What do you need help with? Cutting the bumper, or the wiring?

you can even get the instructions on the FAQ section if u searched for it. I had trouble doin the wiring sicne it was my first time but i gave up and just had someone wire it for me. i did the mounting instead tho. the cutting was easy and as well as the drilling. that step actually took like 15 minutes only.

ok so i took this pic of the diagram that came with the ebay fogs..the one i circled in red, where does that plug into? lol it look like all of it is suposed to be attatched but in the honda diagram it shows this:



from the fog harness its suposed to be pluged into the factory car harness i assume? but i didnt find any plugs available there besides the one on the passenger side that had blue tape around it.. ive searched on google and nothing to be found

this was not a bad DIY at all. it did take me a while to figure out all the wiring because i was new to wires and installing fogs. started at around 6 and finished all the wiring at 8 (kinda slow but i got everything to work) then need to cut bumper tm and bam...im DONE!

i just eye'd it from the DIY instructions and it came out fine. just make sure you have some good tools for cutting like a dremel.i just used random tools because i didnt have one so it took longer. after you get used to it, the other side is simple. and the wiring is easy once you decide how u want to wire it, either from left or right.
