Thumbs up accord fogs install question

ok, ive seen alot of threads regarding the accord fog installs...but none of them are really precise in answering some questions i had. so i was wondering whoever has these installed can please help out.

first question is, i want to install them to my corner lights...i see some people say its possible, but some said its not? dont i just snap a relay onto it then tap them into the corner lights?

second question, the fitting part... i would like them to fit as flush as possible..not sure if the guys who have them installed are doing a quick job so theyre not completely flush, or they just simply cant be perfect without a gap?... below are two photos. one from badehs car which ive circled in red where teh gaps im talking about are....



and this second picture... no one had precise answer on how they cut it... did u guys leave the top two bars and only cut the bottom one so u can slide it in the little roadlamp slot?



THANKS !

Hey Vin...

I'm not sure when you expecting to install but I want to be around when you try to get these in...

If you can do it...I want to do mine too.

answer to number one is yes. you need a relay and tap into the corner light for the trigger. if your handy with a relay then 85 neg, 86 park lt, 87 12+, 30 fog light (+) side. 85 and 86 post is interchangeable.

as for number 2 i sanded mine down, tape off the bumper, filled in the gaps with bondo, sanded it smooth, painted them black. no gaps


forgot to mention out a fuse on 87 so that just ur fogs go out and not both.

no you don't need another fuse. you can just run the fuse that it came with.
