on the back of the lower grills they are 3 places for factory screws to go into. i just fabbed up some brackets and mounted them there. it was actually easier than i expected . then added a relay on my factory fogs and wired them to that. so now all 4 fogs turn on with the switch on the stalk.

That looks pretty nice with the base headlights, and the accord fogs look as good as the Type-S fogs! Way to be unique and original! I like it.

Looks good... but may I ask why you didn't just do the TYPE S fogs if you got the TYPE S conversion already?

i would guess its because OEM 07-08 fogs are a lot more expensive than ebay.

Yep even aftermarket, your looking at around 300.00 bucks for both 07-08 fog housings alone. Then you still need bulbs and wiring kit too. Not even cost comparable with the ebay Accord complete kit.

its a type-s bumper because the lower grill curves down, while the 07-08 base curves up.
