Default Let's talk fog lights

You guys with foglights can I see some pics and where you got them from. I want the round ones, but no idea what size and where to get them. I found a really nice set on ebay but they are $200 and I'm not looking to spend that much for a set of fogs.
Also if there is a how to install please point me in the proper direction. Thank you.

I'm not looking to spend an arm and a leg on some fog lights. I just like the round ones that most people on this site have and wanted to know if there are any cheaper ones out there that look similar.
Wiring is not an issue at all for me, i can do that in my sleep.

Well if I can. Mine is a 95 and I have that part of the bumper going across the center of it.

I'm pretty sure Pilot makes round lights similar to the 98+ OEM lights. Should be able to find them at any auto parts store for under $100.

I just have some Pilot amber projectors mounted to my front bumper beam. They don't really do much with my HID retrofit, though. I hardly even turn them on. I kinda like the way they look, though.

I didn't go with the OEM 98-01 fogs because IMHO they're just too big and "look at me", whereas mine are tiny projectors (to match the low beam projectors) that in many cases aren't that noticeable. If my bumper wasn't all cut out they would be even less noticeable I think.

Not to mention the small, very thick glass lens of the fog projector is much more durable than the thinner, larger lens of 98+ OE fogs, and so are less prone to breaking from road debris.

Holy crap I was thinking about doing the EXACT same thing, I was just searching for pics to see if anyone else has done this. Do you have any straight on pics?

Those were probably the old-school PIAA 1000 driving lights that everyone jocked back in the day (late 90's, around $250/set). Driving lights shoot out a long pencil-thin beam. They're kind of like high beams, but more focused, really only meant to be used on dark roads with no oncoming cars.

Fog lights, on the other hand, project a short, wide beam down low to the ground. On cars with normal halogen headlights, it will fill in the dark area directly in front of the car that doesn't get illuminated by the low beams.

Yeah these are for 94-97 but can work on 98+ with some modification. I just ordered some nice projector fogs from ebay last night cuz I was gettin sick of lookin around for OEM's.

If you have the 94-97 front end Si-Vtec fogs ftw.

For 98+ the OEM Raybrig look decent, but if you really wanna go all out UKDM Fog Lights ftmfw!!

(LRO255's UKDM Conversion)


Other-wise there are tons of replica's out there if your looking to do it on the cheap.
