Default '00 Accord fogs in '91 EE8 bumper

So, I got these for about $200 at the local Honda-dealer, and thought since the shape is pretty similar to the EE8 bumper, that they might fit with some slight bumper modification.

Put simple:

Will these


which is made for this


fit on this?

I think it will all depend on the depth of the light housing, and of course how you're planning to mount it. Post a collection of pics that shows the fog light in 360, so we can see how deep it'll sit in the hole

Nice and clean car




I'd appreciate if someone came up with some pics of that blue one beyondspecs_jamar mentions. Instead of sitting here waiting I will now go out and get drunk

It's definitely possible. There should be enough clearance behind the bumper for you to start hacking away to mount em lol. This is coming from a guy with a hatch, but from personal experience (custom mounting my fogs)...with enough creativity/money, anything is possible.

I'm thinking of making some kind of mold of the bumper to see how much cutting is needed before I start hacking away on the bumper itself.
But I'm not doing anything until the weather becomes a bit warmer

Do they come with some kind of bracket?

If not you'll have to fab something up to either bolt onto the bumper or the bumper support

Yes, they come with brackets, but I'm not sure if they'll work.

Yes, I have heated seats

Don't have any good pics of the seats, but they're gray with red stitching (not leather )

The pocket looks goofey...but I like the overall setup.

I say run them from behind.
Cut out the fake holes in the bumper. Ditch the resonator box, and mount them up against the hole.

That was the plan. But before I start cutting away I want to make a mold so I can see what exactly needs cutting.

I'm just hoping this won't be any trouble

So, I've made the mold for the "practice cutting", but somehow it came out bigger than the hole in the bumper. In other words, useless. At least I got to play with fiberglass for the first time

I've also been trying to figure out the wiring. Can't seem to get those I've marked with "?". My Paint skills are just amazing!



Remember this is the harness for the Accord. Does anyone know how I should hook it up in my EE ?
