Default does anyone else hate JDM foglights for EG? Any other options?

I've searched around a bit and haven't really found what I'm looking for. I absolutely hate the way the JDM foglights look with the grey housing and yellow foglight filling up the vent. I want foglights, but there's no way I'm installing that onto my hatch (I'm not trying to start arguments, personal opinion).

So my question is this, has anyone ever stepped out of the box as far as foglights go? I've seen EK foglight conversions, but I'm not into that either. I really like the way bugeye subaru foglights look. Like this:



I want to do some sort of retrofit or custom setup to get a similar look like this. I'm not asking for your opinion on the idea, I'm asking if anyone has ever done this or if you guys could steer me in the right direction. Please don't come in here hating on it, lets keep this clean. I would really appreciate some good input. Thanks!

Nevermind my previous post. I misread it as you wanted to see some DIY threads of the EK on EG conversion. Sorry.

I'm just saying something similar would look good. anyone? Am I really the only one who thinks the JDM ones look like cheap garbage?

Something like that would be interesting but the fogs would still have to be relatively small. Bumper modifications..

I saw a dude on here once with foglights that fit perfectly in the 92-95 Civic bumper. I asked but he was a douche and didn't wanna tell because he said he didn't want people to copy him. I swear they fit perfectly in there and looked like they belonged more than the actual Honda fogs. Anybody know which fogs they were?

And just to throw my 2 cents in, those Subaru fogs would be way too big.

Yeah I think it would look cool to have a foglight which is relatively big, just big enough to fill the vent. Not saying I wanna retrofit Subi fogs, but I want to have a similar look. I might just search around and try to fab something up.

I think these OEM Style Fog lights killed it, but I have seen 00 US Integra Fog Lights on it and they look good IMO....
