OEM Foglight Kit is excellent

Monty · 10-03-2006, 10:08 PM

I just had the foglight kit installed. I purchased it for about $247 off of ebay and had it installed by the dealer. It really improves the looks of the car and the design is pretty smart. Apparently there are reflective surfaces on the inner cowlings that will reflect more light to the side of the car. At night I can now see people/objects on sidewalks next to the car.

There is also a in-dash indicator that displays the on off status. Subtle but very slick.

Good upgrade.

am thinking fo doing the same thing, buying them off ebay and get them install at the dealership, how much they charge you? and how much where they charging you at the dealer for the foglights?

Labor is about 2.5 hours at $80 hour. Fortunately it took a little less. I had instructions to do it myself, but their 2.5 hours == my 8 hours and a precious Saturday.

I went out to get a couple of pics but they didn't turn out too well at night. I'll try to snap some tomorrow.

Just don't drive in a rocky pebbly area. Yours will chip...just like mine.

I love the fog lights on the Civic coupe. I hope they hurry up and start offering them for the 07 Si soon, I'd rather not go after market.

Get some Lamin-X on those badboys before you do chip them. It will not guarentee that they will not break but it will most def help. I got yellow but they do make clean. Trust me its a wise investment.

Looks good, I think I might get them for my car soon. Thanks for posting the pics...
