Haha yeah I didn't have a pic of my car completely stock. So I snagged one off the internet somewhere. I'm sure you wouldn't want to see it stock anyways... not that sporty looking lol.

Unhappy OEM Fog Lights

I was talking to Honda and they said after installation and all... the foglights would cost me about $600!!! Has anyone done it for cheaper?? Can you do it yourself for cheaper??
