Default Fog Lights....

I am considering buying foglights for my Em1. Are all foglights the same quality? I am considering thinking about buying them from Password JDM or from Weaksauce. There are also from ebay that are legit like OEM genuine Honda fog lights or another that is DEPO JDM fog lights. Got any suggestions on how I would go about this? Thanks

PasswordJDM ones are pretty good. For the money and what you get, you'll save a lot of money over OEM.

I picked up some depo fog-lights from weksos and I've been pleased with them. The yellow lights look sick, and I think the light output is decent. to weksos for quick shipping and a decent price. I think passwordJDM is a little over priced unless they include better light bulbs with the kit.

The only problem with the fog-lights for an EM1 - the plastic fog-light covers are easy to rip off. Just ask me. They were taken off my car after only parking it for 30 minutes. to theives.

Some crazy stories! We sell the DEPO kits because all the switches, housings, and everything are close to OEM. Plus they have a pretty decent warranty. On the yellow foglights for the EM1s and EG6s we stick with DEPO (not the cheap white box versions) due to the quality of the harness and switch.

PM me for more details if you wish!

Thanks!

get the oem from handa accessories. it's pretty much same price as the replicas. Also, get the http://www.lamin-x.com yellow film protection if you want to make them yellow. Not only does it tint the color but it will protect the lenses from rocks and other road debris. Hate to spend $120+ on some brand new oem fogs just to have a rock fall off a dump truck and smash up 1 of your lenses.

i dont know if you were being sarcastic to make fun of me or serious haha, It took a little modification of the brackets to get them to secure properly in the bumper but in the end they turned out great. I am more than happy with the result.

depo are not that great for a 99-00 foglights. bought two sets and both have had a light yellow color on the right side. Left side was really bright. anyone have bulb type for them. im going to try and change the bulbs and see if that fixes them. thanks
