I was just at the dealer for some maintenance on my car. They installed the fog lights, and I think they messed up. The first problem was that the dealer took 6.5 hours to install them. Next the lenses seem loose, the interior switch is upside down, and there seems to be a rattling noise from time to time. The dealer told me that there might be a recall on the car for the oxygen sensor, and something else with the engine. Anyway my questions are...
1. Is there an ongoing problem with the foglights? If so, what are the issues?

2. Anybody hear of the recall, either on the foglights, oxygen sensor, etc.?


If I'm missing something let me know. The last thing I want right now is a car the doesn't work.

 

I haven't heard anything, but my foglights do mount up kinda lose, but I think it's the hack job they do the bumper to put them on. Hey let me know if you hear anything else and I'll do the same for you.

They call it a rice "ROCKET" for a reason.

 

i was at the dealership yesterday and a salesman told me the foglight install takes about 7 hours cuz they have to pull the dashboard... (why the hell would they have to do that?) and the parts guy seemed to think he was off his rocker...(salesman told me this in front of the parts guy) but he said it does take some time... he also claimed the fogs were a $700 option .... i hope that's not true, i want an RSX S with fogs, dammit...

 

salesmen dont know **** about cars.. its pathetic.. most of the time they can even tell you more than whats on the sales sticker...

 

Funny, Acura's website says fog lights cost $457.50 installed. Can someone say dealer markup.

 

As soon as Acura gets off it's *** and finishes the PCM upgrade for the O2 sensor problems we're having, there will probably be a recall... The nice thing about the RSX is that is has a re-programmable ECU.... I get paid three hours labor to install foglights.. that's between 150-240 dollars, depending on which rate they use... You don't have to take the dash out, you need to remove the center console, and both panels under the dash on the driver's side.. If you want to flip your switch over, just take off those two underdash panels, and you should be able to just reach up front behind and pop the switch out, rotate it, and put it back in... none the the foglights I've installed have had a problem with rattling...
