Default FOG LIGHTS... please help!?!?!?

im looking into getting some fog lights and i wanna know which ones are the best to get. i heard some people saying that the factory ones are't worth the $350 do to the glass housing that easily breaks and isnt covered under warranty. They were saying to just get the cheap ones off ebay and have Honda put em in. So im basically wondering...
-which ones should i buy off ebay or what is your take on this?
-ID there any diff in the amount of light produced between Ebay product and OEM??
-HID fog lights??
-what is the best brand to get???
Anyone with personal experience would help

I have the K2 fogs. I just got them off ebay. They are simple to install yourself.

THe only thing with the K2 fogs are that they have some words on the lenses ("Esuse"), but people say you cant see it that well unless you are really close.

Also, the harnesses are almost exactly the same as OEM, except a purple and brown wire are missing. It doesn't seem to affect anything, as mine work fine.

They are made of glass, but you can just go to home depot and buy a sheet of lexan for $3 and lexan sealant for $4, and replace the glass with lexan.

the purple and brown wire are probably the wires for turning the fogs off while the highbeams are active.

As for the lexan mod, it is definately worth it for ANY fogs. Ive gone through many OEM lamps and finally got sick of it and lexan covered mine. Take that rocks...
