Default 99-00 Civic Fog Light Question

Supz I had a question on the oem 99-00 civic fog lights I tried searching and looking around is there an easier way to cut out the holes for the fog lights without having to use a holesaw, I do have a dremel tool. Would I just outline around the fog light trims and cut it out with the dremel?

I used a dremel for parts, but found it easier to cut with a sharp exacto knife

your gonna have have to take off your front bumper to do this. once you take it off look really close to where the foglights are gonna go and you will see an outline that needs to be cut. a dremel works great. it took me 5min to cut it out on my old car.

So wat your saying is once I take off my bumper and look behind it there should be an outline already there, so I just need to cut that outline out that already there?

sweet thanks, but also wondering how come in the install papers they gave me why not just say look for the outline and cut out. Instead of all that other stuff they put in there?

They say to use the hole saw to get an exact circle with a smooth shape, you don't need to. Just trace around that hole with a dremel tool being careful not to go out of the lines, i was never skilled at coloring in a coloring book lol.

I used a dremel to cut the holes out and it came out just as good as using a hole saw

Make sure you dont cut any of the threads for the fog light brackets in the
back of the bumper. You'll see them when you pull it off.
