Just FYI I bought supposedly OEM SIR Headlights for my Ek from password and the left side is perfect OEM fit/quality. The right side is another story. The right headlight wont align (bulb wont shine straight)/ fits like crap (has a 1/2 inch gap around the fender) / came in a different box then the right side headlight / and also had a different city light bulb socket. Just FYI!

Re: password jdm fogs? (CeeJay16)
I have password jdms fogs on my 97 civic. They have worked great for umm..almost a year. But i did have one problem with the wires in the plug on the harness that plug into the lights to be backwards so i kept blowing fuses until i figured this out.

Re: password jdm fogs? (CeeJay16)
light output from the 92-95 fogs aren't that great in the first place...
oem, depo, it doesn't matter...
if your getting them for looks... then any will do... go look on ebay...
if you want to run higher wattage bulbs... you might want to make a custom upgraded harness.
please search next time, there are hundreds of threads on foglights... and how they are all the same..
if you want more functional fog lights... do an hid conversion on them.
imo, retrofit your headlights with hid, you will never complain about your headlights again...

Re: password jdm fogs? (CeeJay16)
okay, so you have an ek...
imo the 99-00 fogs look better, cause i think they are integrated into the bumper better.
get a set of fogs from ebay, look for the cheapest ones...
they are all made in china or tiawan, and all come with the same wiring harness.
what i meant was that if you were getting fogs for a functional purpose... then a good set of ion yellow piaa bulbs will make your halogen fogs more functional.
an hid retro fit is the best of both worlds, function and form, not only do they look amazing when they are on, but they provide the best light output.
If you do plan on running some "hotter" bulbs, then "beefing" up the fog light wiring is a must.
to "beef" up the fog light wiring, your going to need 16-14ga wiring, an Water Resistant ATC automotive fuse holder, automotive relay, solder, soldering iron, heat shrink tubing, and a heat gun.
Read this: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1794938 to learn how to do correct wire connections
Read this: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1812043 to see how the fog lights are actually wired up.
the only section you have to beef up is the section in the engine bay.
Connect the power wire from the supplied harness to the coil of your new relay, then ground the relay's coil.
Then run a fused power line from the battery to the relay's N/O terminal; and run the power wires to the foglights to the relay's common terminal.
This little addition will help in preventing your "Depo" or "oem" wiring harness from melting from electrical stress.

H-T White Ops
I've had both DEPOs and Esuse lights on my car and the DEPOs were complete crap. The Esuse ligths on the other hand have been problem-free.
The issues I had with the DEPO lights included multiple loose grounds (one or the other light would constantly go out, hit it and it'd come back on usually), leaky glass (surrounded the edge of the lenses with silicone and it never helped - in fact they're been off my car for over a year and are still wet inside), and finally a screw snapped off in the housing. The screw that snapped off holds the clip on that holds the bulb in. So that was the death of those lights.
Though I have heard better things about the reliabilty and quality of DEPO '99-'00 foglights over the DEPO '96-'98 foglights.
The images of the aftermarket, OE replica lights on PWJDM I believe are all DEPO, but a member on ClubCivic.com says his are Esuse and he bought from PWJDM. So if you plan to buy from them I'd recommend calling and inquiring about the brand of the lghts first. VertexRacing.com also sells Esuse.

Re: password jdm fogs? (CeeJay16)
Since were on the topic of fog lights. I have the ebay eg fog lights on my hatch. I went to the junkyard this past weekend and grabbed some mazda millena fog lights. They have a projector type fog light in them. I was wondering if my lightout or possibly clearence of the light would be increased if I put that projector into my existing eg housing?
Hopefully someone has already done this............

well im guessing your looking for fogs for a 99-00 correct? if so get the oem's...they run for $140 and quality is alot better. I have the 99-00 depo fogs and i've had to rewire, buy new parts, and buy existing new parts just to make it work...spend the extra $40 bucks for oem's...trust me...
