Looks good! I just did the same thing with HID offroad lights. I like the look of them on the bumper too...

I have seen some CRVs around that have either factory installed lights, or dealer installed, and they are just about in the same spot, I think they were a little closer together, but it was pretty close. Seeing them is the reason I put mine there...

And personally, your headliner looks sweet! ha ha

Thanks for the input guys. I wanted them to be in the oem-ish spots on the bumper. I think you're right on them needing to be closer together

i think it would look much better without...much. i dunno. just seems like too much going on. i like to keep things simple. less is more. but i've never liked seeing more than 2 pairs of lights up front. that's just me though.
goddammit i love that bumper though. looks excellent with the fogs in there. just beautiful.

I ran the ek fogs for a few years. Never liked how they sat in the bumper. I got these lights at northern tool for $12.99. I used some backing strap and some screws and made some simple brackets and I'm WAY happier with these

I like it, but i would use different fogs. Black with a grill, like the piaa rally ones maybe.

Not digging it....I'd get a nudge bar and rock them on that instead. Just my opinion.

I'll second the nudge bar idea, but then again, I'm a bit biased...



That said, I don't mind 'em atop the bumper, either. Looking good.

Yeah but I'm not feeling a nudge bar on a lowered V. It would be different if it was lifted
