finally done with my fogs

man if any of you bought atomic street fogs from ebay, you would know how much pain i had to go through just to get these ******* to light up.. haha
first they dint gimme ground bolt, no wire ties, lack of screws, different fuse and no instruction guide watsoever on the electrical part.... (im sure most of you already know that the oems and aftermarkets have different set ups)

but.... finally i did it .. it lighted up at 6 oclock in the morning today...
watta great xmas present for me.
cant help but to share picture... my car is still bone stock. this is pretty much my first mod. im happy that i did it all by my own. = )





all in all i think i still would go through all the trouble then buying oem one for 150 dollar more haha

i think all of these aftermarkets from ebay's are like that. i heard many bad stories about k2 motor also. i still recommend it over OEM fogs just coz its much cheaper.

Noooooooo - they suck.

The product is good - I was pleasantly surprised at how good my kit was for the money compared to OEM. But Atomic Street is shady. They printed out my UPS shipping label & sent me a tracking # right away. But they didn't actually ship the kit until about 2 weeks after that.

The kit itself doesn't say who actually manufactured it. I'd bet all these ebay kits are the same exact thing - they all look the same in the listings & have the same characteristics (no instructions, no templates, same wiring harnesses, etc). So it really boils down to finding a seller who has a good price, will ship quickly, and will answer an email.

the fogs from procivic or passwordjdm are more expensive than ebay. but from the looks of it they seem to give you same wire harnesses, same packaging and everyhting so i donno .. maybe the build quality is better?

but yeah i agree with cmv.. i think all ebay fogs are the same... no matter what the name brands are

i know too many people that are out living the OEM fogs that have eBay fogs, cracking, condensation and such. I would have to say eBay for the price and if you can deal w/ the wirring nightmare, go w/ them ....

That looks like man! I like
