PIAA Foglights, Blackened Grill, Chrome Trim

I gotcha. That does look nice.

I assumed the bulbs would be "chrome". I see a lot of tuner vehicles running around with different colored turn signals, back up lights, etc. and thought that is what was suggested.

Where do you get the chrome turn signals?

I bought mine on eBay for ~$13 shipped. There are other sources of course.

Another lighting change you might consider is replacing the headlights with Silverstars or GE Nighthawks. They cast a white light compared to the OEM lights. You should be able to find these online for about $20.

I have the Silverstars in. I had them in my Accord that I had before the Ridgeline. I really like the white light they cast. The PIAA foglights I have actually have a whiter light to them which makes the Silverstars less impressive when viewed by others.

I just put an order in with a local "Tuner Shop" for some PIAA Fog/Driving lights and have scheduled an installation for next Saturday...I'll post up pics when I get the truck back.

BTW, I'd like to thank those of you who have posted up your chrome bumpers...thanks for making me feel I need another add-on.

Your fog lights look great. I have one question, how well do they work in fog?

I like the blackened grill did you do it yourself ? Spray paint it ? of did you have it done somewhere ?

It's an OEM Honda option. You can buy it from your dealer or thru H&A (a ROC sponsor). It's very easy to install. For my RTL, I removed the grill and painted the interior chrome bars black. You can see it in my signature below. I saved a few bucks and got the satisfaction of DIY.

NEVA's post showed a blacked out painted grill, was wondering what he used for paint as well and did he clear it so the paint doesn't chip? Thinking this could be done at home in the garage without even removing the grill from the truck...

I used paint designed for the engine (three coats), 200 grit sand paper and rubbing alcohol to prep the surface after sanding. I did remove the grill rather than mask it while on the RL.

It's been over one year and its looks like I painted it yesterday!
