re: OEM 96 - 98 Civic driving/fog lights (the square ones)

[xivera]

First & foremost, could somebody post pix of these lights... actually on a Civic (preferably white)!? Secondly, are they fog lights or driving lights?
Also, would it be possible to convert them to HID?



Thanx!

There was a pic of a white one with the squares on a foglight thread here on HAN.

Try a search for a foglight thread...

here you go:

Yup, that is the one!

[derf]

looks nice...

the only thing I'd be scared about with those lights is the quality. Its virtually impossible to get the real ones anymore, so all you can get is replicas, that sell for about 1/3 - 1/4 the price of the real ones, and are made by companies such as APC. I'd be afraid that they'd be pieces of sh1t that would leak/melt/ etc. The square ones do look nice though...much nicer than the round

[xivera]

Actually, the aftermarket ones are made by RE Works (under APC).

I've seen a number of different companies that make them...not just apc. I would just be really leery of the quality. Obvious, APC and companies like it don't make the best quality stuff...and considering that those kits go for only about $70-$100s, while the OEM ones (if you could still get them) would go for $200-$300. That has to say something.

Does anyone have any experience w/ any brands, what is suggested if
I where to buy some oem style fog lights? any to stay totaly away from (apc implyed)

[crucial Si]

what about depo?

Go PM or ask user "White95CivicSi" as he's the resident HAN 5G Civic OEM/OEM-style foglight expert! If I remember correctly, he's currently using Depos right now.

I know Pilot makes OEM replica foglights for 6th gen, but they only come in the round style. Pilot however is a halfway decent brand that makes a pretty reputable product. Its not Raybrig, but its not bad.

I doubt they cost that much when OEM 99-00 fogs cost $140 brand new

I beg to differ: http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com

look under exterior accessories for '98 Civic

and this is the only site that I've ever seen that actually says they have them.
