I was in Walmart today and saw these foglights. I was wondering if anyone has ever used them to do the foglight mod.

They look like they have a similar shape to stock fogs, and they would fit in the space. They also come with all the wires and a switch. If no one has done this then why not? Why does everyone get expensive fogs when these are 18 dollars?

The only reasons I can think of is that people say "you get what you pay for a lot", or maybe HIDs dont fit in them. Other than that I dont know why.

 

They probably won't have to same output with the Walmart Branded package then you will with the OEM Foglights.

The Walmart Fogs probably use 880/890/H4/H11/H7

OEM Fogs use 9006/ or 9005 if you cut them to fit.

The output is greater, but if you are going for looks and appearance the Walmart fogs will work for you. To each their own though, and if you do the Walmart fogs then post some pics up! I want to see how it turns out.

P.S. I have OEM fogs BTW.

 

try measuring if HID's will fit, remember to get 35w's. I personally would totally avoid these... they look ugly and don't flow with the rest of the body lines

 

get em and let me know if they fit ..lol.. ...i need to buy foglights...since i did my 02-03 conversion ive just had empty spaces where the fogs are supposed to go

 

IMO.. neither do round civic fogs in a rectangular cutouts that most people do here...

the OPs dont match up very well with the shape either but i have seen a ton of cheap housings that flow with the stock cut-out shape much better then civic round housing...

 

the empty driver side fog light area can be cut open to allow more air to the airbox- especially if you have removed the intake resonator box that sits in that area
Gets lots more outside air to the air filter

 

Any links? I am interested in doing this mod for the least amount of money without looking like crap.

 

yes you get what you pay for. but anyways the light pattern that it throws will proably be scattered and what, not where like oem one would have very consistent light output and very defined edges

 

If you look at the OEM opening/light you will see that it isn't symmetrical- one end is different than the other. You would have gaps if you use those.

 

i used them. lemme dig up pics

 

 

i put h11 HID's in there. they worked. but i had to fab a way for them to stay in

 

phee I swear bro, you buy a lot of mods for your car from Wal-Mart and make them work too lmfao, you're a beast!

 

Just get Civic fogs.

 

actually .... i think those ovals flow great...take a look at the car that they come from...there housin isnt oval..its a black rectangular housing




heres a civic with rectangular house n oval fogs....thats how ALL hondas are..som oval some round...housing are always wierd trapezoids..

 

btw..these are only 30-50 on ebay.....so id hav to say NOOO to the walmart ones.... they hav clr ones also if you dont like the yellow

 

Use my DIY from the stickied thread

 

Those are NOT Foglights-they're DRIVING lights. Totally different light pattern intended for shining a bright narrow beam way down the road. True foglights have a wide pattern with a cutoff to keep the light low, wide, and close.

If you put those on your car, it will be like you are driving around with high beams on and in actual bad weather, when you really need foglights, those will cause MORE glare and hurt your vision.

Pilot makes some pretty good cheap aftermarket foglights. That brand you showed might be alright, but buy actual foglights.

 

i used them more for aesthetics, the way i mounted them made them shine on the road not forward. they are gone now and im going with the civic fogs.

 

Good point, but I dont want fogs for the functionality as much as for asthetics, The car has no fogs right now so anything would be better nothing, and if they made it worse I could just turn them off. I might go with the civic fogs, but I dont know yet. I still have to work on getting lowered first.

 

The fogs will cost you only $50 at most I think.

It wouldn't hurt your savings too much.

Then if you want HIDs you can get them down the road or all at once.

Everything together would cost you ~$110.

 

the oval ones on the civic and TL posted above look great

 

your confusing housing with bracket... the HOUSING.. the the portion that contains and shoots the light out... and it is oval... the bracket around it is a trapezoid shape...

and you can compare them to the fogs that were made for the cars body lines from the factory (see jdm bumper) and they look years better... just my though

notice how the civic has round portions on the headlight as well.. this is why it works with the front of the civic... our headlights do not have anything round on them.. or anywhere up front for that matter... this is why the civic fog light mod.. while working great.. will never look factory to me... everytime i see them i think immediately that they are out of place

nice job! i may add them on my CL when it gets warmer

 

i get your point....but my 2 cents is that the jdm 99-01 bumper look good..but the fogs look a lil lame....oval ftw.... no beef...to each there own..

 

my civic fogs were on ebay for like $35 then i paid $65 for my 3000k hid kit, then i paid $35 for the 02-03 factory foglight switch to fit right in my dash

 

Also if you don't want to pay for the 02-03 switch you can go to a salvage yard and just...

 

your right..

but i doubt the consensus of people would choose our bumper with civic fogs over the JDM bumper

if you'd choose civic fog mod over this, your loco mayne

 

^^looks clean....but still feeling my ovals over that..lol..sry rockstar...no convincing each otha huh....agree to disagree...

op deciding on anytin?

offf topic:

if i were to buy a bumper..id go 02-03 .. HATE our headlights....no cutoff line...

 

I think the JDM bumper and fogs look great, but that seems a lot more expensive than what im willing to pay just for fogs. Ill probably end up going with the civic fogs. I dont have the time right now though so Im going to wait for a break from college, then do the mod.

 

Walmart fogs or 300+ dollar oems...

 

whose white tl is that with the jdm bumper and fogs? looks so clean.
