Just wondering if anyone has ordered the optional foglamps for the VTi or VTi-L models. If so, please tell me (or better yet, take a photo?) of the switch inside the car?
I'm curious if it's a toggle switch on the buttons console on the right of the wheel (not sure what else you call that bay of empty switches) or if it's like the Sport which is located on the stalk.
Cheers.
jc.
its integrated on the stick where the hi/low beams are. Theres like a turning style switch about 1/4 way down. Only comes on if parker lights are on, so you cant drive with foggies only
I haven't got mine yet, but I was told I would get a new stalk with it.. (Vti)
its on the stalk.
oh btw, i would kindly recommend staying away from aftermarket ones, seen the swiches fail, and a poor design, which doesn't make fitment that great, and off, also the adjustment for it, is pretty useless.
lol.
anywhere outside of honda we can source the oem foglights (with all parts) so we can install ourself?
or is it possible to purchase from honda themself without installation?
just wondering what's the cheapest way to get foggies on.
Ryanc: PM destrukshn just above you ^^^
of course you can buy ity without honda installing it.
when you buy it you get all the parts
you also, get the instructions to install from honda in the box when you buy the foglights
lol.
lol i'm just currently debating whether or not to spring for the genuine OEM ones. only catch is i don't have much $$ atm ><
my advice, go for genuine for the reasons i said above.Quote:

btw, it seems like there are only like 5 people active on FD threads (me, Shimian, jace, Jo_e)... lol
cos we love our FDs :p
i bought the foggies from destrukshn for a good price. Im gonna get it installed when i send it for service...118 bucks to get it fixed by honda. Just one question..ive got HID at the mo..will that cause any problems for the honda installers??
A new light switch is also included with the fog lamps
*Cough* *Cough*... i'm pretty active on the FD threads.... I'd be more active... but I [still] haven't received my fd1. Should be here in Nov sometime.
ok ok. its now 6 people active on FD threads (Andyhui01, Shimian, jace, Jo_e and MarkCivicVti)
if we count active non-FD owners, we can count xquizit too :P
ozR18, are you serious about the $118 install from Honda? I must have gotten ripped off by my mechanic for the $150 install and my switch isn't even on the stalk.
^^ LOL my Honda service center wanted $180.. ($90 per hour) going to shop around if I get the fog lights, I am not paying that much ;)

Yeah thats why they told me when asked them last..it takes them 1.5 hrs i think to install...i said ill supply my own genuine honda fd foggies when i send the car for service next.
its like 80 bucks or something for an hr. The switch comes together with the fog lamps and wiring etc
well I'm getting BK to do mine. got quoted $370 all up (incl. install) for genuine Honda ones so i'll probably go for it.
just need to save up $$ a bit longer.. maybe after uni finals i'll have some spare cash lying around. better stop drinking alcy for a lil while :)
good choice!!!Quote:

I got the aftermarket one.. installed it by my self.. allignment not that great.. still does the job.. dash switch is not suitable tho.. cbf to fixed it for the moment.. but you get what you paid..
for anyone planning to install bodykit on their car.. please do mind to cut the black "sink" that covering the screw to dismantle the fog lights.. or you'll end up took off the whole bumper just to replace the bulbs.. as after you install bodykit.. you'll be having trouble taking off this cover..
