord sport sedan?

[@ducducgoose]

If you want to know all the bulbs sizes from your car, google ---> www.hidnation.com/ Put your car's info and you will find all you need.

[@adalberto905]

Bobzeda yes, H8-H9-H11 are all the same.

[@loveapple1004]

Hi i did same way. problem is drivere side and passenger side fog hight is different. do you have any idea why hight is different?

[@ducducgoose]

the only difference is the compression screw where the driver side it was attached to a metal piece where as the passenger side the screw was attached to the foglight itself. That's the only difference. I can't think of anything else that might be difference.

[@Jonathaneve5]

How long of a screw driver do I need exactly?

i would say 10 inches would be able to reach the screw.

[@ducducgoose]

You're right, I got a set of jack stand now.

[@Striker50_]

You can do this by driving to the edge of an incline driveway Safety first good call

[@goodmandiad2713]

This does not work on a V6. Can not see any of those screws. Passenger side you can pull the splash shield off. Driver side looks like the air intake must come off.

[@ducducgoose]

Thanks for letting me know, I don't have a V6 so I couldn't confirm it.

[@chrisblanton1087]

You don’t have to remove the entire fog lamp. There is plenty of room underneath removing one clip.

[@Torino117]

That's true on the passenger side. But from what I've seen on a couple videos there's a large resonator box right behind the driver side assembly. (I want to change mine in the easiest way too)

[@chrisblanton1087]

Torino117 I hit a deer this summer and had significant damage to the front end. Body shop took it all apart. I actually called them out on it that there is a piece that connects to the bottom of the air box they told me no. I’d be interested to know what this piece looks like so I can get it. I was actually going to check some salvage yards. I haven’t been able to find a good diagram online.

It's the resonator chamber on the bottom right, just makes the air intake quieter. I remember on my 98 Accord I actually pulled it out and left the open hole under the air filter box, acted like a poor mans cold air intake.
