Help with lower grill fogs on an 05
#5
yes, those need to be cut. This mod is much more time consuming then it appears. I am doing the ebay accord fogs and 07-08 lower grilles and it looks awesome but is taking some time! Are you planning on hid's in the fogs? If so ddmtuning has an awesome kit for $40!

I already have my HID kit... I just need to find a day to sit down with my bumper and cut away.
For mounting, is there any reason to not mount these with a strong plastic adhesive? Theres essentially only 1 adjustment screw on my housing (up/down) and that'll still be functional. I'm 90% I'll be doing this and just cutting off the existing mounting brackets since they don't fit up anyway.

well, mounting the actual fogs is the last thing I have to do, everything else is in. I don't think I will be using the brackets either but we'll see what happens when I actually go to put them in. Last time I had everything apart I didn't see how the brackets would line up to fit in there.

^ Yeah I have a friend wiring everything and mounting the ballasts. I just have to take care of the fitment and mounting the housings. I'm probably gonna cut off the flappy plastic stuff and the grind off the metal brackets... then get some plastic weld and install them.

Dont just start cutting away. If you can, put the foglight over the area and mark it before cutting. its better to cut less and trim some more, than to over cut, and be left with nothing to hold the fog light assembly.

sorry 'bout that. I'll try to go under the car later and take a pic from behind the bumper. hopefully that will give you an idea where to cut if you havent done so. i feel bad I wasnt able to take pics of the cut areas when mine was done.

lol I drove around for 2 days with my aspec lip off and my grilles out. One of my friends was even like "Carrie wtf happened to the front of your car?" hahahaha I even had pieces of the 3M tape on the bumper

Ive posted this pic before on other lower fog threads, but since jmkiang is a friend, I have no problem reposting
Notice how the bracket on the right side is used, and how its tab is bent prior to install to make it all work like cake.

^ Thanks. It wasn't the cleanest install I must say but I was more worried about secure mounting and proper aiming. Everytime I had the housing in place to bolt down, it always shifted a bit once everything was tightened. I used some custom brackets to mount everything (thin sheet metal strips). Its pretty secure and I finally got the aiming a little better. After the install, the fogs were pointing higher than my low beams!
My friend did all the wiring so major props to him. I got an OEM switch too so it looks nice and pretty.... just gotta change the bulb colors so they all match.
Still have to cut my grill inserts and put them in. I also want to see if I can "fill" in the gaps around the housings with something... maybe some type of black plastic adhesive...?
