Default Foglights Installed

So after about 3 hours of patience, I finally got em in and working. I know I could've done it faster, I just wanted to make sure I did things right, double checking things, etc. etc. Also had to run to Sears to buy a 7/16 drill bit since that was the closest I could get to 11mm (instructions called for 11mm drill bit).

So enough yappin, here are all the pics I've taken tonight. I'll take more tomorrow without any lights on so you can see how sexy they are. I really regret not taking pictures during the process. I mutilated my bumper and wanted memories on picture but oh well.

<FONT SIZE="5">** 1/15 NEW PICS **</FONT>





--------------------

Here are pics in order of when they were taken starting from the first pic I took:













Function wise, they help a good amount. DEFINITELY light up the ground more around the front of the car where the headlights can't get and also the sides of the road. And surprisingly, they even get up top above the car, especially on roads where there's trees swooping down from up top.

But how do I angle these things? When I'm looking from the side of the car on a flat level surface, the lights are facing downwards just a tad. I've passed plenty of cars and none have flashed at me so I guess they're good.

I love these things.

lol "that excuse"? Okay. I'd love to see anyone attempt to drive in feets of snow with terrible plowing service where even I get stuck with my stock height civic on winter tires. Because that's what my hometown is like when it snows.

I love people like you. Don't care about the conditions of circumstances of other people's lives. People like you just think you should do it anyways no matter what.

Don't post your car on HT if you don't want to hear comments that you don't agree with (like get a lip, lower it, etc). No matter what you say, people will tell you to do something different.

Before you drive too much with them, get some lamin-x clear or yellow vinyl. Those fog light lenses crack way too easily, and the only replacement is buying another full kit. The lamin-x prevents from rock chips and other harm (and should be under $10).

As for adjusting them.. take the grey bezels off. On the side of the fog light, furthest from the center of the car, there is a spring loaded screw. Use a screwdriver, turn it left to lower the light, right to raise it. See the Honda instructions for better details: http://handaaccessories.com/ci...s.pdf

And just by looking at your pictures, it looks like they're aimed pretty well already. They're supposed to point down a bit, otherwise they would just be doing the same thing as your headlights.

Star Wars - Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back. I believe the actual quote is "That is why you fail."

I remember when I got my fogs put in I felt like a won a small war Mostly because I'd never taken a saw to a body part before, and the plugs that are in the car were in the most ridiculously impossible places to reach! Buuut then I got to the last plug and it wasn't even there.

Hacking up your bumper and having everything fit

You'd be alright, trust me! I roll all year in Rochester pretty damn low with a lip...bad winters, horrible roads. You don't lose as much clearance as you'd think. Integras come pretty low to the ground, but I'm tucking my tires a bit and I still have a few inches with the OEM lip...which, btw, is durable as hell.

Thanks for the comments. I'm in the process of looking for an OEM SI front lip so it should be lookin good soon.

And forgot to add in the daytime pics I took the next day. Edited in!
