rear fog lamp installed

Just wanted to share with you all my latest project.

Since I live up in an area where the fog gets really bad. I've always wanted to install some rear fog lamp and I finally did it this weekend.

Here's the pics for anyone interested.

Off...

On...

and the switch for it all...

Well that the problem, the light is custom made.

I have been looking for the OEM light myself but had no luck.

This is the OEM look...

which is for the Civic Saloon 4dr in the UK.

I know there is the rear fog lamp made by Hella but I did not like how it looked.... then a buddy of mine gave me the light which is what I used and is great!

Attached is a closer look of the actual light... take a close look and guess what the light is for originally. BTW, I used 2 elevator bolts to hold up the light.

Also known as belt bolts, these have the largest head diameter of all flush-head styles. Ideal for industrial belting systems where head clearance must be kept to a minimum.

Look closely at the last pic above, I need to paint those flat round silver ends of the bolt to black. Oh yeah I also used nylon hex nuts so I don't have to worry about the bolts coming loose, I guess I could've used locktite but why do that.
