Non-original Foglights for a 1998-1998 Accord.

Dear friends, hope you can help me out. I am thinking of installing some foglights to my accord but there seems to be 3 main issues I am encountering...

1) My original front kit (lip) does have a mounted area for foglights.

2) I do not know which foglights to go for - the round looking ones or the rectangler ones - which are better and more in fashion? A brand name would be good too please.

3) After I have chosen my desired foglights - where should I go to, to get them installed and how much roughly would it cost?

I live in Melbourne - so far I've gone to a place called Auto pro and have been quoted $60.00 for the foglights - they look alright, a bit small though and the mechanic said that he'll do his best to install them for me - somehow I don't feel confident he'll do a good job - plus labour, they've agreed upon $250.00.

Please help!

erm, 1998-1998 accord? Do you have a V6-L or a Euro? :confused: Didnt you sell the Euro?

3. Any Auto-electrician can install them for you. Its not hard to install, so one hour labour sounds right (maybe ~$70).

Go to www.yellowpages.com.au and search for 'Auto Electrician' in your area.

eBay may have some decent foglights at a good price.

Well its quite an easy job, I did my own and it only took me half an hour, which included a switch in the dash.

Any auto electrical shop will suffice, or do it yourself if you are game :thumbsup:

If you are not confident in doing it yourself then yeah its better to get the pro's to do it.

I'm in Sydney so I can't recommend anyone in Melbourne ;)
