I sell the foglight kits for about $225 I believe... installation is straight-forward.

I'd get the oe peices over aftermarket because the honda ones mount MUCH cleaner in the bumper and the quality of harnesses, relays, switch, etc are better.

OEM

I heard they also were not as durable and not as good quality.

For $225 they are excellent quality and the instructions are priceless. They are so detailed, a monkey could install them.

I got my car in february with the fogs, like 3 weeks after I bought the car a rock went through one of the lights. Had it replaced and like 4 months later the other lens was cracked from another rock. They are nice to have but they can be a pain in the *** when they keep braking like that.

So if I were you, I would look to get them cheaper on line if you can.

Nope, All of the aftermarket kits I've seen have ugly shrouds and are made from cheap materials ...

Tre has the best pricing for all of this. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1819396

Beats all the pricing I have seen everywhere.

I saw them last week on ebay for $180 plus shipping. I knew I should have gotten them then. Right now they are posted on ebay for $222 or buy it now for $226 (plus about $15 shipping). Dealer's feedback is 99.9% positive and over 5000+. Thats still better than hondapartssuperstore or hondapartsdeals, but not sure about _TRE's shipping policy.

I dont think you can purchase just the "outer housing" ...

I'll ship anywhere within the continental US ... Shipping for fogs is ~$8 fully insured via FedEx

the oem fogs are clear, but you can get a yellow film to go over the lens to give it the "yellow look"

before he buys the kit he should look at the install instructions... id much rather pay the money and have someone else do it, i barely have time to wash my car, let alone take it apart.

i'd buy them somewhere else and put them in yourself. That's what I'm doing as soon as Christmas comes around.
