Default Factory fog lights

I have recently been debating on whether or not to purchase factory/factory style fog lights for my 96 Accord. Does anybody have pictures of their 96-97 Accord with factory fog lights and would they be worth buying?

I have a set of the ones from Procarparts. I think they are worth getting and they look just like factory in my opinion. They also have the factory style switch and all the wiring harnesses.

Default Factory fog lights

Are the for lights the same for a 94-95 and 96-97 accord? Ive noticed some minor differences in the front end and wasnt quite sure if they are the same. I can find fogs for a 94-95 accord, but am having trouble finding them for a 96. Also, are they difficult to install?

They should be the same for the 96-97 models. The install is pretty straightforward and is not very difficult. All the wiring and connectors are already attched so its just a matter of running the wires and plugging them in. You do have to take off the front bumper and the plastic inside the driver side wheel well to run the wire into the car. The wire inside the car has a factory style plug that plugs right into the fusebox in one of the open slots and then it goes to a factory style swithch that goes into the stock location above the radio. The way they are setup they come on with your parking lights but they also have the switch to turn them on/off when you want.

Here are the instalation instructions Honda provides with their lights, the process is the same for the procarparts lights I believe.
