otherwise making a DIY would be fun... like how I installed shocks w/o a spring compressor

link?
i wish lol
it took 2 people and a c clamp
the front was easier, for the back, we had to use a jack and push the suspension down and then compress the spring as much as possible and throw the pin into the right spot. took quite a bit of effort
I went with the 03 civic foglights. Theyre OK quality. The relay and wiring was all like in the DIY. Mine didnt have some of the wires though. I grounded the fogs to the ABS mount with some sanding and I grounded the switch to the steering column.
After I used a dremel and a 1/8" torx bit to clean/cut out most of the bumper grille, I tested the fitment. I had to cut out the tab on the side of the foglight. I cut in a notch in the grille for the foglight to sit in (the part closest to center). I drilled a hole in the bottom of the foglight and bolted it to the bottom of the bumper with one of the bolts they gave. and other part, i found it too hard to zip tie or screw it in, so i looped thick gauge copper household wire through both holes on the side. because of the way i didn't completely cut out the grille line, I just put it behind that. The notch stops it from moving back further and the wire stops it from moving forward. I also cut out holes in the floor of the bumper for beam adjustment, although i didn't have to do it in my case.
The switch kind of hangs out the bezel, and you can't activate it unless you take it out, and push it. $35 for an OEM switch is kind of a rip. I dont really care, unless i get it for cheap.
The mounting was the hardest part and it was cold as hell. I ran the wires through the hole in the firewall above the gas pedal. and some zip ties and duct tape to keep the stuff together.
