Could you post your installation procedure and where you bought the fog light? Some pictures would be even better. Thanks!

Yup! Piece of cake!

I installed the fog lights last weekend. My neighbors were were curious and sorta wondering why there was a brand new car being stripped in my driveway!

Also, I spent some time thinking about Honda's Samurai Master Technician who wrote the instructions. As near as I could tell he must have eyes on stalks like a crab, 6 hands, fingers like ET's, the strength of Arnold Schwarzenegger on steroids and some Jackie Chan moves to make on that #&*@$! steering column cover.

Anyway, I had fun and became a lot more familar with my machine. Beats paying the dealer any day! Now, if only they actually DO something in the fog.....

Thank you! Seems straight forward. So, what's the cost different between dealer install and do it yourself?

Did you actually have to rip the bumper apart to get everything installed, like the instructions said, or could you skip and kinda work around some of those steps?

yes you have to take the bumber off to install them, its not that hard, just follow the instructions and remove it. place a large sheet or peice of carpet on the ground to set it onto when you remove it to prevent scratches.

For me the worst sound of the day (and the install) was the sound that bumper made with the last and final pull. Second only to the mess on my hands after pushing those two wires in. Yeah the instructions leave a little to be deisred but they have come a long way. The older members may remember the fun of reading Japanese instruction manuals without the benefit of pictures - and someone who could read and write English.

Has anyone figured a way to have the Fog lights come on , without the head lights being on?

I was able to do this on my Eclipse...I think they look cool with just the parking lights on , along with the fogs only.

I place a jumper on the relay in the eletric box.... hmm may have to have the full wiring diagram for this.

Please post it if you have done this mod.
Thanks

I just bought mine...I have the fogs and will do it mmyself.
And the spolier is in the mail...wa hoo....
