Am I doing it right? (97 fog light install)
Are these installed correctly? The fitment seems a bit off to me, maybe that is just how they all are? The brand is Esuse.
Thanks.

Fitment looks good, I'm not sure about the angle though. I know they're supposed to be pretty low, but yours looks like it's pointed a bit too low. How's it look when you're driving?
And what's with the one weird headlight? It looks kind of freaky, like seeing someone with a glazed over left eye.

That driver's side headlight on the other hand, does not. Buff that turd.</TD></TR></TABLE>
Thanks, polishing is on the to do list, but with it being the DD, its very low priority.

With it being a DD, it should be a priority since it diminishes light output.

Re: (99_hb_on_air)
The only way to get perfect fitment is to go with OEM but they look fine.
You should wetsand that headlight with 2k grit sandpaper and then buff it. Works every time.

Re: (Historyg)
Historyg... I understand you being a lazy *** and not reading the whole thread but at least read the first post... its kinda the main one! He states that the brand is Esuse not Depo which is not OEM.

DEPO are aftermarket.
Esuse are aftermarket (but better quality for '96-'98 at least).
They are both replicas of the OE square lights that were available overseas. The OEM USDM foglights for '96-'98 were clear round lights.

That's correct, I answered you incorrectly. I though you were referring to the hazing from a cosmetic POV, not light output. I noticed the diminished output now that I look at it.

Correct. And if I could, Id like to give these a huge in terms of quality, everything bolted up and all the wiring plugged in. Excellent quality. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by iluvmy2000civicex »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Thank you NOFX </TD></TR></TABLE>
Thanks.
I adjusted them a little bit tonight so that they shine right below where the headlights shine. I must say they do improve visibility greatly. Any tips on how high or low they ought to be aimed?
Thanks for the words of reassurance everyone.
