Got these beauties back!

Back in the days when I had my first CL I had bought a brand new set of OEM foglights and never installed them. Just got them back today. Still have never been installed.



Does anyone have a pic of these installed on their car? I am also looking for the '98 switch.

If you mean the switch in the interior, just go to a Honda dealer and get the fog light switch for a 97 accord. about $20 and its sitting in my console now

wow I didn't realize factory fog lights were so big for these things. where are they supposed to mount? I am guess you would have to modify the lower valance grill a little to fit those monstrous things in there. I was going to place some after market round fogs in mine and even they fit very tight in the rails of the grill so I can't imagine those would fit without any modifications anywhere that I have seen fogs before

I dont have my Inza red '97 CL with the Euro-R anymore. My friend has it. It's a pile now but still has an H22 in it. One built for a turbo. Here it is with the blue valve cover H22 in it.



The Euro-R H22 is history. Inexperience and carelessness destroyed the $5000 dollar beast. The 11:1 compression made the Vtec so loud! It was a fun car.
I just picked up a '97 Black 5spd the other week for my lady. @ $3000 I had to have it! I'm so glad I bought it too! I still love these cars. It's right at home next to my black IS300 Lexus. Here it is:

As for the foglights: If you guys look at your front bumper, in the center grill at each corner you will see little notches to mount the brackets for the OEM foglights. From what I'm reading I hear '97's didnt come with foglight harnesses?? I never saw them in my old car. I figure I will have to find aparted 98-99 CL and cut the harnesses out of it.I dont want to do any crappy looking home made wiring so...

Also I am changing the '97 to a '98 center console here real soon. So hence the search for a '98 switch. I have everything but the right color console plastic. I WILL POST THE PINOUT FOR THE CLOCK TOO GUYS, DONT WORRY I'll post a thread about it.

I saw those notches you are referring to but those fogs in the picture look way to big to even fit between the rails of the grill. To me at least they do anyhow. I know my 97 doesn't have any wiring for fogs. not sure if all of them are without them or not but mine doesn't have any

Yeah they do look big but trust me, the snug right in. I need an H3 HID kit for them I'm going to do yellow fogs just like my Lexus. I honestly like how big they are. They're different than any other Honda fogs. Just like the car, unique.

i appreciate the rareness of the OEM fogs but i think they look dumb. they look exactly like 98-01 Integra fogs which i hate.

ive said this like 100 times already but the fogs hybridnrg had looked the best.
