Default Fitting Fog Lights W/ This Intercooler

<U>EDIT: The Final Verdict: http://hondamarketplace.com/zerothread?id=1487371</U>

I want to know if 99-00 OEM Fog Lights will fit with this intercooler. Its dimesions are 28 x 6 x 3.



I have searched and read of successful stories of people getting their fogs and IC's to fit together, but it seems as if all the intercoolers in these success stories have their end tanks outlets on the top/bottom. Either that or the pic links are dead and I don't know what IC they are talking about. With mine being dead center I don't have the option of flipping it to fit. My intercooler does have brackets that make it sit flush against the radiator support and not right below the bumper support.

I have also read stories of people hacking up their bumpers only to realize that their fogs don't fit I don't wanna be one of them!

You're going to find a hard time finding an exact answer.
But when you hear these stories of people making them fit, usually it is due to them cutting the lower fog lamp bracket. I believe the lamps are on there from 3 or 4 brackets, there is an L bracket at the very bottom that most people cut to make FMICs fit. And, no, it does not affect the lamps at all.

Go to http://www.turbod16.com - there are a couple of threads where people are showing pics of how their piping is routed so that the FMIC will fit with fogs - just do a search and I'm sure you'll find it easily. I'm thinking they're all using 2.5" or smaller piping.

You have to cut the bottom bracket, i found that 2.5 pipping replaces the bracket very well.
