DIY 01-03 JDM Civic Fog Lights

[eg_ferio]

youre talking about the circle ones that take 880-series bulbs? they will stick out from the bumper because the radiator support thingys on the sides are in the wrong spot.

from what ive found, the blazers have a depth (from tip of lens to end of the bulb) of 13 cm/5.1", BUT the bumper only has space for a ~5.5" light...ish.

but wtf ever, do it anyway i guess.


as a side note, i think i found a bomb setup for projector fogs. i need a depth spec and then i might *might* move along with it. looking like ~$150 though, and thats with halogen bulbs...i wouldnt get HID until i get the retro done anyway

yeah, i think these are the ones ur talking about, the power wire for both fogs are really short, so i will prolly putting these on each side of the liciense plate. and damn 150 for a pair of fogs w/o HID, some expensive lights!

^ try buying nice off road / driving lights for something like a jeep..... $$$$$$

they wouldnt be so expensive if i could just buy the plastic surrounds for the 01-03 civic lights, but id have to get the whole kit for ~$50 cause the $30 ones dont look as good (and the sellers have crap feedback for the cheaper ones).

its the projector swap thats going to cost...about $70 for em and add in another $28 for the oem switch...

but, i dont know if i really want/need fogs. they would look nice, but i dont know how much use they would actually get.

Well I am at college and i don't know when I will be getting to my car this week. I dont drive much while I am here. I will post pics hopefully this week. As for the bumper, I cut it myself and custom-made brackets to hold them in place, so I guess you can figure that part out yourself. As for the electrical pics, I will post the wiring diagram for everyone since that is what the majority wants to know about. Sorry for the delay but I have very busy with school for the past month.

hmm well i just started installing my 01-03 civic fogs today...

not finished yet cuz it got too dark, so ill try to finish tomorrow.

cutting wasnt that bad. i just need to figure out how im gonna secure the foglights and wire it.

i took a few pics, i guess itll help some ppl with the cutting and stuff.

damn urs look really yellow, do they have a blue tint to them at a certain angle?

 

[ccordex00]

I used zip ties...I'll probably get the yellow fogs cause I didn't like the blue ions...

 

[ckinne]

You need L-brackets. I made custom ones but you can buy pre-drilled ones at home depot for dirt cheap.
