This is something similar to what 'sonni kubba' was looking to do, so I am sure he will chime in at some point.

Yup, here's the 'idea' thread

http://www.6thgenaccord.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48097

I'd prefer to keep both park/brake taillights, but this method looks exactly like the EDM Accords.

Yeah, that. I still love those cars, the RS6 and even the S-line models from that gen look great imo. Lip spoiler made that back end.

I loved the RS6. One of the few cars that I think I could drive stock and be happy with. Too bad Audi no longer imports the RS6 sedan to North America, IMO RS6 >> RS7

Looks clean and OEM. But personally, I'm going to go with the actual edm rear fog. I'll be cutting my pumper for it to fit in. I already bought the rear fog, the only thing is that I'm really lazy to cut my bumper lol

Was it an A6? I think the 98-04 A6's had dual rear fog lights in a fixture that surrounded the rear license plate.

Nope. The one I saw was newer. I don't remember which model. I think it was a RS4. Here is the only picture I could find. You can only see one in the picture but both sides had them.

Looks good and I like the fact that its a different way but to me it would bug the hell out of me because it looks like you have a brake light out.

+1


Its a Cool mod!, BUT wont the cops also think its out?

If I owned a coupe I would definitely like to do this, but I would do mine in the reverse light. They sell reverse switchbacks from white to red. (Assuming all that is needed is the correct bulb Size)

I would wire it up to be red when on, and when I want to reverse it would switch back to white. Simple wiring since that is what switchbacks do lol. I wonder how it would look since "red" is the fog light color for the back, going thru the clear lens? Ehhh just a thought for the coupes wanting to do this mod.

GOOD WORK OP!!!

Obviously if there was a way to not make them blink,... (should be)
because on a turn signal the relay goes on off on off...maybe since the reverse have no on off action it will stay white while reversing? Just a thought

I don't own switchbacks but I'am assuming It would work since it wont be on the turn signal going on and off, just white while reversing the rest of the time Red.

I want to apologize to Sunni_kuba and the members that posted here for not reading the link he provided, I feel like a dumba$$ lol :Boo:. I was at work when I posted the switchback idea. Did you get around to it? Or waiting for the swap first?

No need to apologize, actually, I felt better about my idea seeing that somebody else thought of it independently. Actually, I haven't seen my car for over a month now, it's being carefully ripped apart and stuffed with Acura goodies :licklips:

I'm glad the switch worked out for you. I didn't think it would fit even close to as well as it does.
