while searching around looking at the JDM conversions i've fallen in love with the yellow-ish jdm fog lights and think they'd look pretty nice on my flat black beater.

the thing is... this is my beater. i can't justify spending $100+ on a set of lights when they aren't going to get me any better gas mileage or reliability....

but... me being a ricer at heart, i want this look. i noticed on the older 3 series bimmers they have hella (i think hella) fog lights that might work... just need to pain the lense yellow and get yellow bulbs... i'd like that to be a last resort though.

does anyone make replica jdm fog lights for the crx?

can anyone think of any other vehicles that come with yellow fog lights from the factory? junkyards should be prices pretty reasonable for a couple lights i'd think.

how about a universal light that is pretty close to the jdm style (dimensions, color, glass lense, etc)?

any help would be appreciated. i don't want to paint "clear" lights yellow/amber because i know it'll just fade or chip off eventually....

thanks in advance

bueler?

bueler?

 

should have bought my Stanleys when I tried to sell em' to you....tight-***

 

stop reminding me....

i know i should have... i was broke though....

and i still am.... but i want some jDm bLiNg y0!

my neighbor's black is300 looks hot with the yellow fogs and after seeing it day after day and then seeing all the jdm front ends with them i figured, what the hell.... might as well jump on the bandwagon like everyone else.

check these out though...

THAT's more like my budget.... just trying to get ideas.....

 

These are mine, i got them from autozone and they were less then 30 bucks, the light is def useful at night along w/ my lowbeams and i wired them to a stock Si foglight switch, def worth 30 bucks .

 

i had never really paid attention to it before but my bumper....



has no "holes" beneath the blinkers in the bumper like yours does.... i'm going to have to install these in the "mouth" of the bumper.... that sucks... but i think it'll still look nice and i'm down with anything that will make night driving any easier....

if you take the bumper cover off, you'll find templates marked on the back for the foglight cutouts.

edit: at least my car has them

 

hummm.... so if the car didn't come from the factory/dealer with foglights the bumper is just like mine?

so basically.... in your bumper... you just have two holes cut in the cover.... no fancy insert or anything... just a hole?

 

quit being a nancy boy and cut that crap!

 

this car seems to have come with holes there.....


maybe i need to be looking for a bumper cover? naaaah... i'm too cheap....


could just put those amber $16 lights there....

bump b/c i'm wondering if anyone can comment about the difference in bumpers before i make another thread...

 

Just cut the holes out, I did it and ummm, yeah. Just do it, use a dermel or something along those lines and it'll look fine.

 

sounds like a plan....

only problem is getting the bumper cover off to see those lines...

i had to grind off the one screw i tried to take off b/c it was so old and rusted... it was VERy soft metal....

Will this work with a hatchy? Does anybody know if they have the lines ?

theres enough back there to line up the cuts on both sides, i wouldnt say theres a "template", but theres enough there to make it look good.

we did a 91 hatch bumper cover replacements on my bros 89 std. no fogs, but when it was off we noticed lots of ridges.

 

good info, I will be taking mine off this weekend, I have had the driving lights for awhile but did not know the lines were on the back!!!!!!!!!
