Re: fog lights
You will need the 96-98 foglight kit. Assuming you have a 98 front end.. The 96-98 foglights are square, and the 99-00 have a plastic cover around them and have a round light in the middle.

Re: fog lights
I would HIGHLY recommend getting the oem honda switch and under-dash wiring if you don't have it already. A $30-40 investment that was well worth it to me.

Re: fog lights
Iam not sure of the part number but the aftermarket wiring has often shorted out, caught on fire, or just quit working, and the aftermarket switch does not fit exactly right and often only last a few months before it burns out anyways causing you to replace it. The OEM under-dash harness is completely plug and play and it is much simpler then the aftermarket harness and does not have hardly any problems. Now honestly I have the aftermarket wiring and switch and have not had any problems at this time but I am soon upgrading to the OEM equipment.

FYI, the '96-'98 foglights come in round and square (and both in yellow or clear).
The '99-'00s are round (some have the same assembly as the '96-'98 rounds iirc) but have a bezel that goes around them. OE bezels are a charcoal color. Aftermarket are often black.

So wiring harness and the switch only cost 40bucks together?
