Honestly. I dont even think a upgrade to the Morimotos would be necessary. The sirius fogs are bright as all hell and match perfect.

I appreciate the compliments though. Gotta make my baby stand out from the rest of the crowd :D
You may be right in keeping the sirius fogs once I see how good they are. Would definitely save some $$, or use for something else :)

BTW your car does looks nicely detailed. Personally what I use as my routine program is the Optimum No Rinse Wash and Wax, Meguiar's Synthetic X-Press Spray and Wax, Mother's VLR Interior Detailer, and Stoner Invisible Glass Cleaner. I know it's not the most intense care, but I love the combination of performance and efficiency. Sorry to others on this thread for changing topic momentarily.
As long as the car looks good right? The only thing about my car is I have to drive right by the local dump truck matinence site, so my car gets detailed and then in 3 days looks like I drove through a swarm.

That and the dealership has scracted 7 rims on my car Scratched my original set. So they replaced all four....and scratched 3 of the replacements, so im getting another 3 replacements. Im not sure if the EX-T rims arent compatible with Honda balancers or what, but 7 scratched rims? No no no.

Haven't done anything with the headlights or fogs yet but I swapped out the side markers (same set OP got) and used LED bulbs from here https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013SW3SU0/

The LEDs didn't arrive until a few days after the side markers so I did have the halogen amber bulbs installed. Not really a significant difference between the two. The LEDs probably have a more Amber color than the Hallogens but the brightness was about the same.
Side note, the bulb for the driver's side marker was easily swappable both times.. but the passenger side was a pain to get off (ended up breaking the amber halogen).

I got the HIKARIs yesterday, and I get the sirius fogs today. The HIKARIs are amazing. Plenty bright, and they blow out other cars halogens with ease.

Ill also post a video from my dashcam with the HIKARIs and the sirius fogs when I get them installed tonight.
Hey @SoSublime are you still running this setup for bulbs? No issues?

I wanna upgrade to the led bulbs so bad but I'm scared how long they will last . I have some Phillips here bulbs and they're tad brighter than stock bulbs . I need some brighter lights as I drive a lot of back roads in the morning to work and it's dark as shit lol
