Default EBAY Fog light Review

I bought some "OEM" fog lights from the user MOTOR BLVD and am very displeased with the results. I had purchased a set for my RSX and the kit was easy to put together and fit well and no problems. this kit is a nightmare. The switch doesnt fit in the bezel, the directions are non existent, they don't follow the same materials as OEM and leave much to the imagination. Normally I would ONLY buy OEM because of reasons like this, but i had heard good reviews from this seller. I don't think I'll be going back for a 3rd try for another vehicle. PICS TO FOLLOW.

CLIFFS:

I never went aftermarket with my fogs on my cars, always OEM. I've never had problems with wiring. I highly recommend to anyone who are looking to buy fogs, go buy OEMs.

Sorry to hear you have a wiring nightmare.

well its possible they aren't the same as the ones I have. my wife is an engineer and I fly for the Air Force, we aren't idiots. It was a nightmare. If i could go back in time, i would buy OEM. I still might.

No disrespec!t bro, but just because you are a flyboy doesn't make you an electrician, mechanic, or even a butcher. I bought the ebay fogs for my wife's TSX and they were about the easiest accessory I have installed to date. It may have just been the kit you purchased. Hope you get everything squared away. I love the added light output of the fog lamps. Especially after the H.I.D. conversion

After owning this kit for 4+ years now, it was well worth the money.

The lenses are still intact unlike many OEM sets friends have that are busted.

The original harness never worked. I modified it extensively. The original fog light button never fit. I had to make my own switch.

I had the same problem. Stupid fog light harness didn't attach to the body/chassis harness.

The set I ordered off ebay worked and fit perfect, sucks that so many people have bad experiences with some of the things that are bought on ebay.

the wiring on these isnt rocket science, if you get confused there are tons of universal wiring diagrams online for them, it's a simple switch and relay

It's not when the connectors and switches they provide for you don't fit the OEM harness.

Thanks for the common sense answer though. We were all TOO stupid to figure it out.

I have ebay ones on my ek, only issue I have is the connections at the relay and switch, eventually i'll buy an EOM switch and a better relay and re-wire those.
