How do u guys get your fogs to fit flush? I have a gap on mine in the top round part. When you look at the car from the side you can see the side clip. What's the secret? I have adjusted mine two times already and the gap is still there.

they wont fit flush. they are for a civic. i spent 3 days cutting the fogs themselves to get mine to fit as flush as possible. but a dremel tool can only do so well. you don't have to take much off... but basically you have to sit in front of your car with the fogs and your cutting tool and fit the fog, see what needs to be cut, cut it, and refit it, and keep doing that until you get it to fit how you like it. i got mine to where im happy with them (except that they dont light up. still trying to figure the wiring out) but it took time, and patience. g/l man

I trimmed the corners so that it sits better, next stop I am going to trim the inner part where the grill sits on. Hopefully I can make the housing more straight.

If any1 can confirm the above...I believe the wiring i have connects to battery for power of fogs and fuse for switch. Input please??? and also using the #1 acc fuse slot would be best or using the #2 slot of key on run??
