OEM Fogs vs Aftermark fogs

GhostDZ9 · 04-18-2012, 02:33 PM

Hey guys,

I am going to be putting in fogs myself and I was wondering what your guys opinions of OEM Fogs vs Aftermarket Fogs are?

I have found Aftermarket fogs on a Website which includes everything i need however I'm not sure if it includes the plate for where the button is supposed to go.

Your thoughts?

i mounted my button in the coin holder under the vsa

GhostDZ9 · 04-18-2012, 03:14 PM

Well I don't have the VSA button, where those buttons are supposed to go I just have an empty slot. what should I be looking for?

i have that switch for the si. im sure it works for the non si models. i bought it but never installed it because i didnt have the correct wiring harness from the fogs kit. ill sell it to you

Hi, most aftermarket light kits comes with the switch and the panel (fits the slot).
Mine is from the K2 motor, comes with everything.

no they dont come with the switch. they come with the button. the switch is for the steering column which has to be purchased only from a honda dealer.

switch=replaces turn signal with fog controls
button=looks like vsa button

Sargeoif · 04-23-2012, 03:00 PM

Mine came with the button as the switch.

stallion07 · 04-23-2012, 04:05 PM

Sargeoif · 04-23-2012, 10:36 PM

GhostDZ9 · 05-12-2012, 10:15 PM

Have you put these on yet? Just bought some from the same place.

I got mine from Ebay also and the only problem i have had with it was my fault. i didn't use a good grounding spot for the wire that hooks to the brown greased up plug near the washer fluid tank. I also love how they blink when i lock my doors.

Do you have the link?

i've owned 2 sets of aftermarket fogs and i find the output is garbage and some of the wiring harnesses are just terrible. I traded my 08 in for a 11 civic si and i love the oem fogs.
