Yeah, do it, and next time post in the right forum. Better yet, search for other people's experiences with this most similar issue that you have, and don't make a thread about this topic at all. It's not really an 'issue' unless you have problems making your mind up.

i did a real quik search at work & didnt see anything relevant anyway thanks for the feedback...

No problem. I've recently encountered numerous thread about people asking which HID kits they should put into their fogs for best output, etc, or if it's worth it, and what color, etc, etc. That's why I gave such feedback.

Nokya's are show bulbs, they aren't engineered to make light especially if you buy on their low end ($15 - $20 bulbs). A friend of mine was debating between Nokya's and Luminics and went with the latter and likes the output.

I would look at PIAA if they make the bulb that goes in the 01-03 Civic fogs (I don't know what bulbs they use). I have PIAA H3's and they're amazing. You really don't need an HID kit in your fogs if you buy a decent bulb.

i had nokya's in the fogs on my gti, and they were great. hardly a "show bulb".

maybe the fact that these are fog lights meant for civics, not an accord, has something to do with it. and the fact that theyre not aimed correctly at all. theyre more like "show fogs".

hmm, could be. how much did you spend? the reason I said that is because my buddy last his job recently, so I decided to buy him a set of yellow bulbs because he liked mine so much. and most of the nokya products i came across actually said on the packaging/description "These Headlight Bulbs are intended for off road and show purpose, NOT for street use."

well i made my mind up soon as i sell a couple of things lyin around im goin to purchase an 8000k & 3000k kits from ddm tuning. piaa is to expensive to test out n see if its as bright as hid, the kit only costs half the price anyway.
