Rep Power: 0 Fog Lights Installed!!!
Took most of the day - here's the finshed mod.
.
If you want to try this here are some notes I made about the install. Step numbers are based on the Honda instruction I got from http://www.anythinghondaonline.com/.
Step 03 I used 2 flat head screwdrivers on each side of the clip to pop out the end clips.
Step 04 Had 2-5mm allen head bolts holding the grill to the front of the car.
Step 06 Had to cut out the entire hole, not just at 3 points; took a while to do. Be careful!!!
Step 07 Same as step 6.
Step 10 Good time to drill 3mm holes for lip installation. Wish mine had come in.
Bumper install complete. Did the work on carpet to minimize chance of damage.
Step 20 Loosen/unclip fender liner to give you more room to work around the washer reservoir.
Step 23 The ground bolt was the wrong size. Found one in my nut/bolts bin.
Step 30 Gotta pull hard.
Step 40 Reinstall 3 comnnector in reverse order - blue/white/green. Blue was tough to do.
Step 44 No retainer on my connector.
Step 50 Don't know why you need gloves. Popped out easy, almost hit my face.
Step 53 The footrest just pushes on.
FYI - 3mm is approx. 1/8" and 10mm is approx. 3/8"
Let me know if you have any questions.

how much cheaper was it to buy the kit than to get it done at the dealer?
