Del Sol - Factory Fog Lights??

[dsp26]

Hi all,

Not a n00b... just a quick question and thought it would be better here...

Did Pre-95 model CRXs have a Factory Fog Light in place of the High Beam?? Those 2 circle lights at the front of mine are yellow???

I've checked the harness also, not an H patter type bulb and it seems factory as the loom hasn't been modified in anyway apart from when i did some re-wiring....

that looks odd
i don't think so dude?

[dsp26]

^^yeah thought it was odd also....

the light housing also accomodates the above spin/screw on type harness as opposed to normal H pattern Pin/Lock system...

[dsp26]

WTF?!?! is the foglight a JDM/USDM item??

just found these factory items on ebay:

[destrukshn]

does it actually work well?
lol

[destrukshn]

beucase those bulbs are only 21w opposed to a normal 55w h/light globe.

lol

no noticable visibility improvement...

but i think i just found the answer... in eBay of all freakin palces lol.

AUDM/EDM came with the High Beam using H4 bulbs...

maybe someone should move this to the Civic/CRX section or even migrate it into the FAQs threrad... i got this feeling this ain't standard...

i even have 1 piece lights instead of the 2 piece...

[destrukshn]

so you must have a the imported model?
becuase as far as i know, the one pieces are from the imports?

ok i'm not trying to be ricey but these are the only replacements i can find....

would they be bright enough as a high beam replacement??

i reeeeeaaaallly want high beam... tonights heavy rain proved to me that i can't see properly in the dark when its raining heavily :(

hhmm.. good reason for me to show up at the meet on sat and ask the gen3 blokes...

[destrukshn]

that could work, you can also re wire it, so the main headlight, also incorporates the high beam?
since it does use a h4, just doesn't have the wire for it.

[dsp26]

^^^Thanks for all the help... was trying to avoid doing too much DIY on this car but unavoidable i guess (traumatised from last car being written off.. soo much work only to pull it all out in the span of 2 weekends)...

will give that ebay kit a go.... it actually has an H3 bulb rated at 55w... is that big/strong enough for a high beam?

I vaguely remember my single light lo/hi H4 for the NX being rated at 55w/110w lo/hi....

[destrukshn]

for the h4 bulbs, it's usually, 55/65watts
from my understanding, h3's are made for foglights, but are also the cheapest to manufature into lights themselves, eg. cheap angel eye head lights, uses h3, for the low beams, which is kinda useless i reckon.
also.
foglights are supposed to be low, not high.. becuase if there was actually fog, it would just reflect off the fog, and not shine through, that's why it's low. lol.

but yeah, quite frankly, i'd probably just try source the normal high beam lights.
also, your car can't be a import, becuase, your VIN came up on hondas system, and honda only keeps australian VIN numbers on system.
so maybe it was changed? or had a front ender?
who knows now.
lol

[dsp26]

^^yeah pretty sure it's been in a slight front ender lol... can see traces of the damage will i will fix myself later.

i know its gonna cost an arm and a leg, but was wondering if i could get a quote off you for the fogs if it is able to be sourced?

***EDIT***

Pretty sure they are custom job. Try contacting SAXMAN on O/H. He is from the States but he is able to custom make Angel Eye headlights or point you in right direction for making your own.

Aint cheap & not an easy job though, Im dying for a manufacturer to make their own OEM item!

And that Black CRX is HOT!



BTW - Any more photos of the rims on that black one? Might have to install some Enkei RPF1's or RS7's... Dont know why I havnt so far... Tooooo busyy

[jdm_kid]

you could try these headlights ? good ppl too

you don't need to source the front bar..
existing AUDM front bars have been stenciled out for fogs..
so all you need to do is cut it out..

the hard part is finding fogs.. with a switch..
