Fog lights for 2005 Accord coupe
Hey guys, i want some fog lights for my car. I checked with the honda parts store and they said it's gonna cost $330.00 not including installation.
Can you guys recommend where i can get aftermarket parts for less? Don't know much about cars so thanks in advanced.
Oh yeah, are there different brands or styles? Any recommendations???
i see some stuff from e-bay but not sure.

yea they are expensive there... they will charge you about $450-500 everything including installation....
But remember, buying something cheap online like ebays.... they are not always a good idea. Especially when you're dealing with electrical. could mess up with computer programs.... good luck
remember, you get what you paid for

To me, the oem fogs are almost worth their price... oem fit and quality of the lights, harness and switch.
The OEM lights can be found cheaper on ebay or www.handaaccessories.com.
If you do end up going aftermarket, steer far clear of PIAA... they're WAY overpriced. I would recomend Hella Micro DE fogs as they're really really small (easy to mount) and have incredible output!

hey, i just ordered the fog lights from handaaccesories.com. it's almost $100 cheaper and i should be getting it early next week. they have a lot of stuff on that site. thanks for the referral.
i'm just gonna bring it to honda and have them install it. i think they said labor is $90/hr and it should take 2hr. i rather have them do it. if anything goes wrong i can bring it back in i think.
been thinkin about getting the lip kit too. but damn expensive. i dont like how the back of the car looks sometimes. its seems high for some reason.
what do you guys think of just getting one piece for the back? i wonder how it would look.
