Whats involved with mounting these on the bumper? I imagine you can't use the mounting bracket that comes with it on our bumpers?
If I'm starting from scratch with just an OEM fog switch, what else is needed besides the complete pilot 03-05 fog kit? Looks great by the way.
Thank You.
You can use everything that comes with the kit except the plastic cover peices that are specific to the Pilot and the OEM fog switch thats specific to the Pilot.

If I think of anything else Ill let you know.
These are heavy compared to the civic fogs so you cant just attach them to the bumper. YOU MUST ATTACH THEM TO THE FRAME. You are able to attach them to the frame using the OEM fog brackets and the L brackets. I attached mine to the bumper beam and trust me they are very secure there but its such a small space for our cars that you have no room for error. SO measure and measure again.
