I'm 99% positive there's no such thing as HID fog lights.

HID refers to High Intensity Discharge lights and are made to be put in your headlights to replace your stock headlight bulbs. There's no way you could get them into fog lights.

If you want to buy a pair of fog lights for your car then here's some that are made for a 92-95 EG...

I already have them........ I just want to replace them because one went out. And they came in the car when I got it so I don't know what size they are.

But thanks anyway.

Still don't know what size they are.

You may already have them but I'm telling you that there's no such thing as HID fog lights. The heat made from the HID's would melt the plastic surrounding the fog lights and ruin them.

If they are stock OEM ones then they only come in one size, the size of the ones I posted a link to. The link I posted is what stock OEM EG fog lights look like.

Do yours look like this or do they look different then them?



If they look like those then you should look around on PasswordJDM's site and see if they have a replace bulb (I assume that's what you mean by "I just want to replace them because one went out"). If you want to replace both of them then buy the set I linked you to.

You'd also be better off at actually asking a better question. What you're asking doesn't make much sense at all really. What do you mean by wanting to know what size they are? That doesn't matter, you just need to get fog light bulbs for an EG Civic if your bulb is blown (your local auto parts store should have them).

You should also be more specific on exactly what's wrong with your fogs instead of saying conflicting things like "Wanna get hid foglights. Need to know what to get", "I just want to replace them because one went out", and "Still don't know what size they are." None of those are specific and are really actual questions so I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, which makes it harder to help you figure out what you need to do to fix the problem.

If you want HID fogs you would need to retrofit projectors into the foglight. It has been done many times, I think some people use Lexus projectors I've read a write up on them. I cannot remember if the can accept ds2 bulbs or not. Regardless it's been done and it is possible.

PW fogs are high price and low quality, I would recomend finding a different place to buy them.

Also if you want HIDs it's not just simply a light bulb. You would need bulbs ballasts and wiring harness.

I'd never heard of that before so I just thought the OP was mixing up headlights and fog lights.

That just seems like a real pain in the *** to do and like it would cause a big headache when your bulbs burnt out.

Yeah I already knew that and assumed the OP did as well. He was talking about bulbs and stuff so I was basically just trying to figure out what he was even asking.

Yea I have thought about the retrofit for the fogs, but the retrofit on my headlights put out more than enough light. I would just recommend doing a headlight retro an keeping the fogs as is.

See for yourself:




The car came with them. And one is out.

I'm gonna buy a new kit from:
http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/Ap...Raptor-HID-Kit

But they ask for a "Bulb Type"

Which is my inquiry to you now.

I don't really need a new kit. Just new ballasts. I'm 95% sure the bulbs are fine. It's just that these kits are really cheap. So, if I order the H1 kit, will it be ok.

Well... The answer to my question is: H1. It's an H1 bulb.

That's it. That's all I needed.

But thanks for trying.

I ordered an H1 kit from DDMTuning.com. Their kits work well, are cheap, and come with a lifetime warranty

Im 99.9% sure they are H3 bulbs. I dont know why so many people are making a fuss about em. My friend had some in his foglights for the longest of time and never had a problem with melting of plastics, or anything.

Stock fogs use H3 bulbs. HID are no where near as hot as halogen. 35w<55w.
