got my fogs! pics finally added!

[MajinB]

ok lets see. thanx tara. i love you hun. she wants me to get them professionally installed. which i don't have a problem with. im gonna ask them to do the wiring so i can have them on while the lights are off. if they don't ill do it myself. but does anyone know how much install is gonna be? like a ballpark. i test fitted each side and it lookes like you have to cut the whole black part out. not just where the bulb goes but where the fitting goes too. i even got the OEM switch. sweet!

YAY! post some pictures when you get them on! i'm happy for ya.

[MajinB]

pics. these things are bigger than i thought they would be.

[blackBDMcivicLX]

Where did you get them from? And if from ebay, who was the seller?

[gearbox]

looks good. install is prolly gonna be around $200

[Yoshiemaster]

wow, didn't think they looked that good MajinB, your GF has good taste. i love the switches that have the protective flap you have to flip before you turn something on.

you love taking pics of stuff on your bed don't you.

^^^^ wanna know too...

[ragingSPAM]

installation from a dealer goes anywhere from $140-$300

[tuningmycivic]

i want fogs to go with the lip kit im getting now.....

[CivicSF]

you could save a lotta cash doing it yourself. get rid of the stock plastic covers, bolt on the lights while making sure the connections don't lean on the radiator or such, conect the wires (might need to do this before bolting-on), then run em up thru the dash hole into the cig-lighter area... probabably take you an hour or two but you could grab an exhaust for that labor price...

[jaydm21]

i checked with the honda dealership and they quoted me $125 for the installation of my fogs and i have the same ones you do.

[white2K2EX]

My new car has fogs and I LOVE those things. If my lights are on, my fogs are on. Soooo much better.

I can't believe I never installed those on my Civic.

[cj2185]

I installed my oem fog lights myself. It's pretty easy except trying to get the wires through the frame.

[MajinB]

yoshie- yea i love doin it. its easier.
my gf DID get them from ebay. she would not tell me how much. it could not have been the 30 dollar ones cause those do NOT come with a OEM switch like this one.
civicsf- she requested that i do it professionally. i have no problem with this.
jaydm21- thanx! thats low price. ill find a shop that will do it for less and then i will tell you how much i ended up paying for it.

guys, i will ask my gf tomorrow who the seller was. or ill look myself. she won't tell me how much. it was a hannukah present.
EDIT:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-03...25620469QQrdZ1
never mind, i guess the 30 dollar ones do have the oem switch. it has to be either this seller or a seller named k2motor-
they are both on ebay. i ordered my eyelids of off the k2motor person. shipping was hella fast. i recommend him/her.

Word of caution -
I hope that switch is actually good, as the two switches I got for my eBay fogs were crap. The inside lights basically melted the plastic around it and destroyed it.

Also, might want to think about grabbing some lamin-x to protect the lenses.

[RHCP0801]

^^^^ yea i also heard of those ebay switches melting and crapping out, might want to get some better switches so that doesnt happen

ill go to advanced auto parts in a few days. im not gettin them installed right away cause im goin on a skii trip next week. 75 bucks don't sound bad at all.
anyways, about laminx or whatever. should i paint them or get the cheaper laminx stuff at the auto store?

[boricua_civic]

cheaper laminx would look good...

[MajinB]

is that sarcasm? o well. i don't have 50 bucks for 2 small ovals on some fogs.

[05_ CivicJDM]

^Or for like $25 you can spray them yellow.

i want white. im installing my arctic white bulbs in a few days when i finally have some time. then ill see what color i need to spray or cover with whatever the hell it needs.

[MYK1013]

welcome to the foggies club.
I had mine professionally installed for $60. I dont know much about car wiring and stuff.

[bluestreak]

it's pretty much plug and play, DIY

[MajinB]

i asked the gf, and told her you guys wanted to know who the seller was and how much. she can't remember the seller but she finally told me 34 bucks with taxes and shipping. that is a good price imo. hells yea.

i test fitted each side and it lookes like you have to cut the whole black part out. not just where the bulb goes but where the fitting goes too. i even got the OEM switch. sweet!

Install can be 150$ something if you find some non-tax place. Install yourself is fine too but it is a lot of work, I just did it recently and it is not extremely easy. It took me a while to find out some rust on the chassis can stop the light from lighting up.

The time I spent was surely above 150$, but for me it is fun so I accepted it.

[gearbox]

my bro just got fogs and white luks H11 that look really nice for his acura rsx. only thing is his chrome is turning black already thanks ebay

[schematicsskate]

It seems like you want someone else to do the install, but this will give you an idea anyways

P.S. i had to get 15 posts to help you out, what a joke

[Yoshiemaster]

i'm sure majinB wants to do his own work, but his GF wants a pro to do it.

[schematicsskate]

Oh i didnt catch that
