Hey everyone, I got my fogs in the other day and I installed them without a hitch thanks to the DIY's on here and other forums. I decided to go with clear lenses and I put Nokya yellow bulbs in so it's the best of both worlds. Clear and clean when off, yellow when on.

I had some extra time today after washing the car, so I decided to take the Civic and my Nikon D60 out for a quick shoot.

Very clean car. You're photos are very crisp, too!

Thanks man! The crispness can be attributed to my D60 and my new speedlight that allows me to bounce and diffuse the lighting. I have a few more of my D60 shots in another thread. You can check them out at https://www.civicforums.com/forums/4...age-3-a-2.html if you want.

Those look awesome.

I've always wanted to install fogs on my 7th gen but I'm afraid of screwing up while cutting the holes in the bumper, and the wiring (the fogs + the switch in the dash).

Maybe I'm just paranoid.

Thanks!

I was pretty nervous myself when I went to install them. Cutting into your bumper/grill is pretty scary because once you start, you're committed lol.

However, it was very easy to do. Cut out the pre-marked tabs on your car, install the mounting hardware, and route the pre-made wiring harness from your battery to the lights. The kit comes with the switch for the dash and to get the wires from your engine bay to the inside switch, there's a removable plug on your firewall that you can fish the wire through. There are plenty of DIY's around that give you step by step instructions as well as pictures to guide you along.

I must say, installing these fogs is the best thing I've done to my car. They look good, but are also really useful when driving. They lay down a super wide, low beam and help your night time vision a lot.

Do it! lol

Yeah. In writing it doesn't seem that difficult, but something about taking my dash apart to fish a wire from the battery through the firewall makes me uncomfortable.

Knowing me, I'd get it apart and wouldn't be able to get it back together.

Lol, trust me, its not bad at all. I'm not 100% sure of the 7th gens, but on my 6th gen, I only had to loosen 3 screws and pull the driver's side dash panel off. Then I had my dad help me push the wire through the firewall with a wire hanger. I grabbed the wire, plugged into the switch and popped the switch into an open spot and then snapped the panel back in and tightened the screws. Done.

Here's the DIY I followed just so you can get an idea of what's necessary: http://www.hondacivicforum.com/forum...ad.php?t=65487

i like it. looks really nice and clean.
dont forget black out headlights mang!

97EK

Haha, thanks man.

To be quite honest though, I'm not a huge fan of the blacked out headlights. If anything I'd go with the gunmetal CTR style. But I'm actually pretty happy with the stock ones for now.
