95 accord sedan. i have a set of 95 oem knockoffs fog lights with everything (switch, harness, wires, instruction) can't seem to find anyone to install this for me. at first i went to my regular mechanic and he would'nt do it, then i went to aftermarket performance shop and he said he doesn't have experience with taking out headunits. now i am stuck with this and trying to find someone to install this for me. Will the dealership install this for me even though it's a knockoff that i got from ebay? how much would they charge given the necessary work? where else could i turn to. my mechanical experience is limited to oil change, washing/waxing car, filling washer fluid and filling fuel when empty. thanx

I put that up there awhile ago.

tell me how it goes for you.

 

i already have the instructions, i want someone to put it in for me and no one is really willing to do it. thanx anyway

 

The dealership might do it...might try that or a local performance shop.

Be careful of shady shops though!

 

It really isn't very hard. You don't even have to take the bumper off to do it. It took me all of 45 minutes to install the lights and run the wiring. Also, there is no need to remove the headunits (headlights) to install the fog lights.

 

Just so ya'll know, i called my local honda dealer, and install was upwords of $280......

 

Wow, talk about a ripoff.

 

sell them and spend the money for the install on something for performance.

 

Uh, the fog lights are useful and functional. They can help greatly with night vision. There is no need to sell them and buy something for performance. How much peformance are you really going to get for $100 worth of fog lights. Not much. Not to mention it will add some value to the vehicle, while not much it is still something. The same can't be said for performance parts.

fog lights help..trust me... my inline relay blew out one time and it was a gone... i went crazy until i fixed them.. once you get fog lights you cant go back. the ones i get set up for me ,helps me to see the sides of my turns better at night, and there great driving trew forest at night and fog... for safety reasons.. people to see you better, and when driving at night, Turn your head lights off and drive with fog lights only and the parking lights(only in thick fog)


If you lived in houston area i would do it for you, for cheap

 

I was thinking about getting a set off ebay.

Would i have to change my front bumper cover to install them ?
Or will thay install on any 4th gen bumper ?

 

*5th gen

no, 94-95 and 96-97 are slightly differenct and thus, the fogs arent interchangeable

 

So would i be able to install the fog lights on my 95 lx ??

If you get fog lights for a 94 or 95 accord, yes.

To clarify, 94-97 are 5th gen.

 

These are advertised for a 94-95


these are advertised for a 96-97


What is the difference ???

 

look at the light housings....see how the design is different where they bolt up???

 

The mounting points on the bumper is what's different. As a result the housings had to be changed for the 96-97 models.

 

These are advertised for 94-97. Does this mean they will work for all 5th gens. ???

 

look like 96-97..... THE BUMPER CHANGED IN 96...therefore, there no universal OEM style fog light for 5th gens, the have different mounting points

 

Those look like they will fit the 96-97 as the are slightly different than mine for my 94. That is unless they updated the design of course.

 

So then i need these for ny 95 accord correct ?

 

Correct.

 

on 94-95, the four places they bolt up are staggered off from each other. they sit at 4 completely different heights.

on 96-97, the four bolts are lined up flat, meaning if you sent them on a flat surface, all 4 bolts touch at the same time.

and I know those two aren't interchangable with each other, I learned that the hard way

EDIT: typo, wrote "are" instead of "aren't".
