RB1 3rd row motor and fog lights

**AusAccord** · 21-02-2011 06:35 PM

ok since you have the pics attached above then i may answer yr pm here. blue pic on the right is pre faccelift Absolute JDM model and the ebay set is for JDM pre facelifte M type model which is our AUDM model here. Absolute model has pre-cut foglight housing and even comes with foglight. the M model has to cut fitting the ebay set. presume yr 07 AUDM model is facelift model with LED tail light. so i'm 99.9% sure the pre-facelift model foglight bracket is different to ours unless you modded to fit which is possible.

so how to install our foglight? you have to cut the foglight oval shape on both side of 1 piece OEM air dam grille (thats how you describe) then fit the bracket with foglight from inside. once installed then you fit the foglight bezel by using the cover on yr left hand pic. far left is the bezel uses without front lip, middle is for with Modulo front lip installed and far left is for JDM Absolute model which is not applicable here unless you have swapped front bumper.

a installation manual shows clearly how to install the foglight and all of us here are DIY. so you can ask any family men here again if further info is needed.

^^ oh, i have a JDM version if you like to read Japanese

looks at the manual again and realise i mixed up the installation procedure a little bit, the foglight bracket should attach to front bezel with air grille in between.

that's ok bro, will wait.
while i'm still looking the "suitable" generic fog :-)
i might still keep the original bumper, since i don't want to 'touch' this family car (only 17"wheel, may be fog, and may be 2din gps :-)
so i still tryin' to get the fog bezel size of cl7, w203, and what is the other one, i forgot ???
hopefully, the size is suitable for rb1 FL, and do little bit of custom bracket/positioning.
anyway, all still in draft plan.., definitely will update :-)
