this is a recent thread about ebay fog lights (which are the same that are sold on websites that are called "OEM style fog lights")

just to give you an idea about these..... but my opinion, i'd say those kind (im assuming your questioning the auto zone ones or something)... but i dont have any, im looking to get some, but i'd say the oem style because,,,,, like the name says.... they are oem style

yea i jsut have some yellow ion oval-shaped ones in the area where stock fogs go. i think i paid like $30 for them, but they were crap, one is cracked and both are rusting out so its time for some new ones. i personally dont like the HID look fogs. i like simple yellow fogs or clear white driving lights. keep in mind, with new laws, or maybe already existent laws, in some states, its illegal to have them on unless its actually raining or foggy.

I don't have them, but my buddy does. The Honda OEM fog lights use an H11 bulb, which isn't available anywhere that I know of. One of his foglights were destroyed by gravel during winter driving and Honda said that he would need a whole new kit since the bulb is not sold individually. I'm not sure what the situation is now. The foglights are okay I guess, but it would be nice if it used an H3 bulb instead if you wanted to make the light whiter, or yellower for some.

The kit is around $500 something (Cdn dollars) installed I think at most dealerships. I do believe they are the same kit as the Accord and the RSX.

Yes you can, OEM fog lights uses H11 bulbs.
Just go with OEM style fog lights though. So much cheaper.
