A cheap fog light will scatter light and bother other drivers. It looks cool, look like rice, and maybe get pulled over by a LEO.

The reason why quality fog/driving lights cost so much is their construction. Like metal housing and glass lens. The lens also focus the light correctly to really light up the road. And quality wires that won't melt. That why lights like PIIA cost so much.

So it depends on you. Are you just looking for show? Or do you really NEED extra lighting to help you drive more safely?

lol. i dont think the foglights will bother other drivers. ahaha

ebay fogs are do come with metal housing and a plastic lense which is better than glass because it wll not break as easily when hit by rocks on the highway.

PIIA light bulbs are not that great.

i say get the ebay fogs. k2motors has good fogs.

 

yea I got the ebay version and I haven't thrown them on yet but I saw the ebay pair next to an OEM pair and the contruction was the same, they used the same metal components and even the relays were identical. THOUGH, the switch wasn't the same, but that i can get through honda anyway.

 

yeah, i was planning on getting the harness and switch from honda. but only paying 35 dollars for fogs and another 10-20 dollars for the honda wiring seems like a nice deal to me

 

I have also been thinking about getting these. Anyone with any experience with these?

 

nothin is wrong with these i jus got some im about to install them right now lol

paying for the name, and their research..... the cheap brands just copy other's products, limiting their research needs....
