if it's lamin-x, then buy it from lamin-x.com

i would say go with lamin-x, not because you may get better lighting, but because it will protect the fog light lens.

you just get a bulk pack and cut yourself. There is no precut for our fogs. I'm using nokya yellow bulbs and they're very bright. Melted the laminx on there so I don't use it anymore. Lens still hasn't cracked.

yea that should be enough. just follow the diy about taking the fog light off, tracing a circle on paper and then using it to cut the laminx.

The 04/05 civic take a H8 bulb. They are stock 35w. Think the Hyper yellow would be ok in the clear lense ?

well the nokya are stock wattage, but they got really hot.
Just wondering if the stock harness will be ok ?

ya i couldn't figure out at first why there was smoke everytime i used em. just figured water was vaporizing or something. finally i look and there's a big brown spot. lucky the fogs were unharmed.

those up there say 35w so should be fine, just don't put laminx.

Hard to find H8's. I have a set of Silverstar's home from my last rig a 2004 Grand Cherokee. They are a 9006xs. Straight base. Just wondering if they would fit. They are 55w !! This is what they look like. (not actual light)
