Euro Foglights.

[viper8548]

Got a question, want to get some foglights installed (Genuine ones from Honda) for my 05 Std Euro. Are they worth it? They want $500 fitted, do you find the stock bulbs are bright enough or what? What's the best move to do, not get the foggies or buy them and replace the bulbs?

Fogs are absolutely useless, I find my low beam's range and angle of coverage alot better, the fogs are just for show. I just did a H11 to H9 conversion tonight, took me 2hrs, the gap is sooooo tight to stick my hand in, and I'm considered small already.

Agreed,the fogs are useless,for decoration only.the conversion looks good but i'm too lazy to do it as i don't use my fogs anyway.

Because it's not standard, of course they won't fit it.

yeah, but the DIY guide made no mention on it. And even claimed that the 'ONLY' difference was the extra opposing tab inside the connector (the one that is meant to be sliced off).

Ok if they were different bulbs and managed to fit to the existing connector maybe, but taking it to them and expecting them to slice off the tab is unlikely to say the least.

i pre-sliced them...

If you sliced the tab yourself, why didn't you install it yourself?

it wasn't my car, and i bloody got them for him and everything, and wasn't prepared to waste any more time. i'm so sick of helping people and doing favours.
anyway, enough complaining.

so i can definitely do it from underneath.
do i need to jack her up?

[traumatized]

no you will not need to jack up your car to change the fog lights if you car is standard height if its lowered then yes you will need to

[dainese]

Not to be rude of anything but....RTFM
For the 06+ models theres 2 screws + one clip that needs to be removed before you can bend the cover and stick your hands through

anybody know the output wattage and consumption wattage of the stock h11 bulbs? If I bought aftermarket bulbs with output wattage of 80W and consumption wattage of 55W, would I have issues with heat/melting?

Also, is is true the yellow bulbs give the best visibility?
