Default foglights..

I want to buy my dad fog lights for his 2004 Civic for Christmas. The only problem is I am not too sure where to get them. Or if I should go with OEM or after market.

Right now I'm thinking of going OEM and getting them from ebay, does this sound good, or should I go another route?

ebay oem ones are a nightmare. i got them and many others did. get the real ones. handa has the real ones but they are 200 bucks. if you go with ebay ones, search for foglights under the search button, and i wish you the best of luck wiring them correctly.

if you got the cash, get OEM ones from a honda dealership
or http://www.handaaccesories.com
if you dont... you can get OEM style ones from ebay...
they tend to crack easier but if you wire them correctly they look pretty good.
I think for 04 u can get some nice amber colored ones too

i got some off ebay. from k2motor also. they are nice. but i think its easier to wire it on ur own. expletive using the wiring they give u. its so much easier just running two wires. hope that helped. but yea. k2motor is decent. but only if ur good with wiring.

if u wire it yourself all u have to do is run the positve wire to a switch in the car and as for the black wire just ground it to the radiator support. easy.

(i did the ones off k2motor.)

i got mine from ebay the yellow ones they look and work great ,i had the clear one first for like 2 year and no problems. they were really easy to wire but since i have the aero front lip it took a min to mount but it came out great.

I'm happy with my eBay ones. Just get different bulbs and you'll be good. You'll have to do your own wiring, becasue the harness that comes with it isn't any good. I just wired them to the parking lights and made a switch.

If you're willing to pay $300+ for some lights, get them from the dealer.
