So I just bought some fogs from ebay... the ion lense ones.

I know the switch sucks, and the harness might not reach... I was looking for pics of the output from others with the ion lense.

Has anyone changed the bulbs to yellow.

Anyone moded the socket to take a diffrent bulb?

Anyone done anything with them becides installed them and been happy or pissed off?

Damn, I forgot to get you some pictures. I have one complaint. I put them on, and three weeks later both are cracked. They're not impact cracks either. I think they got too hot and a rain puddle hit them. I'm running Nokya hyper yellows in them. The light output is amazing, though. You won't regret the purchase. The only part of the ebay harness I used is the one that connects to the fogs.

i did buy the ebay fogs and i hated it, so i sold it to another memeber on here and he said it worked fine. i brought the real oem fogs from handaaccessories. get the nokya hyper yellow. u wont regret it. i have it for my turn signal also

Damn... cracked huh? Thats going to suck because I live in a VERY rainy place. Cracked from heat I'm guessing... anyway to treat plastic so it work crack under sudden temp changes such as the puddle hitting it?

Hmm.. I'm still not sure about what kind of bulbs they are. I think they are H11's but I may be wrong.

BTW sen, i'd still be interested in some pics!! And ay, what do u know- its dark out at the moment! haha.

Hmm.. well heres a pic frm the seller I bought them from. (4caroption) I'm slightly worried that they may send the wrong product, I've heard they have fvcked orders up before, but I put in two places to double check that they are the correct ones. Hopefully they wont look yellow, and will look more clear/white when they are not on. Trying to not stick out and have amber, yellow, white, ect lights on my car, lol.. christmas tree style.

the ion lens makes the light a tad yellowish, but its not a big difference, maybe you might not even notice. you can get the nokya yellow bulbs tho they are much better than stock. and yes they get very hot but ive never had mine break. i wouldnt recommend putting film on them cause well it will just melt. maybe try some diamondite spray for chip protection. i think cargeek still sells it.

hey iv had the ebay fog lights for a year and something now and i havnt had any problems. as for the ion ones my buddy bought them 1 month ago and they are a bit yellow not to much. looks ok but get the yellow bulbs. I recently got the 3000K yellow bulbs in mine and looks really good.

 
Rep Power: 388

Cool... diamondite, i'll check that out. cargeek or autogeek.com autogeek.net?
I did a search and found it, I think... looks like just a glass cleaner- I'm not so sure about its plastic protection abilities.


Thank god some ppl's havent cracked. Thats good to know. *sigh of relief*

I've heard good things about the nokya bulbs

Could you guys post pics of the output with whatever bulbs you have in, thanks!

the SHIELD canister protects plastics and glass and other things from chipping. idk how it does it, but thats what it says on the bottle. they use it for airplane windshields.

anyone ordered a genuine OEM fog light switch to replace the gay ones that come with the ebay kits?

 
Rep Power: 388

^^^^
yeah, I gotta do that. which one is whats good?

I also need a fog light switch to use with the foot well lighting I was telling you about. Plans- running 2 inverters for 4 ccfl tubes- wanted to have them come on with the doors opening, and also have it controlled by a fog light switch so I could turn them on whenever I want. --suggestions on a Honda OEM foglight switch for this?? Hopefully they'd be the same.

I think it was you gearbox, didnt you have lke 4 switches down by the cig lighter that each lit up a different color?

put some HID in there, bye bye heat issue.

good point. i have two switches that light red in my center tray for hi beam and neon, then i got the other switch and led for the drl. and my fog switch is where cruise was. i have the ashtray and lighter center piece now. if you want piccs i can dig some up.

 
Rep Power: 285

no but there is a alot of birdies

 
Rep Power: 388

Yeah could you, I was looking for a pic of what I remembered, but couldnt find any images that still existed.

What switch can I use for both the neon's and the fogs?

 
Rep Power: 811

well i bought some autozone switches, just red lens with a light inside. they are really bright but not as bad as those crazy led ones that blind you. i dont use em often enough to care obviously. i got another switch under the dash cover for the main headlights but no pic of that.



and the oem fog switch, doesnt fit perfect cause theres small gap, but it works

 
Rep Power: 388

Hmm thats not what I was thinking of, but that is another idea. Looks like a space shuttle, verrom.

Anyone remember the picture of the center console near the cigg outlet that a member had like 4 oem switches, each for a different thing and each with a different color led inside? I was hoping to make my switches match and be able to use the same OEM one. is there a fog light switch (OEM honda) that would would work with both a set of neons and egay foglights?

wt u should have done is boughtthe regular clear lenses and bought some yellow lamenx film.this way,itll also protect ur cheapo lense from cracking due to rocks on the freeway.

 
Rep Power: 291

you can wire the fog light switch to turn on whatever you want. you could even make one a NOS button so people wouldn't know you had it! i know one website sells the OEM's in white and amber/red (DX/LX and EX versions i think) in daylight, they'd look the same, but at night, they'd be different colors.

thats what im doing..i bought gay cheapo ebay "yellow" fogs..and they gave me the crap ion lenses..not that i have anythign against it..but yeah..gay..so im buying a roll of laminx so i can do my headlights as well =D

got the ion ones from ebay to, they are a little bit more yellowish then the pics.

 
Rep Power: 811

bad idea, the heat will cause the film to burn/smoke and turn brown.

 
Rep Power: 352

hum...iono ive havnt had any problems so far =]

 
Rep Power: 251

really? r u sure...i mean the yellow film is meant to go over headlights and foglights....

 
Rep Power: 811

honda fogs run too hot, enough to burn your hand. laminx was nice tho i sent them pics of the film that turned brown and burnt and they gave me refund. headlamp lenses are much bigger and dont get as hot so its not a problem. looks like the ion lens helps more than just getting the bulb. i tried some ion blue/yellow bulb and it looked almost exactly like stock. if they werent on side by side there is no way to even notice a dif.

 
Rep Power: 251

okie ill take ur word for it...but im not listening =D hahah and ill just let u say..."told u so" haha...but yeah..im not doubting u =D

 
Rep Power: 352

ive gotten some 3000k yellow bulbs before that look exactly like stock. and yet they were coated.

now, i buy the NOKYA brand bulbs...they are super yellow...+1 for awesome

 
Rep Power: 311

i'll have to agree with gearbox here, the laminx does burn. I had my fogs for about 2 weeks before the nokya yellow bulbs were too much for it. they are brown/black. looks as if you took a lighter and burned the outside
