They are aftermarket 99-00 OEM fogs retrofited onto a 92-95 Civic bumper.

It is pretty hard. My friend has been working on it for about a month and is not finished yet. You have to keep cutting and test fitting, then you have to find some way to mount the fogs in.

Sorry but no write up. He has no camera and has been too busy to write something.

Basically you have to cut the 2 spots in your bumper where the oiginal fog lights go and keep cutting until the fogs and the housing fit. You will have to cut some of the metal bumper support in order for the fogs to fit right. You will also have to figure out someway to mount the fogs on the bumper.

HIH,

Two things I noticed.

That foglight kit must be an aftermarket knockoff of the OEM kit. There are three horizontal "fins" within the recesed area of the trim around the lense. This is NOT on the OEM kit.

Secondly, I see 4 (what appears to be) screws holding the trim to the bumper, from the front. As much as it appears clean, the chrome screws stand out on the gray trim. It would look better if black screws were used, or maybe painted. This is apparently one method in which to mount. Although, I can't imagine this being a very strong method in which to keep them mounted.

haha agreed, but its just as good as honda did when designing the mounts for the actual bumper. The could've used more heavy duty screws on the side. When you hit cones, it breaks the damn bumper off lol
