eBay Motors: 06-07 HONDA CIVIC SI COUPE 2DR FOG LIGHTS LAMPS CHROME (item 190215652910 end time Apr-20-08 19:36:08 PDT)

Any good? I need fogs...and I'm aiming for cheap...but not useless. Any opinions?

I'm going to say no.

I don't understand why people buy a brand new car and try to cheap out on the accessories. I'd rather get the OEM part and know the car is done right rather than buy cheap parts and realize I made a mistake down the road.

If you look around the site I think you will find many others that have ordered them. I would order a set but my coupe doesn't have a spot to install the switch included. So I would have to order the stalk and harness from honda in addition to buying these fogs. Too much money for a leased car.

I think the reason people buy these knockoffs are the price and the fact that most will never actually use them as fog lights anyways. Most people just have them on all the time with their headlights because they look cool. No sense spending $230 plus shipping for that.

Because they work just as well as OEMs and are just as fragile and it doesn't cost $200+.

Meh, I've got the money so I went with OEM. I'm not a fan of buying ANYTHING off of eBay.

OEM is over-rated... There are tons of threads of those cracking just as easy as any eBay ones.

Go for the cheaper ones and buy some lamin-x for them for extra protection. If they break, oh well... You still wouldn't be at much of a loss compared to getting OEM.

check out my link about this
finally done with my fogs
though i may have to remind you that ebay fogs are (like the jlanooo said) just for the looks, they dont help visions whatsoever like the sellers say they do.. also you might want to buy some waterproof tape to seal the fog lights before you put them in .. coz condensation happens.. esp during winter times.. wiring part are the same except for the one under your steering wheel column.. you can find a proper diy on this forum tat instructs you how to put on ebay fogs. good luck

Well said. I had OEM lights installed in my old car and they were as bad as my brother's eBay purchased lights. The problem I see with fog lights is that they crack easily, and they are not worth the $150.00 or $200.00 or whatever they are.

i bought mine from passwordjdm. worked fine, once he got the correct harness to me.

took about a month. kinda sucked.

they work fine now though, and it cost about 65$ vs 200+ from the dealership. Can i tell the difference between OEM and these? NO.
