Default Are the JDM fogs worth $300? Looking for opinions and pics. (5G)

Like the topic says. I love the fogs, but I have my reservations about spending $300 on them. I have hids, too, so I wonder how that will look.

I don't have them but a few of my buds do. They look really nice, and work pretty well, but I don't know about the $300 bucks..... personally I think I would rather put that money towards something else like a VAFC.............

IMO, they are sweet and one of my favorite mods
OEM domestic fogs are around $250 or so, might as well spend the extra $50 and get nicer foglights

Just my opinion,

Here's my contribution, and 2 cents. If you're all about the "show car look" get them. If you're all about performance get like preludeboy suggested an VAFC, however I'd let that mod be the very last, as you dyno tune towords your mods. But if you want to be annoying like my and shin the **** out of people and let them know you're on the road them get them.

Default So would I..

..I'm in So. Cal. too and have never had a wanton desire for fog lights; sure it can get patchy in the early mornings in the Fall/Winter, but $300 bucks is way to much to spend on something that, at the end of the day, isn't neccessary.

Default fog light

for $300 you can get JDM headlights. I don't know that JDM fog light cost you that much. Whoever is selling them at that price is making a "little money" off of you.

Hell, I got those AND a VAFC (not tuned yet though )IMO, They look like they belong on the car, as opposed to 90% of any other fog lights whether stock or aftermarket. Unfortunately they don't do **** in fog

The only thing fog lights are supposed to do is make YOU more visible to others in the fog, not make the road more visible for you.

They do look good, but I just wouldn't waste $300 for a set of fog lights....Use the money for a VAFC or something else that will help gain HP for your car

But I thought the yellow was supposed to help a bit. Isn't that the difference between fog lights and driving lights? I thought that would make sense since thats what they use on rally cars during foggy stages.

My point was that they ARE worth the $300 bucks because you get Honda quality and clean looks as opposed to some cheap set from Autozone, so which point did I miss?
