Is it legal to make my front bumper lights on the CRX into fog lights? I'm not asking if it would look nice or anything of that nature, I want to know is it legal??? Basically, do you have to have turn signals on the front of the car?

Thanks,
Jake

 

honda wouldnt have put them on if they didnt need to, im pretty sure you will need them, especially when someone pulls out in front of you because they couldnt tell you were turning

 

good point. i'll talk to some cops or something around here. i think it might look a little cooler than adding fogs.

 

dont the corners blink too, at least i thougt they did in hatches. if the corners blink i dont see why it wouldnt be illegal

they do blink bu they are on the side of the vehicle not the front how would anyone in front of you know you are turning? and the sidemarkers are only 5watts hard to see , the front are 21watts, just mount the fogs in the location of where the stock fog lights went

good point

 

Search on here, someone did a write up a while ago about doing this, and the lights still blinked normally.

 

whats a good fog light to get to fit the bumper on a 89 crx hf bumper? i want something to fill the slots on there.

 

thats what the bumper looks like, i want something to fit at least the lower "holes" underneith the blinkers.

 

im pretty sure first gen prelude fogs fill the holes decently, seach, it been covered pretty well

 

my bumper lights are currently not working due to some issues, but trust me you want them to work, like said before people in front of you dont know your turning and it almost causes me all kinds of problems, i finally fixed them today, too many close calls

oh rly? Thats odd, i bought the car this way. I thought everything was stock.

 

eazyest way would be get a Dual fillament bulb the 1157, and a socke t for it, 92-00 corner light probably would work, might take a lil dremeling to make it fit in the stock crx bumper light, simply wire the ground to the stock ground, and the turn signal to the stock turn signal so it blinks normaly, then take the 2nd filament lead and run it off 12v when the key is on or whatever, it will light up all the time then blink when the signals on just like a EG or EK corner light

sure is a 90-91 bumper... blinkers are longer, 88-89 are shorter and mostly come in amber

 

is there anything else you can see from the outside that would detirmine if its a 90-91

 

If the tails are surrounded by black then thats a 90-91 sign too.
Yes its illegal in Utah, anyway, to remove or change front signals.
Second gen talon and eclipse fogs work great to fill the holes right, looks good imho.

good lookin REX

 

Measure the width of that molding strip on your front bumper (yours has been painted). Next measure the width of the molding strips on the doors. If the bumper molding is THINNER than the doors, then the previous owner installed a 90-91 bumper on a 88-89 chassis. That's not 100% though since it's possible to swap the door moldings too.

Another good sign is the shape of your gauge cluster. The 88-89 has a trapezoid shaped cluster & cover with the hazard switch on top of the steering column. The 90-91 has a round cluster & cover with the hazard switch on the cluster cover. Don't be fooled though. The only absolute way to tell the exact year of your car is by the vin code. It's best to go off the vin code on your firewall since it's stamped in (dashboards can be swapped out too).

which years and what car, the eclipse and talon had different lights, and there are 2gA and 2gB for both the eclipse and talon

 

i must have a swapped bumper because of the hazard switch and no black line around tailinghts. i'll check the vin tomorrow

 

as long as you have your corner lights blinking your good. someone did a thread with autozone fogs that look pretty much like oem fogs you should look it up.
