your best bet is to be patient. they will show up in all the places you looked. the only reason why they are so hard to find is because they are out of production. just keep searching and they will pop up. i know form experience as i now have a set of my own that took me a while to track down. i got both the fog light and switch from ebay.

Nope 88-91 Civic/CRX/Wagon ones, though Im sure lude ones would work for me also, but I haven't found any either "always broken"

I actually found the fogs on a Civic wagon today, which seemed odd to me, never seen them on a wagon to bad the one was missing totally

the prelude ones have the same dimensions as the oem clean and jdm yellow lights. only real difference would be that the prelude lights bracket is a bit wider as opposed to the oem crx/civic lights. i will post pics of the two side to side in a few.

Yeah, OEM fogs are impossible to find, although I think heeltoeauto.com had a few set left for $400 or so.

depends what your using. the civic and crx brackets are different. the lights from a 90-91 lude i believe are the ones that work.
