Default Installing foglights?

I was wondering if there is a write-up or DIY on installing JDM foglights on the JDM Sir front bumper? Does anybody know exactly what to do? Wiring? If so, post pics. Searched already and couldn't find anything. I am planning to buy some, but don't really know how to do it. Anything would help, thanks.

Square foglights:



Round foglights:

The square fogs in the picture have the brackets for mounting still attached. If u take off your front bumper and look and try to fit them, you should clearly see where and how they bolt up. Just go ahead and look for yourself....its very easy.

For the round fogs, those actually attach to the bumper support on the JDM front bumper. So basically, if u have the round fogs mounted properly, and u take off your JDM bumper, the fogs will come with it. Unlike the round ones, the square fogs will stay on the car when u remove the bumper.

Your bumper will also need to have the appropriate cut outs.

I heard there are lines or certain cut outs on the back of the front bumper. Is that true? All u have to do is cut them out? Is it exact fit for the foglights?

i agree with this 100%

only thing is on the round lights, the fogs themselves dont actually mount the the bumper support, they have a bracket that runs the length of the bumper.. it mounts directly to the support, and the brackets on the fogs mount to that. if they arrive like they are pictured from PWJDM, the round ones wont have anything to mount to, and you will be screwed.

in my 90 Si, i also had to remove the lower airbox resonator (factory junk i wasnt using anyway) on the passenger side, and the washer bottle on the driver side. for some reason, the fogs werent even CLOSE to fitting with those two things in the way.

Ok ok so the round fog mounting configuration is incorporated into the bumper support, same difference right, lol. Also, with the round ones, you will need to get the rubber shroud/seal or else it just looks stupid. Password should be able to get u those too.

Thanks for all the help and advice, appreciate it. Does anybody have pics of how to wire up the foglights? And so PWJDM didn't have the rubber seals/covers in?
