Can you post a picture please?

I have these fogs, and can't figure out where to fit them on my 6th gen coupe.

Thanks,
Brian

Ok guys... he has already bought the Cyber Whites... so stop talking about OEM ones...

They will come with wireing... at least from the bulb. You can always buy a switch and extra wire and hook them up yourself...

Well, I have a pair of PIAA 1700X but I can't decide where to put them on my 99 coupe so that they look good.

I think I might sell them and get a pair of OEM instead.

Hopefully, skabone69 will get back to me.

thanks,
Brian

Unless you're going to get the OEM fogs, don't bother (and yeah, there's some cutting, but there's nothing to it). Aftermarket lights weren't designed for plastic bumpers. They'll shake and vibrate and look ghetto no matter how well you mount them.

Thats right.. I had aftermarket Tenzo 500 Foglights on my first 91 Accord EX and it wasn't that great.. Go with OEM foglights.. I will do same thing with my 93 Accord.. if I can find one.. Good luck

tenzo 700x. custom bolted to the frame with steel L-brackets. and no, those aren't the crap bulbs that came with it either.

You're the exception to the rule. In my experience, most people I know with aftermarket fogs have them bolted to the bumper and of course, they shake and vibrate and generally look stupid.

Anyway, good job, seriously - that had to have taken some work and they look sweet. That's the way to do it!

thanks and very true. i think i'm gonna take them off the sedan (the other car) when i get home on the weekend. those things are hideous and even with a good install job, they are still a bit bouncy. i just wish oems came in glass and not plastic. but then not very many factory lights (if any) come in glass anymore.

I'd say OEM or nothing at all.

Yep, that's an exception. Nice work.

Jon...Yep, it's basically to protect them from breaking. Lots of rocks flying around that low on the car, and plastic can take a licking better than glass.

There were also some JDM Accord replica fogs floating around that looked good, but still didn't fit just right.
