FogLights for FD2R front bumper?!!

[David321]

HEy guys i was wondering you any one knows if there is a foglight that will fit into the fd2r foglight spacer?

i was looking at the mondulo kit and it seemed the same shape not sure if it will fit or if anyone is selling foglights to fit fd2r kit?

Or will i have to get a customized foglight and if so where can i get this?

[Mr Abzii]

Hey david i have fd2 foglights in my fd2r front bumper. you just need to make a hole in the mesh and custom fit it. I used screws and glue to hold it in place.

[jprak]

^ got pics of it? im keen to see how it turns out =)

[Mr Abzii]

this is the only pic i have, took it after the accident last night. not a clear pic but you will get the gist

oh thanks alot mr abzii i didnt know that >< luckily i still have my factory front bumper... BTW did you get your fd2r FRONT bumper to fit perfectly?? cas when the panel beaters tried to fit mine the clips broke cas it was a very very tight fit so in that case we had to use some sort of car glue to stick it in place? would you happen to know what that glue is?

what about these?

HEy guys i was wondering since i got my fd2r kit glued on cas my clips broke when the panel beaters were installing it , is there a way to connect the foglights + install it in place from under the car by lifting it up or would i have to completely remove the front bumper??
I'd rather do it myself if its doable to save expenses =p

[David321]

Oh btw i just went to panel beaters to try fit my foggies but there was no way of installing it cas the foggi brackets wont touch the bumper for it to b screwed in or glied... Soo i was wondering how you did it abzii ..if u can list me the steps how you fit it in that wud b great cheers

looks good but i wonder how effective the foglamps from those are looks pretty small =p

[Mr Abzii]

Glued front bumper doesnt sound good, your bumper will be more prone to breaking on impact as compared to one installed with clips. In order for you to install the FD2 stock foglights the way i did its going to very hard to do without taking the front bumper off.

Firstly you will need to take the bumper off and remove the mesh. Slot the foglight in the area where the mesh was and see how they both fit and find the perfect angle and symmetry you want.
Then take the off the plastic bracket from behind the foglight and they will seperate into 2 pieces. Then take the mesh and cut out the shape of the foglight and slot it in, then put the plastic bracket
back on the behind the foglight and it will be locked into place. use some glue between the mesh and plastic bracket and hold it in place until dry. Plug the wires in and its good to go :)
it doesnt make much sense from reading the instructions, but when you have everything infront of you then it will be easy to understand.

the foggies dont look as good in this picture because of the odd mix match of aftermarket and OEM. But more recently i switched back to stock headlights and got a type r grill mounted on the mugen grill and it looked much better.

Nope its OEM FD2 foglights that i got off my car when it was in stock form. I'll take detailed pics from infront and behind of the foglights next time i go to my panel beater this week.

[kikimushroom]

Im assuming its the civic 09+ Theres some on ebay. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MARS-Bumper-Fog-Lights-Foglight-Honda-CIVIC-FD-2-09-11-/130477027261?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e61096fbd

Do you know if they will fit into the fd2r foglamp shape cas the shape of the mondulo and fd2r foglamp is simular?

cheers mate =)

[kikimushroom]

yeah it looks similar but you would probably just need to do some minor modifications for it to fit

[Mr Abzii]

I decided to go mugen rr front bumper now, so i have no use of the foglights + bracket anymore, let me know if you want it.

[kikimushroom]

why not type r again? type r looks more nicer imo

[Mr Abzii]

Yeah i was going to go type r again but found a great deal on the mugen rr front bumper, might aswell go something different second time around :)

[David321]

How much was the mugen rr

[Mr Abzii]

500 for the mugen rr front bumper in PP material, including foglights. now I just have to find somewhere i can source the DRL's and front lip/splitter for the front bumper.

There's two of the RR front lips in Aus. I have one and Mike owns on in QLD.

this kit comes with the front rr lip but the bumper is for the udsm models, try asking the seller if they would sell the lip separately

I cant find anyone that sells it in Aus. Can you recommend anywhere to get it from duffy ?

I messaged one of sellers on a couple of days ago on ebay and they said that they will get back to me with a price, but they havent replied.

[DuffyFD]

Mikey ordered two, not sure where from and I bought one from him.

Australian aftermarket supply sucks :(

I have modifiedd the mesh to fit the foggies which took me half a day considering i have to work under the car as well as i couldnt take my front bumper off, i had to make a template and cut out the foggies shape precisely and slotted it in!! a hard work well done =)

[David321]

hey abzii i was thinking of not glueing the foggies to the mesh and let it be held b the bracket plus the tight mesh fit , do you think its a good idea ,... it wont fall out im certain of that...

[Mr Abzii]

Good Work ! im glad it worked out well for you. Yeah its secure even without the glue, but i just added it so that there is no chance for any movement whatsoever. If its a perfect fit and there is no "play" between the mesh and bracket, then i wouldnt bother.
