i got a 93 del sol, i was wondering if there are any fog lights that would fit in the lower part of the bumper... i drive in the country side and need more light to make it safer to drive.... do the eg or ek one's fit? or any aftermarket square type lights, i dont like the round circle ones.

the eg's would fit great...ek's would fit too but need some modifty to make it fit perfect

doesnt the Si come with fogs?

Bob Dole!

all 93-95 del sols came with the aux lights. the op wants fog lights that are located lower on the bumper. I believe these fog lights for the del sol are rather rare and expensive. you could try 96-98 civic fog lights as they are much easier to find. I however have no idea how well they will fit.

what 96-98 fog lights? I dont have any fogs on my EX? the cars that came with fogs were 99-00 in my series. unless there is some special option to get fogs lol.

Bob Dole!

Those are what I'm talking about. I'm not sure if they were a option or not. I know you can get them from places like jhpusa and weksos.

Wouldn't mind those in clear for my Del Sol...

They're optional. That means most Civics didn't come with them. Your car has the engine bay harness already though.

Most cars do not come with foglights even if they are available parts.

....or you can get them (DEPO) from eBay for about half the price

The DEPO foglights are crap. I've had the DEPO, Esuse and OEM ones.

The DEPO aren't worth the time it takes to order them. They're junk. They leak and have electrical (generally grounding) issues.

Esuse is so similar to OEM that the parts can be used as replacement parts on the OEM ones.

I only replaced the Esuse ones with OEM ones when I found some for the right price and the passenger Esuse one cracked (looked like a big rock it it).

I've never heard of anyone using the square lights on a del Sol though. Only the round.

Jimster480

yea u can. a few of my friends have those. They chagned them into HID fogs. They look sick with some 8K blues in them.

96-98 civic fogs fit del sols?

Jimster480

those civics dont come with fogs. Just get some DEPO ones.

OEM > Esuse > DEPO = Poo

trustdestruction

i've read about it in theory but never seen it. they will only fit in the 96-97 del sol bumpers, if it's true


for 93-95 you might be able to use 92-95 coupe/hatch foglights. i've never seen any of this actually done but it might fit.

Jimster480

um my friend has DEPO lights and they are fine

NOFX

For how long?

These problems are well documented. Lots of people have had problems with '96-'98 Civic DEPO foglights.

I've installed DEPO foglights before, they are without a doubt one of the cheapest looking things i've ever had the displeasure of working with. Sure they're cheap, but the fact is you can waste a lot of money buying cheap. It makes far more sense to me to buy high quality parts once then to buy cheap parts numerous times.

Jimster480

hes had them for like 4-5 months already i think. maybe even longer. he has DEPO headlights, his fog lights look the same as those DEPO ones u put up there but he fabricated them into HID fogs anyway.

NVturbo

....that's why it would be advisable not to even bother buying any sort of foglights unless you really, really need them for visibility purposes.

NOFX

Yeah, like I said, I've had them all.

The DEPO lights look basically the same... from the front. Not from the rear and not mechanically.

I had mine for a few years. They were total crap and I regretted the purchase soon after, but when I purchased them I'd never seen the OE ones for sale yet.

well i finally put some ek fogs on the car... took some time but i think it turned out great.
...had to relocate the stock horn because it was in the way... other than that everything else was just cut and try to fit.

before...


cut the bumper...


mount the bracket...


after...


and yes, my bumper is cracked... lol. thats actually why i wanted to try to see if the fogs fit because im goin to buy a new bumper anyways.

NOFX

OMG... I thought you were going to put in the ROUND '96-'98 Civic ones, which are basically the same as the del Sol ones (different mounting brackets than would come with the del Sol kit though).

They look like they sag.

Jimster480

looks nice but kinda weird. Arent those other little lights next to the head lights fogs?
