does anyone else have this problem. I order a set of 03 accord fogs from ebay. I got it in today and i noticed that there is a gap between the housing and the fog lamp. is it suppost to look like that ?

 

It cant be exactly flush or else you cant adjust them.

That is how it should look. Good luck on the install

 

you won't notice the gap once it's installed, no worries.

 

oh ok ill find out when i install this weekend..

 

Can you do a write up of this install?

Since there is no one here on actually did a write for a good write up and how it was install. It is just in pieces....

thx

 

yea id like to see how much you need to sand off the grills and how much you need to sand of the fogs...thanks

 

sand off? what are u supposed to sand dude? u cut the grills but make sure u take measurements 3 times and cut once. I let the grills slightly come in a lil more so i can give the light some kinda support and then I set it in place. I finished up a mark up of a foglight adapter for the 03 fogs to attach to the bumper without a lot of work. next week it should be tested to see how flush it is.

 

ohh ok...i guess take picture of how it looks once its cut then...and what about the foglights itself..did you have to make any mods to that?

 

good luck wiht the install man, i just finsihed mine a day ago....cutting was pretty fun actually...let me know how you wired on the switch! lol

 

The "OEM" switch from EBAY wont fit the open slot next to VSA/Mirror Controls in the dash. Atleast mine didnt. Dotn hack up your dash to make it fit either, you can get the REAL oem switch from a honda dealer for $20ish.

 

yeah that's true...however i think i didn't wire my switch right, the light on the switch turns on however it couldn't power on the fogs when i pressed it....either ways i just ended up tapping the fogs into the OE fog wires

 

the switch does fit Ive seen it installed by 2 members on the forum.....with no mods and its tied into the stock system the only thing is, u can turn them on with just the parking lights.

 

I don't know how tripn got them to fit without trimming. I went through hell to get it right but that was mostly because I am one of the very few that has the lower grills meshed too. It is easier if you are going to leave the slats. You need to support the center bar through the foglight to get it right, otherwise it will be weak. Took me DAYS to get it right....Guess I am a perfectionist.

The wiring from the Ebay replica lights is garbage. I couldn't figure it out what wire went where, so I made up my own wiring harness and used an HID system with a lighted blue LED switch mounted into the dash. I have my DCC DVD/Nav switch in my blank so mine is directly mounted into the dash next to it. Yep I had to drill, but it was done right, looks discreet and dosen't look out of place at all.

ib18c1, you did fogs too??? DAYM I gotta see this!! Post some pics man!!

 

dude im a perfectionist as well. more so.

 

let's see some pics of your fogs!
