Told friend about the Morimoto option and he installed it on his 15 MDX and it look as bright, if not brighter than the OEM ones on my brother's MDX. I would expect the same results for the RX as well.

I've been busy with work and soccer lately and haven't washed the car in over a month, so please excuse the dirty RX. Due to the tight space, I could not use my DSLR, we'll have to live with the pictures taken with my phone.

1st Picture - Tools:
- I cut out a piece of cardboard to have something to sit/lay down on
- a philips screwdriver
- ratchet wrench 10mm socket worked well for me
- trim removal tool (you can get by with a flat bladed screw driver)
- a small flashlight,
- my trusty Craftsman floor jack (optional, not needed but definitely helps)




2nd Picture - Remove screws and clips of fender liner
- Turn the wheels away from the side you're working on to give more space
- remove two retaining clips on the outer edge of the fender, they stand vertical, rotate them horizontal then pull out
- remove two clips holding the carpet (top arrow and right most arrow)
- remove 3 screws as shown at the bottom, the bottom most screw is accessible from beneath




3rd Picture - Carpet clip
- to remove the carpet clip, just pry out the center then pull the entire clip out




4th Picture - Driver's side fog light
- pull back the fender liner - I found it easiest to start out pulling away the bumper to release the fender liner, then pull the liner to the side
- looking inside, you can see the fog light is held on by a single screw (red arrow)
- the tabs on the opposite side simply insert into a slot
- Also visible:
-- the wire on top of the fog light is for the parking sensor
-- the black/white hose on the upper/right of the fog light is for the headlight washer




5th Picture - Passenger side fog light
- pulling back the fender liner shows the passenger side fog light





6th Picture - Inside passenger side
- Again, the passenger side fog light is held on by only a single screw




7th Picture - Detailed view (passenger side)
- A view looking from the inside the bumper, showing the screw hole (circle) and the two slots through which the fog light tabs inserts (arrows)




8th Picture - Comparison
- Driver's side = LED foglamp
- Passenger side = Philips X-tremeVision Ultra H11
- Notice the difference; the LED fogs looks to be even whiter than the HID.




Removal/Installation was simple. It took me about 30 minutes to do this. Everything was plug & play

I hope this helps any DIYer out there - it's not as bad as you might think. Bumper removal absolutely NOT required!

After I get it washed and cleaned up, I'll have more pictures to share.
