Default JDM eg foglights?

Are these just the ones that go on the bumper holes below the headlights like this?


Also, are these the same as the ones that come optional on usdm cars?

I used a hobby knife which took a bloody long time not to mention the pain inflicted upon myself! Dremel would be the way to go.

my car is a jap import and it came factory fitted with clear lenses, just like in the first picture.. honda cut the bumper to fit them as well... a hacksaw would work well, drill a hole to post the blade through and get chopin'..

bought these aftermarket ones (not sure of the brand) which came with ion lenses.
When lit, they have emit a yellow light. I was not really impressed w/ the performance however. IMO, they're far from PIAA quality

i don't get why you guys are obsessed with yellow fog lights, my factory ones don't even do that much anyway, they just light up the very front of the car...doesn't really help when you're goin quick, just looks nice..
