HELP!!! Almost installed 04-05 Fog lights!
Ok well, from these pics, im sure the fogs look nice and alright, but there were many problems incountered in installing them and i still need help on finishing them. So if u know a solution to anything, plz let me know.
I woulda done it myself, but i have never installed fogs before and wouldnt know where to begin, so i took it to a shop i heard of. Most of these problems during installation i think were due to the lack of knowledge or experience on the installation of fog lights that the people at the shop had. I asked them on the phone if they would need an instruction manual, but they said, nahh fogs are easy to install...So i figured ok, they must know what they're doin. But when i got there, they really had trouble with a lot of things like how to bolt the lights onto the bumper and having it fit properly. Thats not all they had trouble with either. The lights dont turn on. Ya, seriously...I have to go back tomorrow around noon and we are gunna try to get them to work. I found myself having to help them and make sure they didnt break anything during the 2 1/2 hours there that we spent.
If you were to look up close to the lights in person, you would see a gap on the side of the fog lights and they both arent centered correctly facing strait, they are facing off to the sides of the car. They really thought and told me that the lights dont fit to well and are kinda uncentered b/c they are OEM "Style" and not the actually factory product. But after looking over the Honda Manual for the installation of the fogs, it looks like they didnt do a bunch of stuff that the manual listed in order for the fogs to be strait and flush with the bumper. So im gunna print out the manual and bring that tomorrow and hopefully we can get them to look nice n strait. As for the wiring and them not turning on, they say that its somethign wrong with the relay or somethin ionno, like we need new ones or somethin...they are also saying that it should be turning on because the fogs are hooked strait up from power, wired up from the on/off button.
If anyone here has any knowledge of wiring fog ligths and might know the answer to our problem...plz help me out. Supposovely its all wired up and should be working but it isnt.
So ya im really fustrated and pissed. But here are the pics...

Rep Power: 0 I have a hybrid that has similar looking fogs. Mine have a platic bar on the side of the lens closest to the outside. That goes into a hole you drill.
If a mechanic said they didn't need instructions and had to think about what they had to do then I would definatly make them read the manual first.
I would stand over their shoulder until they did.
