I would suggest painting the fog light housing black to match the bumper. It looks weird grey on black bumper imo. Besides that, they are nice.

Hey man, don't decide from one person's opinion. Go by your opinion. If you like it, do it. If someone doesn't oh well, it's your car, not theirs.

In other words, yea, it looks good in black.

Ummmmmm, thanks for asking if you can use the pic from my thread.

You could have atleast said I gotthis from crx_si-r's build thread not "some guy" didn't you learn anything from high school, about crediting your sources.


To answer your question, it can be done after all I did it it. And I also took them off because there is too much of a gap. And I didn't paint them black, I photoshopped it to see what it would look like. And based in your signature I'm going to say you have a HB civic. These will not fit your bumper be aide your bumper is more squarish than my crx bumper which is more rounded do to the fog light inserts. I would recommend that you use EG 4dr dog lights that go in the small square at theebd of the bumper grills.

I think they look awkward, although they look a little better with the housings painted black.

yeah i cant decide though, trying to see if it someone will agree that its ok to put that or not. Im planning putting the ek fog light too just to experiment, since i cant find any prelude foggy in my area looking forward to use a different one.

these lights will not work on a civic bumper because of their shape. unless you plan on actually cutting out a section from your bumper and molding on a piece from a crx bumper, even then it wont sit right. your best bet would be to start with a new clean bumper and add the fog lights into the grill like the 4DR EG's have them.

thats a CRX bumper not an EF so theres no holes to install them
to install JDM EF9 fogs or USDM EF sedan/hatch optional fogs OR prelude fogs you need to cut a hole in the actual bumper under the bumper side markers (bumper cutouts behind the bumper if its a OEM honda bumper or decent aftermarket bumper) as far as the mounting and brackets youre on your own you can drill holes in the bumper support...
