Default Use Ek9 Rear Fog light for 5th Gen Accords? PIC

Anyone have a rear Fog light on their 5th Gen Accords?, i'm pretty sure it's possible as one member from gen5alive pointed out, we have the right and left slot behind the rear bumper to install these lights....
the foglights can be found here:

NICE
You have to cut the reinforcement bar? I though you only had to cut the bumper. There is a slot for the fog once you take off the bumper right? Thanks for the info!

Nice... Looks easy enough.

My friend (HT member "savclaude") did that on his car not too long ago and, it looks nice.

Now, as far as some of the rear fogs being model specific, i wouldn't count on that, since there other ligths that interchange between different models and years, from accords to TL's... del sol's to civics....
But it's all good anyway...!

yea i agree, because i've seen another member even cut into the reinforcement bar in order to position the rear fog closer to the middle..... i'm debating whether i should put just the left or both fogs on...i have the left and the right side....what do you guys think?

Man, that looks tight. I had a question on the first picture at the top of the tread from Japan(I am assuming) there rear fog lights are on the right (if you are standing behind the car and looking it). What made you decide to put your first fog light on the left? Did you take pictures of the wiring set up and switch install? If so, could we see pics.

It's actually from Thailand, and the side you install the fog light depends on the driver side....since theirs is on the right, the fog is on the right, ours is on the left, so we have it on the left

Where i come from, fog lights are always on the left or center. I believe for most countries, the driver's side is the side to install the light.
Right hand drive = right side of bumper, or both.
left hand drive = left side of the bumper, or both sides.

humm... I think if I had a car with that, I would prefer the cleaner non-fog look. It looks awkward like one eye. What do you guys like about them? just being different?

JDM madness yO
And it can actually save your life in foggy conditions too since the rear fog is brighter than the brake lights.
