Default Rear fog light question

I'm trying to get a rear fog light but icbmotorsport is sold out of the left side so would it matter if I got one for the right and put it on the left?

as long as you can see anything if you use it? It be dumb to put it on the right side and your body is on the left side lol I think it needs to be wired inline with the reverse lights or wired in as a separate circuit with a relay, because it only lights up when you back up. if it was on all the time it be cool too !

...is there a difference between the right side and left side one at all as far as shape or appearance? As mentioned above it'd be going on the drivers side so I don't really see what's the difference?

^ then just flip it around I imagine. I see what you're saying about the angles...but just rotate it 180...and put it in.

What the crap. Have you read this? https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/%5Bdiy%5D-honda-civic-92-95-oem-rear-fog-lamp-retrofit-install-guide-2481875/

Even if you've got a 6th Gen the concept is the same - rear fog is integrated. Not a separate piece (4th gen Civic, or 94-01 Integra)

He's talking about the one that goes in the bumper.

Except that bumper location is not the OEM location for the rear fog on 5th and 6th Gens. Possibly OP does not know this.

Hmm...I never knew if it was an OEM location or not I guess I never bothered to look into it...where did this whole in the bumper situation come from? Is it like an OEM option?

No, never. People do it because they think ICB is telling them the truth and they jump on the bandwagon (sorry if this is you), but really they are misinformed or confused. Well, they could be doing it because they like it or want it there instead of where it *should be*, in which case I question their taste.

Lol. I thought about it for a second just as an option a couple months ago to make backing up brighter but then the thought of cutting a hole in my bumper...didn't wanna do it.
