I recently purchased a genuine Honda OEM fogs 04-05 from a member. My question is i don't think these are genuine honda but just the cheap ebay knock offs, if they are honda would the parts fogs or harness say honda on the back? Thanks alot.

im not exactly sure, but one of my friend's told me how the real oem honda ones will be marked stanley.

post pics and ill help you find out.

stanley is probably the manufacturer of the reflector. aftermarket ones MAY be labelled with the DEPO brand name.

those are knock offs...same ones i got off ebay for 80 shipped...the real ones will say "stanley" on the back of the unit like our oem headlights...i've seen the oem fogs and they are basically the same but it doesnt say stanley...overall the performance is the same

the real ones dont have a relay with bracket attatched they have a separate bracket for it...plus the switch isnt that cheap looking...i got mine packaged basically the same as urs

i cant say 100% for urs cuz the pix are like infint said **** small but they look like it...but than again i could be wrong

i should of downsized them that much sorry ill try to post bigger pics but yea i have some honda instructions that say the relay and bracket are seperate and this is definately just one pieces ive 99.9999% sure these are fake

does anyone know if paypal will help you retrive your money back or what not? also is there anything you can do on here to get a refund?

 
Rep Power: 434

ask the seller for a partial refund if you want to keep the product. paypal probably won't do jack **** because you got a product.

he said email him what parts im missing which are the directions, fuse label, cable ties, and these special cable ties with clips and he will try to get them from honda would would b nice but isnt a really big deal but i think a partial refund would be best because this def. was fraud

would it b best to try a few more days to work things out with him before i file a claim with paypal?

 
Rep Power: 319

yes...cuz thats the final place u should go

So who did you buy them from that "claimed" they were Genuine Honda Parts?

 
Rep Power: 812

look for things like stanley, philips, germany, etc. if you don't see good names, they're the ebay ones.

cough..HwNpRyDe_CiViC ...cough

he isnt responding back to me anymore so i am going to file a complaint with paypal and .... anyone get any other ideas?

 
Rep Power: 319

if he doesnt do anything than go ahead with paypal because what he sent u wasnt what was described it was

 
Rep Power: 0

u gotta do it quickly, or atleast file a claim within 45 days of sending payment

paypal is very slow so try to rush things

It's a shame that the dude basically lied to you and sold you knock-offs.

That said, for 80 bucks they look like they'll work fine...

I think mine were like $300 from the dealership and the cheapest I've seen online is about $250.

Uhm... he was trying to sell some fogs again. I asked for price shipped and wellll... won't do it. Thanks redex04 for warning me with that PM!!!





So, eBay ones are practically the same quality (visually) than OEM ones, it's just that the button is crappy? What do you think if I buy eBay ones and an OEM button, so it wouldn't look as crappy?

i ordered the oem switch i need to see if it will work with the harness tho i will let u know

 
Rep Power: 434

oem switch probably wont work with the ebay fog lights. there's like a 0.00000001% chance that it will work.

i was gonna just wire up a universal switch from the autoparts store but the ebay switch has 4 wires going to it and i dont kno what each of them are to wire up another switch
