Finally Installed OEM Euro Fog Lights

Well, after many months of waiting, I finally got the lights from Chiswick Honda in the UK and installed them earlier today. The install was by no means easy as this kit is quite different from the US kit. I actually had to obtain a US harness to make this work. I am also running the UK switch means in the future I can add a rear fog light.

As you will from some of the pics, the left fog cover is actually open through the bumper. This is for the Diesel Accord in Europe. Apparently the air intake for the engine sucks air through this opening. This necessitated making the lights smaller. Despite their appearance, these are not projector fogs, although I have not opened them up yet. You cannot see the bulb through the glass only a mirror of some sort.

Anyway, I will take some night shots when have a chance.

I also included one shot of m wife's new Mazda 3 hatchback.

Not feeling the little fog lamps, but to each their own. BTW, soap and water will do wonders to your ride.

Wonder what they'll look like if you had the fog covers painted ABP.

JCG, Do you think they'll ship the TypeS/EuroR kit to the US? Can you give me a contact from this dealership?

Total price of the kit was $500 USD.

If anyone is interested, call Will Lewis at Chiswick Honda (pronounced chisik).

Service was excellent. They will ship to you direct so you wont have to pay VAT.
